Sing and Dance with Frank Sinatra is the sixth studio album byFrank Sinatra. The tracks were arranged and conducted byGeorge Siravo and his orchestra (except for track four, which was conducted byHugo Winterhalter). Original Columbia 10-inch 33 1/3-rpm LP and 78-rpm album set released October 16, 1950; the 7-inch 45-rpm EP and EP box sets were released in October 1952. (SeeGramophone record for an explanation of these formats.)
It would prove to be the final album that Sinatra released under theColumbia label, another three years before he would start recording forCapitol and another year after that before his next album, entitledSongs for Young Lovers, would be released in 1954. Six of the eight songs on this LP would be remade for one of his contractual obligation albums to Capitol,Sinatra's Swingin' Session!!!.
For its compact disc reissue in 1996, alternate versions of six songs – including "I've Got a Crush on You" and "All of Me" – are included. The extra songs in this compilation, titled slightly differently asSwing and Dance with Frank Sinatra, were recorded between 1944 and 1951.
Expanded CD produced by Charles L. Granata & Didier C. Deutsch
