5.0 out of 5 stars Rare old gems from 'the Brazilian Sinatra'..., January 12, 2002

This review is from: Copacabana (Audio CD)

An absolute delight! Despite his immense pre-bossa popularity with the postwar generation, pop vocalist Dick Farney's earliest recording have remained hard to track down... until now, that is! This is an outstanding glimpse at Farney during his golden years, from 1946-1952, and it goes a long way to explain Farney's enduring mystique. Although his connection with the Brazilian branch of the Frank Sinatra Fan Club is the stuff of affectionate myth, on this chronologically-arranged disc you can trace his transition from a Bing Crosby devotee into a Sinatra-esque stylist. Both modes are quite fun. This album is highly recommended - crackly sound at times, but one of the Revivendo label's real gems!

4.0 out of 5 stars The Brazilian Frank Sinatra, May 6, 2007

This review is from: Copacabana (Audio CD)

Dick Farney - Pianist, Singer and multi talented as Sinatra ( I just don't know if the danced... ).
This album has classics from Joćo de Barro a.k.a. "Braguinha" like the opening song of the album "Copacabana" the most famous beach from my homeland (Brazil) and no one, not even Sinatra could sing better than Farney.
The album has great interpretations, the arrangements are not as good as the singer tough... and the quality of the recording does not make justice to Farney's vocals, the remastering process is not as good as it should be.
If Farney was american he would be great as Sinatra, trust me.
