5.0 out of 5 stars Rawls takes Crown, January 12, 2004

Rawls sings Sinatra is the type of album many Lou Rawls fans have waited years for him to produce. A swinging big band, jazzy arrangements with a blues vain throughout. Great songs, fine playing all topped by Rawls' magnificent vocal performances. We have been listening to these songs by Sinatra, Sinatra wanabes or the latest prodigy for over 40 years. How fitting then that Lou Rawls in the autumn of his career should produce one of his finest albums. He takes Mr. Sinatra's classics and makes them his own, given a few listenings the songs on this album sound as if they were written especially for him, dare I say even the phrasing is inch perfect!
Everybody involved in this project can be truly proud to have produced a superb Album that repays repeated plays and the chance to hear one of the Greatest singers of all time with the right material, in the right setting - Frank who!

4.0 out of 5 stars Still a great voice, September 20, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Rawls Sings Sinatra (Audio CD)

Lou Rawls must be in his late 60s now but on this 2003 recording he proves he can still cut it. Yes, some of his range has gone and his voice isn't as assured as it used to be on the ballads, but it remains the richest, smoothest voice in the business. His phrasing is fresh and inventive and he really stamps his mark on these Sinatra classics. My favourite tracks are Nice and Easy, All the Way, Chicago, Learning the Blues and The Lady is a Tramp. Nice arrangements, great songs and a quality singer. Recommended.

This review is from: Rawls Sings Sinatra (Audio CD)

I dig Lou Rawls but this Set doesn't fully work.His voice is still solid but He isn't able to fully pull off Covering Sinatra.it has moments but comes up short&I was hoping this would get Lou back on top again but this is a Good try but a bit short.I'd love to Hear Lou Cover Sam Cooke or Mel Torme stuff then He would Bring it.
