In The Wee Small Hours

by: Frank Sinatra

Release Date November 09, 1992
I never thought I'd review a recording I first heard 52 years ago and first brought (when I finally had some money)42 years ago, but here goes.
Wee Small Hours is , as has been mentioned by previous reviewers the pinnacle of Sinatra's recorded work. His performing of what were mostly old songs in 1955, was entirely different to the treatment they had had before, and supremely better to what the same songs have had since. These are so heartbreakingly beautifully sung, and are so believable for those who have had their heart stomped on, that, half a century on they are painfully fresh.Still. Some things never change.
