View More By Frank Sinatra Our ReviewThe Chairman of the Board served up an abundance of Christmas cheer during his long years as an entertainer. From beloved carols to freshly written numbers, Frank Sinatra interpreted just about every type of holiday tune. The Christmas Collection draws upon seasonal releases and TV special soundtracks from the ‘50s through the ‘90s for its selections, capturing the singer at both his festive and poignant moments. His saucy side comes through in jazzy takes on “Santa Claus Is Coming to Town” and “I’ve Got My Love to Keep Me Warm,” while “A Baby Just Like You” and “Whatever Happened to Christmas?” capture him in more mature, reflective moods. Worthy of special notice are “The Twelve Days of Christmas” (sung with children Nancy, Tina and Frank Jr.) and “The Christmas Song” (a mellow duet with Bing Crosby). Some of the lesser-known tracks here — such as the melodically lovely “The Christmas Waltz” — are among the best. Sinatra’s swinging gravitas lends a personal stamp to everything from “The Little Drummer Boy” to “Go Tell it On the Mountain.” First track to last, this anthology is classic holiday music rendered with Sinatra's special magic..

(5 stars)This is the exact music to get yourself into the cold beautiful mood of Christmas, this is that CLASSIC music that immediatly makes you dream about those things you see in the movies: its snowing outside, everyone is gathered around the living room with the fire place on and the Christmas tree is bright with presents underneath it and hot cocoa in your hands, wearing warm sweaters, and spending time with cousins, aunts, uncles, parents and s Essential. Trust me, folks. (5 stars) I know my Frank Sinatra. I own every recording he ever made, every concert, etc. I know his music down from, "From the bottom of My Heart" in 1939 to "My Funny Valentine" on Duets II in 1994. This set is one of the five essential Sinatra purchases. It's not an original album. This compilation picks upon some of Sinatra's finest Christmas recordings between 1957 and 1991, including his 1957 television Christmas special f THE BEST!!! (5 stars) How can you beat Frank Sinatra???? Simple.....you can't!!!! He was, and will always be, one of the worlds best entertainers of ALL TIME!!! This is the best and only Christmas album you'll need to hear this year.......and well for all of time.

In a professional career that lasted 60 years, he demonstrated a remarkable ability to maintain his appeal and pursue his musical goals despite often countervailing trends.
