RARE I Think of You - Frank Sinatra and Tommy Dorsey

Early version of I Think of You sang by Frank Sinatra with the Tommy Dorsey band sometime in the early 1940s. I had never heard this version until recently. A very rare and apparently seldomly heard gem from the singer's early years. Enjoy.

RACHMANINOFF

[JoshuaHo93]

how does his voice resonate so beautifully?

Melody of the song «I Think of You» (Jack Elliott, Don Marcotte), was incorporated into the album in 1957 «Where Are You?» American singer Frank Sinatra, based on the lyrical theme (E flat major) from Concerto for piano and orchestra № 2 Up minor, Op. 18, I. Moderato by Sergei Rachmaninov.

@JoshuaHo93 .... His voice could resonate so beautifully because he studied voice lessons for years and at the time of these early recordings, Tommy Dorsey wouldn't let Frank drink or smoke to excess, like he did once he broke out on his own. After years of abuse to his throat from too much smoke and liquor, he burned his throat and vocal chords and clogged up his lungs to the point he couldn't draw a good breath to support the sound.

Una de las razones del estilo de Frank Sinatra, es el cortísimo alcance de su aliento y de su registro, de bajo, bajo limitado; pero, aún así, logró triumfar amplamente; ¡cómo?, en mi opinión por el muy grato timbre de su voz,y por su tremenda personalidad..

I like this because Tommy Dorsey is a distant cousin of mine :)
