Sinatra question


I was listening to a Sinatra (very early years) special on the radio a few days ago, but couldn't listen to the whole show. His voice back in the 40s and as early as the late 30s with Harry James, was drop dead the best he ever sounded to me. I'm looking for recommendations on Sinatra pre 1950. thanks in advance. peace, warren :)

Sinatra's voice was beautiful in the late 30's and 40's, but he didn't yet have the phrasing and impeccable interpretation of lyrics that matured in his Capitol years.

In his youth he was a great band singer and crooner.

In his 40's he became the greatest popular singer of all time.

In his Reprise years, except for a few wonderful albums his voice started to lose that magic.
