Duets/Duets II 90th... [Box] [Limited] [11/22]
"Duets/Duets II 90th Birthday Limited Collector's Edition [Box] [Limited]" (11/22/2005) Pop Vocal Sinatra, Frank, Capitol/EMI RecordsDUETS AND DUETS II contains a one-hour bonus CD, "Frank Sinatra Duets/The Radio Special." Personnel includes: Frank Sinatra, Luther Vandross, Aretha Franklin, Barbra Streisand, Julio Iglesias, Gloria Estefan, Tony Bennett, Natalie Cole, Charles Aznavour, Carly Simon, Liza Minnelli, Anita Baker, Bono, Gladys Knight, Stevie Wonder, Luis Miguel, Patti Labelle, Jon Secada, Linda Ronstadt, Antonio Carlos Jobim, Chrissie Hynde, Willie Nelson, Steve Lawrence, Eydie Gorme, Lena Horne, Jimmy Buffett, Lorrie Morgan, Frank Sinatra, Jr., Neil Diamond (vocals); Kenny G (soprano saxophone). Personnel: Paul Viapiano, Ron Anthony (guitar); Michael Melvoin (piano); Chuck Berghofer, Dave Stone (bass instrument); Gregg Field, Jeff Hamilton (drums); Chrissie Hynde, Eydie Gorme, Gloria Estefan, Jimmy Buffett, Jon Secada, Kenny G, Lena Horne, Liza Minnelli, Lorrie Morgan, Luis Miguel, Luther Vandross, Neil Diamond, Patti LaBelle, Anita Baker, Aretha Franklin, Stevie Wonder, Tony Bennett, Natalie Cole, Julio Iglesias, Antonio Carlos Jobim, Gladys Knight, Linda Ronstadt, Frank Sinatra, Jr., Barbra Streisand, Bono , Wille Nelson, Carly Simon, Charles Aznavour. During the 1970s and '80s, Frank Sinatra was so disheartened by the state of pop music and by the deterioration of his voice that he kept canceling album projects and recording sessions. This is a real shame because much of his best material from this same period has turned out to be from the very sessions that he quickly abandoned. This continued on until the early '90s, when Sinatra's wife Barbara persuaded him to record these two duets albums. She wanted to get him energized about his career again and she wanted to have a piece of his recorded legacy to call her own (royalties from Sinatra's Capitol Recordings go to charity, royalties from his Reprise recordings go to his children, while the ones from both of these duets albums mainly go to Barbara). Both of these albums were huge successes and have actually outsold most of his original releases. The only problem is that they shouldn't have been made in the first place. While neither disc is terrible, they are pretty bad when held against most of Sinatra's considerable back catalog. This matter only gets worse when all of the songs heard here are famous Sinatra standards done in the same tempos that everybody knows. So, not only is the 78-year-old Sinatra competing against his younger self, he's also competing against the exact versions of songs that he cut in his prime. This two-disc set is really aimed as a gift purchase during the holidays. If you really want to pick up some Frank Sinatra you'd be better served by getting a two-disc overview of his Capitol or Reprise years than this set. ~ Nick Dedina Capitol repackaged and re-released Frank Sinatra's Duets/Duets II as a slipcased box set to coincide with the singer's 90th birthday. It's not a bad way to acquire the albums if you don't already own them, and it does include one bonus track "My Way" with Willie Nelson, making this version of marginal interest to hardcore collectors. ~ Al Campbell

Classic Duets by Frank Sinatra (CD - 11/05/2002)
"Classic Duets" (11/05/2002) Pop Vocal Sinatra, Frank, Capitol/EMI RecordsPersonnel: Frank Sinatra, Louis Armstrong, The Hi-Lo's, Peggy Lee, Ella Fitzgerald, Dinah Shore, Peggy Lee, Nancy Sinatra, Tri-Tones, The McGuire Sisters, Shirley Jones, Bing Crosby, Dean Martin, Sammy Davis, Jr., Ethel Merman, Louis Prima, Keely Smith, Lena Horne, Elvis Presley, Peggy Lee (vocals). Includes liner notes by Charles Pignone. All tracks have been digitally remastered. Frank Sinatra's Duets and Duets II albums were artistic disasters, a tattered way to end a long, distinguished recording career -- and the third CD of duets, Classic Duets, is an obvious attempt to latch onto their undeniable financial success, right down to the similar pastel cover art. But this collection is the real thing -- real duets sung in real time, taken from Sinatra's short-lived ABC television show from 1957 and four subsequent one-hours specials through 1960. This is a series of snapshots of big-league showbiz in the 1950s, set well apart from the timeless concept albums that Sinatra was recording at Capitol at the time. Here, side by side with some of the biggest singing stars of the time, Sinatra interacts easily, wisecracking at his partners, rarely missing a beat, the consummate pro making it sound easy. Some of the duets are quite brief -- the number with Louis Prima lasts only a minute -- and lyrics are changed constantly to reflect something that may have been topical or personal at the time. The sound is not unexpectedly variable from track to track -- mono of course, but always listenable. Not all of the pairings strike fire; the "If I Loved You" duet with Shirley Jones -- the original matchup for the film Carousel (Sinatra walked out early in the production) -- is a mismatch of styles. The teenaged Nancy Sinatra can be heard in her pre-"Boots" manner, trying to stay afloat in Dad's big-band idiom. Yet Sinatra does manage to interact with Ethel Merman, who always keeps going one way like a Sherman tank. It's always a treat to hear Sinatra kidding around with Dean Martin, or cracking up Dinah Shore in the middle of a seamlessly linked medley. The highlight for many collectors and curiosity-seekers is the first official release on an audio CD of the historic Sinatra/Presley duet made shortly after Elvis got out of the Army; the King briefly forgets the words to "Witchcraft" while Frank impeccably swings "Love Me Tender." For jazz fans, the high points are three separate duets with Ella Fitzgerald, providing a taste of what a Frank/Ella album -- talked about but never undertaken -- might have been like. Hearing the frustratingly brief "Put Your Dreams Away" with Sinatra and Fitzgerald, which fades out after 43 seconds, points out the fragility of these kinescopic alliances, how special they were, and how distant they seem from 21st century culture. ~ Richard S. Ginell

Duets
"The Duets" (11/07/1994) Pop Vocal Laine, Frankie, Bear Family (Germany)Released in 1994 as a precursor to Bear Family's onslaught of humongous Frankie Laine box sets, this bracingly upbeat collection documents his periodic duet collaborations with the mighty Jo Stafford, one of the few female vocalists who could stand her own ground alongside this cocky, surly-voiced pop singer. In the photo on the album cover, old Frankie looks like he's come to the realization that he is sharing the microphone with a woman who can handle anything he belts out and toss it back at him like a medicine ball. Recorded during the years 1951-1954, The Duets will appeal mostly to those who crave zippy, often corny fast paced entertainment. This element is epitomized by "A Bushel and a Peck" and the Hank Williams numbers "Hey Good Lookin'" and "Settin' the Woods on Fire." The trotting pace of "Hambone" and "Piece a Puddin" is even spunkier, and Wesley Webb West's steel guitar is brought into the fray on "Christmas Roses." Both singers' links to the jazz world are more in evidence during Hoagy Carmichael's "In the Cool, Cool, Cool of the Evening," and Laine pours himself all over "Way Down Yonder in New Orleans" and "Floatin' Down to Cotton Town," made famous during the 1930s by Fats Waller and his Rhythm. A comparatively relaxed rendition of the "Basin Street Blues" comes as a pleasant surprise, and this is a good place to point out the collective presence of a healthy contingent of jazz players such as trumpeters Ziggy Elman and Charlie Teagarden; trombonist Abe Lincoln; saxophonists Babe Russin, Eddie Miller, and Ted Nash, as well as guitarists Barney Kessel and George Van Eps. Some of this material was produced by Mitch Miller. Maybe that's why the annoying Norman Luboff Choir shows up uninvited, as it were, to add early-'50s cheese to performances that are already giddy enough for anybody's money. Most listeners will probably find the choir's grinning, somewhat deranged presence on "Let's Have a Party" to be so over-the-top as to suspend reality with all the charm of a swiftly munched fistful of Dexedrine spansules. Their overbearing delivery is the main drawback to this collection. Then again, of course, if it's subtlety you're after, you're barking up the wrong cactus with Frankie Laine. ~ arwulf arwulf

Judy Duets/Judy at the Palace by Judy Garland (CD - 05/06/2003)
"Judy Duets/Judy at the Palace" (05/06/2003) Pop Vocal Garland, Judy, Wiley MusicFor what would have been Judy Garland's 75th birthday, Sid Luft Music released the double album of Judy Duets/Judy at the Palace. The set unites 13 duets from CBS' weekly variety show, The Judy Garland Show, and a live concert recorded at the Palace Theater in New York on February 24, 1952. The pairing of the two albums separated by over a decade (the live show was first released by Decca shortly after it was recorded) would be strange if they both weren't important recordings. As with most '60s Judy Garland recordings, one has to be prepared for less-than-stellar live performances. The star of stage and screen was often emotionally overwhelmed, forgetful, and out of breath. If you are prepared for those problems then Judy Duets will stun you. Garland shows no sign of vulnerability or weakness as she holds her own with some of the most important figures in American music. A favorite duet is the one with Bobby Darin, because it is also the most ambitious, attempting 12 songs, including "On the Atchison, Topeka and the Santa Fe" and "Some of These Days." Other duets include Mel Torm?; Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin; Lena Horne; Peggy Lee; Liza Minnelli; the Count Basie Orchestra; Mickey Rooney; Barbra Streisand; Jack Jones; Ethel Merman; Tony Bennett; and Vic Damone! Overall there are 62 songs in the various medleys. Unlike Frank Sinatra's Duets album, where nearly every song seemed poorly conceived and executed, the songs on this disc all shine. Fans of Barbra Streisand will undoubtedly love their duet, which pairs Judy Garland's signature tune with Barbra's first big hit. (Warning: you might want to turn down the volume while listening to the Ethel Merman duet.) The accompanying concert at the Palace, however, is colored by more histrionics than the made-for-television duets. There are moments in the live show when Garland actually states she is "too old" for performing and seems to laugh at jokes that remain mysteries to the audience. The versions here of "Over the Rainbow" and "Liza" are homeruns which makes up for things a bit. Both discs are worth having, but it is nice to listen to Judy at the top of her game and to forget for an hour or so that her life was complicated and tragic. Overall, the sound quality is fabulous, and both discs contain very important material that thankfully was preserved by Garland's third husband and made available to the public. ~ JT Griffith

"Duets [Pazzazz]" (08/23/2005) R&B Jones, Tom, Pazzazz"Recordings mastered from the legendary U.S. coast to coast T.V. specials," reads a note on the back of this budget release, and that's all the information offered on a collection of 21 duets between Tom Jones and a wide range of other performers. (Curiously, there is also one track, "Pain," performed by Tina Turner solo!) In fact, along with song titles, duet partners, and the legally required song publishing information, that's all the text to be found on this disc, and even some of that is incorrect; Deniece Williams, Marisa Berenson, and Sondra Locke get their names misspelled. Did we say Marisa Berenson and Sondra Locke, actresses not exactly known as singers? Yes, we did, and they're here along with Susan Anton and Brooke Shields, who have been known to open their mouths in song on occasion, but justly are not famous for it. The rest of Jones' partners are real singers, however, and they are an odd cross section of, well, perhaps the kind of performers he might expect to run into in Las Vegas, from Paul Anka to Juliet Prowse and Lola Falana, plus associates from his country days like Lynn Anderson and Tanya Tucker, as well as soul singers such as Isaac Hayes and Teddy Pendergrass, and even Donny and Marie Osmond (on separate songs). Whew! Clearly, Jones is happy to co-star with practically anyone, and, as usual, he applies an equally open-minded approach to material, ready to tackle a variety of pop/rock, country, and traditional pop. He is a good duet partner, too, working with his co-singers, listening to them, and matching their interpretations with his own. There are some silly performances here, but Jones is never afraid to look foolish (or stand next to someone who does), so he never really suffers, even when Brooke Shields is torturing "Little Queenie." ~ William Ruhlmann

Duets by Barbra Streisand (Cassette - 11/26/2002)
"Duets" (11/26/2002) Pop Vocal Streisand, Barbra, Sony Music Distribution (USA)DUETS is a compilation of duets and contains a new duet recording with Barry Manilow, "I Won't Be The One Let Go". Personnel includes: Barbra Streisand, Barry Manilow, Barry Gibb, Neil Diamond, Bryan Adams, Ray Charles, Frank Sinatra, Celine Dion, Donna Summer, Johnny Mathis, Kris Kristofferson, Kim Carnes, Don Johnson, Vince Gill, Michael Crawford, Judy Garland, Harold Arlen, Josh Groban. Producers include: Walter Afanasieff, Richard Marx, Barry Gibb, Albhy Galuten, David Foster. Recorded between 1966 & 2002. Barbra Streisand's long and varied career is the stuff of legend, as the actress/director/songstress consistently takes chances, never content to rest on her laurels. DUETS, a collection of her collaborations, reflects this wide-sweeping talent, amassing tracks from every facet of Streisand's career. DUETS includes partnerships with stars of pop, country, soul, disco, rock, songwriters of a bygone era, and stars of Broadway and opera. It boasts a track from probably the most famous record to bear the same title (Frank Sinatra's DUETS), a live duet with Dorothy herself culled from a 1963 episode of the Judy Garland Show, and the underappreciated mellow-cool "Guilty" with Bee Gee Barry Gibb. Number One hits with Neil Diamond and Donna Summer sit alongside less remembered alliances with Celine Dion and Kim Carnes. There's even a track on which Barbra doubles up with herself. Most importantly to fans and collectors alike, DUETS features two new tracks, a fetching, modern Disney-esque torch song with Barry Manilow ("I Won't Be The One To Let Go") and a pitch perfect pairing with rising opera-pop star Josh Groban (the inspirational "All I Know Of Love").

Duets & Rarities: The Gold Collection by Frank Sinatra (CD - 04/09/1998)
"Duets & Rarities: The Gold Collection" (04/09/1998) Pop Vocal Sinatra, Frank, Retro Records (UK)Frank Sinatra's DUETS & RARITIES: GOLD COLLECTION features two CDs of just that--classic duets with Doris Day and more, plus rare tracks like "Home on the Range." Duets & Rarities: The Gold Collection is a two-disc set collecting 40 duets and rarities (natch) featuring Frank Sinatra. Most date from the '40s, his Columbia years, and most can be found on the gargantuan 12-disc set The Columbia Years (1943-1952): The Complete Recordings. The first disc features a few intriguing duets ("New York, New York" with Gene Kelly, "A Little Learning Is a Dangerous Thing" with Pearl Bailey, "Me and My Shadow" with Sammy Davis, Jr., even the oddball "Mama Will Bark" with Dagmar), some ostensibly grabbed from radio shows. The quality is sub-standard, though, and, despite the presence of a few novelties, none but the most rabid Sinatra collectors need bother with it. ~ John Bush
