Product Description

It was Robbie's love of Sinatra and Dean Martin and the rapturous reception to 'Have You Met Miss Jones?' (Robbie's contribution to the soundtrack of 'Bridget Jones's Diary') that inspired 'Swing When You're Winning'. The album features some of the finest songs ever written, sung in astonishing style by our most beloved entertainer. A stunning collection of finger-clickin' Rat Pack standards and new material, the album includes classics such as 'The Lady Is ATramp' and 'Mr Bojangles' plus rocking renditions of the finger-popping perennials 'Ain't That A Kick In The Head', 'They Can't Take That Away From Me' and 'Beyond The Sea'. There are also plenty of guest collaborations, including 'Things' with Jane Horrocks and 'Somethin' Stupid' featuring ex-Mrs Tom Cruise Nicole Kidman.
'Swing When You're Winning' was recorded with an eighteen-piece big band in Sinatra's old stomping ground, the Capital Records Studios in Los Angeles. Williams is both happy and humbled with the results of the recordings: 'I've loved this music since I was a kid in Stoke', he said, 'for me to sing in front of the band that backed Frank Sinatra in the same studio that he used is an absolute honour'.

　シナトラと較べるのは、ロビーにとって酷だけど、キッドマンとのデュオは、フランク＝ナンシー親娘に迫っている。声質そのものが、シナトラに較べると粗いので、やっぱりシナトラが持つしっとりとした感触には遠い。でも、昔のロビーを思えば、大好きなシナトラ愛唱曲を、
