Chairman Of The Board On Standby
After a devastating breakup one might look to drown their sorrows with a cocktail in a candle lit room. You need to sense that there is someone in the world who feels as you, whose baritones will wrap you in their song’s embrace; this is where the love of classic vinyl LPs comes into play.
You can seize a number of singers and temptresses, perhaps some Johnny Cash losing his beliefs in a “Ring of Fire” or the loquacious grovels as Leonard Cohen pleas for God’s intervention in “Hallelujah”, or Billie Holiday searching for her “Lover Man”, but the large population will reach for Frank Sinatra vinyl LPs when longing for that heartfelt connection.
For when you listen the trueness of a classic vinyl record you are taken back with its scratchy vocals. In the past few decades we have taken the spirit out of music with contraptions making singing all too perfect.
Frank Sinatra had attitude in him with hits like “All Of Me” and “I Got It Bad And That Aint Good” which isn’t heard on a CD.
The old version of these albums has a brilliance that flows through the recording. Enjoy the flow of Frank’s voice washing away your worries as the needle glides over the black lacquer. As part of the story finishes you are filled with eagerness to jump up and turn over the shiny little black treasure.
Do you think Mr. Sinatra would be indifferent to the method of audio playback? Maybe on today’s modern toys? Or would he want you to feel the warmth of a classic vinyl familiar record?
Some say Frank Sinatra got a lucky break through nepotism, but it was his tonality and capability to sing that kept him at the top. However, fans of Frank have supplied him with redemption. Frank said, “May you live to be 100 and the voice you hear be mine”. May his dreams be granted and classic vinyl records spin at your bedside.
