This week I've written about both Motown and Sinatra.
Well wouldn't you know it, there is a cool cd that combines the two. MOTOWN CELEBRATES SINATRA is a compilation of Motown artists covering tunes associated with Ol' Blue Eyes.
It's not on itunes, but you can order it here from amazon.com.
Not all of the songs on the cd are "amazing," but overall it is a cool cd. Love Marvin Gaye's soulful cover of ONE FOR MY BABY. This track is actually on itunes. Check it out. Great stuff.
My favorite track is Gladys Knight and the Pips going to town on JUST IN TIME. This song has been on other compilations as well (no itunes though.) Their version has a great groove to it and then suddenly kicks into overdrive. This may be my favorite version of the song besides Blossom Dearie's (and there are a LOT of versions!)
You can hear samples of the whole album here.
