Iconic entertainers Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, and Sammy Davis Jr.—the Rat Pack, a sheer force of nature on stage and film that defined suave masculine brio in the early 1960s. To commemorate this legendary act, Reprise Records will release an essential collection: THE VERY BEST OF THE RAT PACK on January 25.
Featuring 18 Vegas-era favorites that spotlight each singer, The Very Best Of The Rat Pack captures the upbeat entertainment style synonymous with the trio. Showcasing swinging studio classics from each member solo along with two duets that feature Sinatra and Davis ("Me And My Shadow") and Davis and Martin ("Sam's Song"). The collection also includes a previously unreleased alternate version of Sinatra's “I'm Gonna Live Until I Die."
Ol' Blues Eyes opens the album with the signature track “Come Fly With Me" and also contributes his irresistible hits “I Get A Kick Out Of You" and “Witchcraft." The collection also includes “I've Got You Under My Skin," ranked among Sinatra aficionados as one of his finest collaborations with Nelson Riddle, and “Luck Be A Lady," a song featured in the musical “Guys And Dolls."
Dino's velvety croon takes the spotlight on six unforgettable performances that include “Volare (Nel Blu Dipinto Di Blu)," the dramatic Italian ballad “Who's Got The Action?" from the 1962 film of the same name starring Martin and Lana Turner, and “Ain't That A Kick In The Head," a tune he sang in the Rat Pack's classic 1960 heist film Ocean's 11.
Davis' ebullient delivery and vocal power shine on standout tracks such as “Eee-O Eleven" from the Ocean's 11 soundtrack, “A Lot Of Livin' To Do," a song originally written for the 1960 musical Bye Bye Birdie, and “Too Close For Comfort," from the 1956 Broadway play Mr. Wonderful in which Davis played the starring role.
This collection sets the mood for a romantic Valentine's Day with your loved one!
