Sobre el álbum
En 2006, la discografía de Michael Bolton se enriqueció con otro elegante tributo, "Bolton Swings Sinatra", un álbum enteramente dedicado al repertorio del legendario Frank Sinatra. Continuando la senda que había explorado en "Vintage", este disco es una inmersión total en el mundo del swing y las grandes orquestas, un proyecto que parecía hecho a medida para él.
Con el respaldo de una fantástica big band, Michael Bolton afronta con soltura y carisma clásicos inmortales como "New York, New York", "Fly Me to the Moon" o "My Funny Valentine". A diferencia de su álbum de arias, aquí se le nota completamente en su elemento, disfrutando de cada fraseo y cada golpe de la orquesta.
El álbum destaca por su producción de alta fidelidad, que captura a la perfección la energía y la sofisticación de este tipo de música. El disco no suena como una imitación, sino como un homenaje sincero y vibrante. Michael Bolton no intenta ser Sinatra; en su lugar, utiliza estas canciones eternas para mostrar su propia faceta como crooner.
"Bolton Swings Sinatra" es un éxito artístico, un disco impecable en su ejecución y enormemente disfrutable. Demuestra, una vez más, la capacidad del cantante para trascender géneros y su profundo respeto por los grandes maestros que le precedieron, consolidando su estatus como un intérprete versátil y de gran clase.

- You Go To My Head4:05
Letra
You go to my head and you linger like a haunting refrain And I find you spinning 'round in my brain Like the bubbles in a glass of champagne You go to my head like a sip of sparkling Burgundy brew And I find the very mention of you Like the kicker in a julep or two The thrill of the thought that you might give a thought to my plea Cast a spell over me Still I say to myself get a hold of yourself Can't you see that it never can be You go to my head with a smile that makes my temperature rise Like a summer with a thousand Julys You intoxicate my soul with your eyes Though I'm certain that this heart of mine Hasn't a ghost of a chance in this crazy romance You go to my head You go to my head - Fly Me To The Moon (In Other Words)
- For Once In My Life3:21
Letra
For once in my life I've got someone who needs me, someone I've needed so long For once unafraid I can go where life leads me, and somehow I know I'll be Strong For once I can touch what my heart used to dream of Long before I knew someone warm like you Could make my dreams come true For once in my life I won't let sorrow hurt me, not like it's hurt me before For once I've got someone I know won't desert me, I'm not alone anymore For once I can say: "This is mine you can't take it" As long as I've got love I know I can make it - Summer Wind2:36
Letra
The summer wind Came blowin' in from across the sea It lingered there To touch your hair and walk with me All summer long we sang a song Then we strolled that golden sand Two sweethearts and the summer wind Like painted kites Those days and nights they went flyin' by The world was new Beneath a blue umbrella sky Then softer than a piper man One day it called to you I lost you I lost you to the summer wind The autumn wind and the winter winds They have come and gone And still the days Those lonely days they go on and on And guess who sighs his lullabies Through nights that never end My fickle friend, the summer wind The summer wind Warm summer wind - My Funny Valentine3:53
Letra
My funny Valentine, sweet comic Valentine You make me smile with my heart Your looks are laughable, unphotographable Yet you're my favorite work of art Is your figure less than Greek? Is your mouth a little weak? When you open it to speak Are you smart? But don't change a hair for me Not if you care for me Stay, little Valentine stay Each day is Valentine's Day Is your figure less than Greek? Is your mouth a little weak? When you open it to speak Are you smart? But don't you change one hair for me Not if you care for me Stay, little Valentine stay Each day is Valentine's Day - I've Got You Under My Skin3:33
- That's Life3:20
- The Second Time Around4:04
Letra
(with Nicollette Sheridan) There are those who'll bet love comes but once, and yet I'm oh, so glad we met the second time around Love is lovelier the second time around Just as wonderful with both feet on the ground It's that second time you hear your love song sung Makes you think perhaps that love, like youth, is wasted on the young Love's more comfortable the second time you fall Like a friendly home the second time you call Who can say what brought us to this miracle we've found? There are those who'll bet love comes but once, and yet I'm oh, so glad we met the second time around Love is lovelier the second time around Just as wonderful with both feet on the ground Who can say what brought us to this miracle we've found? There are those who'll bet love comes but once, and yet - The Girl From Ipanema3:14
Letra
Tall and tan and young and lovely, the girl from Ipanema goes walking And when she passes, each one she passes goes - ah When she walks, she's like a samba that swings so cool and sways so gentle When she passes, each one she passes goes - ooh Ooh, but I watch her so sadly, how can I tell her I love her Yes I would give my heart gladly, But each day, when she walks to the sea She looks straight ahead, not at me Tall and tan and young and lovely, the girl from Ipanema goes walking - Night and Day4:03
Letra
Night and day, you are the one Only you 'neath the moon or under the sun Whether near to me or far It's no matter, darling, where you are I think of you day and night Night and day, why is it so That this longin' for you follows wherever I go? In the roarin' traffic's boom In the silence of my lonely room I think of you day and night Night and day, under the hide of me There's an, oh, such a hungry yearnin', burnin' inside of me And its torment won't be through Till you let me spend my life makin' love to you Day and night, night and day Night and day, you are the one Only you 'neath the moon or under the sun Whether near to me or far It's no matter, baby, where you are I think of you day and night Night and day, why is it so That this longin' for you follows wherever I go? In the roarin' traffic's boom Silence of my lonely room I think of you day and night Night and day, under the hide of me There's an, oh, such a hungry burning inside of me And its torment won't be through Till you let me spend life makin' love to you Day and night, night and day - They Can't Take That Away From Me3:13
- New York, New York
Letra
Start spreadin' the news, I'm leavin' today I want to be a part of it New York, New York These vagabond shoes, are longing to stray Right through the very heart of it New York, New York I want to wake up, in a city that never sleeps And find I'm king of the hill Top of the heap These little town blues, are melting away I'll make a brand new start of it In old New York If I can make it there, I'll make it anywhere It's up to you, New York.. New York New York... New York I want to wake up, in a city that never sleeps And find I'm A number one, top of the list King of the hill, A number one.... These little town blues, are melting away I'll make a brand new start of it In old New York If I can make it there, I'll make it anywhere
