RADIO RULES...OK?
The following radio show performances by Frank Sinatra are taken mostly from his highly successful SONGS BY SINATRA series. The remainder emanate from YOUR HIT PARADE and LIGHT-UP TIME, plus choice items from other sponsored shows (e.g. Vimms Vitamins). Their origins are credited accordingly. All studio orchestras are conducted (and usually arranged too) by Axel Stordahl, unless otherwise noted.
Track 16 is a vocal duet between Frank Sinatra & Gene Kelly.

* This version of Sinatra�??s theme is out of chronology simply because (in all probability) it is one of the few which comprises a whole one chorus. It is, we suggest of greater interest, especially to the serious collector.
Discographical footnote: It is impossible to effect any information re personnel for radio studios orchestras/bands, except the rare occasion (see above) where soloists appear
