Default Sinatra - can anyone recommend a good swing album?

Can anyone recommend any good Frank Sinatra swing type CD's ?

Or perhaps a compilation of various artists singing some swing stuff ?

I won a cd years ago from a local radio station... think it was a soundtrack from a film out at the time called Swing. ( released in 1999) features Lisa Stansfield. Don't think the film did much at all tho.

if you need any more info just pm me !

Was thinking along the lines of Sinatra, Dean Martin, Tony Bennett, etc...

Not so much Lisa Stansfield

Two by TonyBennet
1. The Essential Tony Bennet
2. Here's to the ladies.

Also a really good compilation is "Swingers" with 36 tracks.

Any early Harry Connick Jnr has good swing songs on it.

Also forgot to say Linda Rondstadt has done 3 albums with Nelson Riddle (the man who made Frank). Superb voice and even better arrangements.
