1	Only the Lonely (1958) more music like this by Frank Sinatra Originally, Frank Sinatra had planned to record Only the Lonely with Gordon Jenkins, who had arranged his previous all-ballads album, Where Are You. Jenkins was unavailable at the time of the sessions, which led Sinatra back to his original arranger at Capitol, Nelson Riddle. The result is arguably his greatest ballads album. Only the Lonely ... see all copies from $9.00! new only from $10.05!

3	Ramblin' Rose/Dear Lonely Hearts (2007) more music like this by Nat King Cole Mail-order firm Collectors' Choice Music has made a reasonable choice in licensing the two albums Nat King Cole released in the second half of 1962 for a two-fer CD.

5	Encore: 1963 (2002) more music like this by Woody Herman While this is hardly "the Swingin'est Big Band Ever," as hyped on the cover on this Verve CD reissue of an LP that originally appeared on Phillips, this 1963 edition of Woody Herman's big band is a strong one, with an emphasis on well-constructed blues charts. Joe Newman's hard-swinging "Molasses," which features tenor saxophonist Sal Nistico and ... see all copies from $20.00!
6	Brenda, That's All/All Alone Am I (2006) more music like this by Brenda Lee Brenda That's All/All Alone Am I, one of Ace's numerous two-for-one packages of early Brenda Lee material, combines her 1962 album Brenda, That's All and her 1963 album All Alone Am I onto one CD, adding historical liner notes.

8	The Legendary Duo at Their Best (2001) more music like this by Les Paul & Mary Ford The silky smooth vocals of Mary Ford blended with the brilliant playing skills of Les Paul produced some of the best pop music of the '50s. On the Legendary Duo at Their Best box set, six of the albums they released between 1950 and 1957 are represented on three CDs. This is a high point for both musicians, as their work together was a perfect fit ... see all copies from $43.53! new only from $43.53!

10	Sometimes I Believe She Loves Me (1964) more music like this by Barbara Dane & Lightning Hopkins The first half of Sometimes I Believe She Loves Me captures a nine-song 1964 improvisational jam between Barbara Dane and Lightnin' Hopkins which remains a charming, if not revelatory, meeting of the minds. The remainder of the record consists of Dane's solo performances of such standards as "Careless Love" and "Betty & Dupree." Jason Ankeny, ... see all copies from $11.24! new only from $11.24!

Although this isn't a bad budget-priced disc, there are better ... see all copies from $7.03! new only from $7.03!
13 view cover	Lookin' on the Bright Side (1993) more music like this by Harold Mabern Trio Harold Mabern was nearing his 57th birthday around the time of the two 1993 studio sessions that provided the music for this Japanese release; he's clearly in a mood to celebrate, as the CD begins with a driving hard bop original, "Look on the Bright Side," powered by his aggressive risk-taking playing and fueled by a lower key solo by young ... see all copies from $47.98! new only from $47.98!

18	Dear Lonely Hearts (1962) more music like this by Nat King Cole Nat "King" Cole scored a Top 40 pop hit and a Top Ten easy listening hit with the Ray Charles-styled "Dear Lonely Hearts" in the fall of 1962, and he quickly went into the studio to cut this album of similar material to take advantage of its success. The theme was romantic longing, and the titles included "Miss You," "Why Should I Cry Over You?," ... see all copies from $1.99!
19 view cover	Closer Than a Kiss/This Game of Love [Collectables] (2003) more music like this by Vic Damone This pairing of two of Vic Damone's Columbia albums spotlights both his strengths and weaknesses as a performer. Closer Than a Kiss showcases Damone's beautiful yet somewhat emotionally empty voice on a respectable but ultimately dull collection of standards. This Game of Love, however, may just be the best album that the crooner ever cut. Damone ... see all copies from $11.74! new only from $11.74!

21 view cover	Jazz in a Sentimental Mood (2001) more music like this by Seger Ellis Although the audience for crooners was quite large in the late '20s and early '30s, it apparently didn't have much room for Seger Ellis. Despite recording dozens of excellent ballads, often accompanied by his piano as well as musicians, including Louis Armstrong, Eddie Lang, and Tommy and Jimmy Dorsey, Ellis wasn't very popular and, as a performer ... see all copies from $10.25! new only from $10.25!
22 view cover	The Complete Modernaires on Columbia, Vol. 2 (1946-1947) (2002) more music like this by The Modernaires After a brief burst of commercial success when they launched their career separate from Glenn Miller, the Modernaires with Paula Kelly began to struggle in the one-year period covered by this second volume of Collectables' four-disc collection of their complete Columbia Records recordings. Popular music taste was changing quickly, along with ... see all copies from $9.82! new only from $9.82!
