Look to Your Heart by Frank Sinatra on AllMusic

This is one of the odder Capitol collections of Sinatra's 1950s singles and B-sides and it contains a couple of Cahn/VanHeusen tunes from their musical version of Our Town. Sinatra starred in this live television special, which was a musical version of the famed Thorton Wilder play. Unfortunately, these songs don't really work when taken out of the context of the show. Likewise, the melodramatic movie theme "Not As a Stranger" mainly shows off lyricist Sammy Cahn's ability to turn any awkward film title he's given into a love song. Thankfully, Sinatra fans will find all of these "misses" beautifully sung and interesting and there are a couple of real gems on this collection. Two oddly overlooked definitive Sinatra performances are here: the hell-for-leather swinger "I'm Gonna Live Till I Die" (which comes complete with beatnik bongos) and "I Could Have Told You," a melancholy condolence to a one-time romantic rival. While this collection made the Top Ten during 1958, it looks doubtful that it will ever rate a domestic CD reissue. Those who don't haunt used-record shops may breathe a sigh of relief when they find out that all of the tracks found here are available on the excellent box set Complete Capitol Singles Collection.
