What are your recommendations for a greatest hits CD of his work around the time of Mack the Knife, Beyond the Sea and Fly Me to the Moon? What other titles would you include that are in the vegas lounge style, with a big band sound? I’m looking for a CD that avoids his earlier hits like Splish-Splash and Dream Lover. I have checked Amazon, but there is a huge selection, and none seem to have everything I want. Any suggestions? I’m not looking to burn my own.
Without getting a box set (which is a good thing), this is a good compilation of the swing years… Mack the Knife - Bobby Darin
But his live album, The Curtain Falls: Live at the Flamingo, is one of the greats.
