Review-

"Frank Lamphere finds himself behind enemy lines in Sinatra territory, as would any singer who dares delve into (as the sub-title of his cd announces) "The Unforgettable Songs of Sammy Cahn." Not that the late chairman is the enemy. Nothing of the sort. The real foe is our cultural database which finds so many of these songs in the Sinatra file on our memory’s hard drive, and raises certain expectations when some other Frankie-come-lately tries to appropriate some of them. So, here we have Frank Lamphere singing very well indeed, in a relaxed, straight ahead, unaffectedly hip Buddy Greco sorta style- and I can well imagine the dear departed Francis Albert enjoying this CD in some celestial Hoboken listening room, because if he could tolerate Dean Martin’s blowzy saloon locutions, he’s gotta dig this new Frank, who swings niftily, in tune, and who makes the lyrics ring true while being thoroughly ingratiating...this is more than a moderatly worthy disc, very amiable, and even reassuring in the way one thinks of comfort food. Seen in broader perspective, it may be heard as the striving of a good and gutsy singer pushing a boulder up Sinatra Mountain with his sturdy larynx, with little hope of getting to the summit...alive."   - Cadence
