Sinatra at the Sands (1966) featuring the Count Basie band

Couldn't do just five. Had to have Basie and Sinatra. I saw Sinatra at the Sands once...

I know, most you have never heard (or even heard of) most of these artists. I grew up in the 40's and 50's and what you learn early is what sticks with you. I have a number of these on 45 rpm EP albums. Most of them on LP albums. The Sinatra at the Sands is available on CD (multi disk).
