The Song Is You (Frank Sinatra album)

The Song Is You is a 1994 box set by American singer Frank Sinatra.

This five disc box set contains every studio recording Frank Sinatra performed with Tommy Dorsey and his orchestra, a few tracks of alternate recording takes, and a full disc of mostly-unreleased radio broadcasts. It is considered a definitive look at the first years of what would become a half-a-century long career.
