Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Sammy Davis Jr.

Eee-O 11: The Best of the Rat Pack (Capitol) Despite its cash-in pedigree, Eee-O 11 is a fun collection that captures the lighthearted, anything-goes nature of the Rat Pack's Sands Hotel shows. As the "leader" and the artist who recorded for Capitol the longest, Sinatra rules the roost with standards like "Witchcraft" and atmospheric ringers like "I'm Gonna Live Until I Die." Martin's effortless tone comes through on "Ain't That a Kick in the Head," while Davis captures the wee-wah-wee mood with "A Lot of Livin' to Do."
