Come Dance with Me! is an album by the American singer Frank Sinatra, released in 1959.^[2]

It was the most successful album of Frank Sinatra's career, spending two and a half years on the Billboard charts. Stereo Review wrote in 1959 that "Sinatra swaggers his way with effortless verve through an appealing collection of bouncy standards, aptly described in the album notes as vocals that dance". At the Grammy Awards of 1960, Come Dance With Me! won the Grammy Award for Album of the Year, as well as Grammy Award for Best Vocal Performance, Male for Sinatra. Billy May won the Grammy Award for Best Arrangement.

Come Dance With Me stayed on Billboard's Pop album chart for 140 weeks, peaking at #2.

CD Releases

In 1987, Capitol released Come Dance With Me on compact disc with four extra songs not found on the original LP. The mastering for this release is somewhat flat compared to other Sinatra albums released on CD at this time. The 1998 remastered "Entertainer of the Century" version vastly improves the 1987 CD release and also includes the four extra songs found on the 1987 version.
