Virtually all of Sinatra’s 83 studio sides recoded with Tommy Dorsey for RCA from February 1940 to June 1942 are towering masterpieces. His poured-steel renditions of songs like “East of the Sun,” “Everything Happens to Me” and “Violets for Your Furs” remain the versions to beat. “How Do You Do Without Me” is a nearly forgotten tune from his Fox Trot period and features a swingy Sinatra vocal and clock-time drum and cymbal work by Buddy Rich.
