Robbie Williams - Swing When You're Winning (CD 2001)

If youve never heard swing (which alot of teenagers wont have) try this for an up to date version of some much loved songs and a few new.

Robbie dedicated alot of these songs to the origanal artists such as Frank Sinatra. It makes a change to see a pop star do something that no one expects them to do.

A beautiful voice to go with beautiful music and lyrics.

Great for dancing to (such as jive and swing, im a teacher by the way) and loved by older people and the younger ones that are mad over robbie.

Pros: Its robbie doing what he does best....Singing his heart out. its chilling and a great collection of some of the best songs of all time.

Cons: If you know you dont like swing music dont bother buying it and then complaining. Its a definate branch out for robbie that most people wont like the change.


My verdict: Youve got to buy it for the culture and out of respect that Robbie actually tries to bring this culture into todays music charts.

I bought this cd as I did have it a couple of years ago and loved it. But unfortunately I lost it and could not find it anywhere. (It will turn up now I have bought it again). This is a very good cd and would advise to have a listen!

Robbie Williams at his best in my opinion.Great sing along old tunes which Robbie sings just as good if not(in my opinion)better than Sinatra,gives a great feel good factor.All at a Fantastic cheap price,well happy.

I've had this CD for ages but because of it's use it became scratched. I couldn't wait to get a replacement. The CD is superb, Robbie Williams is at his best. The duets are often ad libbed and are fun to hear.

Love this era of music and wondered if Robbie could match likes of Sinatra and Martin. The answer is that he can. Love the choice of songs and the mix of guests. Even my nine year old son loves this CD and sings along to it in the car.

An absolutely fantastic CD! I bought it as a present for my fiance, who had once owned a copy. It was the first time I had heard it though, and I was very impressed - not only by Robbie's singing, but the variety and quality of tracks. Some really excellent foot-tapping and sing-along ones as well. A fantastic CD for background music too, and is sure to appeal to a wide audience - young and old alike. Thoroughly recommended! :)

This is an absolutely awesome album, had to buy again as mine 'went missing', the greatest entetainer around today performing some of the greatest songs ever!

i like everything about this cd it's in good condition and is brill , i played it as soon as i opened it and it sounded good i will play it all the time cos me and my wife love to sing along with robbie whilst working in the kitchen especially.

the item i got was perfect in every way from p+p to the item it.s self thank you very much ,AAAAA++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++=

As a huge Robbie fan how could i not have this cd in my collection?and a bargain on e-bay ****************************************************************************************************************************************************************

needed this cd to complete my collection. just love it sit back and enjoy . i do like this type of music and i think robbie sings them all very well.

hi sorry i did not leave feedback i thought i did,just noticed it now, im very happy with cd ive been after it for ages its excellent it came very quick too very good service thankyou.

5O'S Rat pack music at it's best... Apart from Angles this is the only thing 'Mr feel sorry for me and my ego' has done that is any good. Robbie does Karaoke, well!

Though up til now I have never been a great fan of Robbie Williams I did like Something Stupid he sang with Nicole Kidman and have always been partial to a bit of Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin I thought I'd buy the album as it came along at the right time and right price just to see what the fuss was about. I have got to say WOW, this album has opened my eyes to just how versatile Robbie can be singing both solo and duetting with some top names. Best song for me has to be Me and My Shadow as Robbie and Johnny wilkes are just having so much fun singing it. All in all a very emotive album.

rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrreally goodddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddd

Having bought this cd when it first came out, and then lost the disc keeping just an empty case, great delight in purchasing a replacement on ebay.

For people that are not lovers of Robbie Williams, this is far from his usual stuff, mellow easy listening classics. Not just Robbie on his own, but some classic duets including Nicole Kidman, Jane Horrocks to name but a few.

It is just the sort of music to listen to,to lift your mood etc, in fact I am listening to the cd whilst writing this review.

Not wanting to be corny, but I cant find any bad points with this cd, sorry.

For anybody who listens to this cd, or purchases one from reading this review, I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

As one of my first encounters with Frank Sinatra and his style of music, I was really impressed! This CD is further proof of the versatility of Robbie Williams as a musician and is simply amazing!

I have listened to this music on many different occasions and find that it is ideal for everything from relaxing to working. It is fab music that I would highly recommend to anyone that loves jazz and pop,(I found it works as a kind of combination between the two personally), or someone that just fancies trying something light hearted. Give it a go if you haven't already - you won't be disappointed!

Nice easy music to have in the car. Keeps you awake without getting on your nerves. Not quite as good as Frank or Sammy.

I love Robbie with all my heart!!It makes me cry when people call him the fat dancer from Take That as he is soooo much more!!Robbie please be mine?????

Well this just falls between two stools doesn't it.
Robbie is a very good singer, grossly over rated by a hype machine desperate to drag cash out of an ever more download happy public, but good nonetheless.

But a match for Sinatra, Dean Martin, or Sammy Davies Jnr. he is not.
Robbie just does everything quite well, but if you really love swing I suggest you go back a generation or two for the real quality stuff.

5 out of 5 indeed! Pah!

This is the business, if you enjoy big band swing, this is it. Excellent album, this is my kind of music. Robbie Williams surprised me with his versatility, more of this please.

This is a great album! Robbie has the perfect voice for this kind of work and effortlessly entertains.
A great album.
If you like swing, you won't be dissapointed.

i like this item as i am an avid robbie williams fan & also like swing music so what better cd to have, both altogether.

i bought this off ebay as i lost my own copy
