Review

America, I Hear You Singing is a minor entry in Frank Sinatra's catalog. Recorded with Bing Crosby and Fred Waring's glee club, the record is a collection of patriotic songs that were recorded as a tribute to the assassinated president John F. Kennedy. Although the sentiment is respectable, the album isn't an engaging, suffering from hackneyed arrangements and dull songs. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, Rovi
