'''''Sing and Dance with Frank Sinatra''''' is the sixth studio album by [[Frank Sinatra]]. The tracks were arranged and conducted by [[George Siravo]] and his orchestra (except for track four, which was conducted by [[Hugo Winterhalter]]). Original Columbia 10-inch 33 1/3-rpm LP and 78-rpm album set released October 16, 1950; the 7-inch 45-rpm EP and EP box sets were released in October 1952. (See [[Gramophone record]] for an explanation of these formats.)

It would prove to be the final album that Sinatra released under the [[Columbia Records|Columbia]] label, another three years before he would start recording for [[Capitol Records|Capitol]] and another year after that before his next album, entitled ''[[Songs for Young Lovers]]'', would be released in 1954.  Six of the eight songs on this LP would be remade for one of his contractual obligation albums to Capitol, ''[[Sinatra's Swingin' Session!!!]]''.

For its compact disc reissue in 1996, alternate versions of six songs&nbsp;– including "I've Got a Crush on You" and "All of Me"&nbsp;– are included. The extra songs in this compilation, titled slightly differently as '''''Swing and Dance with Frank Sinatra''''', were recorded between 1944 and 1951.
