Frank Sinatra - Granada 1966

Frank Sinatra - Granada 1966
Original by Agustín Lara 1932
Granada, I'm falling under your spell
And if you could speak, what a fascinating tale you would tell
Of an age the world has long forgotten
Of an age that weaves a silent magic in Granada today
The dawn in the sky greets the day with a sigh for Granada
For she can remember the splendor that once was Granada
It still can be found in the hills all around as I wander along
Entranced by the beauty before me
Entranced by a land full of sunshine and song
And when day is done and the sun touch the set in Granada
I envy the blush of the snow-clad Sierra Nevada
Soon it will welcome the stars
While a thousand guitars play a soft habaniera
Then moonlight Granada will live again
The glory of yesterday, romantic and Granada

Every operatic tenor of the day sang Granada in operatic style. While enjoying the melody, it was up to which tenor you preferred. But then along came Frank Sinatra with a Billy May arrangement and an up-beat tempo, and wow! Granada was born again.
For what is the most sensational orchestral arrangement, select James Last, Hermoso: Granada Medley, Miami. It's a great Video.

What a toe tapper. Nelson Riddle in the background conducting Billy May's genius arrangement

[@franksanz1044]

His style and swag was out of this world.

history continues to affirm he was the greatest pop singer to have ever lived......................

a qué otra ciudad le cantó frank sinatra?

[@elpescadordesandalias1599]

Seguro que al escuchar ésto, no le dejaron cantar a ninguna otra ciudad, porque no se puede hacer peor.

[@jaumepujol3404]

joder , que version

[@user-eo9ie7zn9p]

Frank does my hula hoop dance😂 I am in the audience as a toddler, standing up in a chair and my mother yelled at me. I can't see Frank Sinatra. Joanie Noëldechen.😮🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤ JMN WGNJMNFAS ah...yeah...Lanza and Arnez.

[@irmapadilla6542]

Tendría una gran voz, pero a Granada le dio en la madre, que bárbaro! Tan hermosa canción le cambio la letra, que absurdo

[@GabrielSCCPofficial]

just imagine this music really slowed down like hell sirens it would be really scary the sirens part

[@miguelmoralesz]

Granada en versión gringa. No me gustó, prefiero las versiones clásicas. La de Joselito, me fascina, con tan corta edad derrocha arte y sentimiento.

[@elainepalumbo9837]

Didn’t like him as person but what a singer

[@allanshulstad1783]

Did he do the song as comedy?

[@michellekatz1023]

Lol. He did it corny.

[@saintcruzin]

He had fun with it...Great upbeat arrangement too..

[@truesurrealist]

I'm not sure how I feel. But you have to admire when musicians do something a bit wild. It's fun 😊 like when Gwen Stefani did the rap part on a No Doubt song that was a real rapper's part.

Did you write this comment as comedy?

The best way to spoil a song

[@LeadedPetrolCars]

Rispetto alla versione di Claudio Villa, questa è penosa

[@LeadedPetrolCars]

Lo so ho fatto un paragone che non si può fare, perché sono due cantanti appartenenti a due generi musicali completamente differenti.

[@franbestguitrplayerinthewo5027]
