    "FLY ME TO THE MOON" is required listening from Old Blue Eyes (aka Frank). Frank played the character Sky Masterson in the movie version of Guys & Dolls which is a well known Broadway musical. That song is part of that show. Pretty much every High School and Community Theater Company has done Guys & Dolls at some time.

    What made Don Rickles famous was that Don was performing in an early Las Vegas. Frank, heavily rumored to be part of organized crime, along with his entourage, walked into the room. Not missing a beat, Don said "Hey Frank, make yourself at home, hit someone!!"
    The audience, in terror, looked at Frank, who laughed. Don became famous.

    It's a play on the old phrase, "May Lady Luck smile on you." He's asking "Lady Luck" to act like a lady and stay by his side for the entire evening.
    If you like this type of Sinatra, there's a more obscure tune that you might really like: "Nice and Easy." Very cool tune.
    Enjoy!

      In fact, now that I think about it, Nice and Easy is so ubiquitous - especially to Millennials - there's simply no need for anyone to "react" to it because everyone's already heard it before.

      I was just about to recommend the same thing. In addition to all the crooners, songs, and comedy, I love the "time capsule" element of seeing Bing Crosby's meta-dialogue where he talks to Frank Sinatra like Frank and the Rat Pack are the young punks who are playing fast and loose with the style while Frank talks to Bing like Bing's the old school, old style guy out of touch with the kids. It's a fun reminder that, all older music and older styles - no matter how old-fashioned and quaint they might seem in any given "modern times" - were once "the crazy thing the kids are doing" that alarms older generations.

    Frank and another of your favorites, Bing Crosby, were in the film High Society together. That's where Bing and Louis Armstrong sang That's Jazz, which you loved. Frank and Bing do a great, funny number called "Well, did you eval", you should check that out. Also Frank and Celeste Holm from the same film doing "Who wants to be a Millionaire" another fun song.

    Sinatra was near the peak of his powers when this was recorded. As such, he could afford the best in arrangers, orchestras, and musicians. Here it is Nelson Riddle, an absolute legend in the jazz and popular music business as an arranger and orchestrator. Sinatra would also even specify individual musicians that he wanted in the band. For example, Alvin Stoller on drums and the Candoli brothers in the trumpet section.
    Check out a sampling of Sinatra's earlier recordings, too. His recording of Poinicana from 1947, from his Columbia Records years, with the orchestra conducted by Axel Stordahl, for example, is a seldom-noticed gem of a recording from Sinatra's earlier years.
    As for Nancy Sinatra, check out her recording of "This Town," her best recording, in my opinion.

    Jay and Amber, I know that with baby Luka and the rest of the fam, you don’t have time to listen to a whole album, but write this one down somewhere you won’t forget - “Sinatra At The Sands”. It’s Frank at his very best. It’s a whole show, start to finish, complete with two monologues by Frank, not to mention the Count Basie Orchestra conducted by Quincy Jones. It’s simply incredible, and you REALLY get a feel for whole Vegas lounge scene. And I love your shirt, Amber! It’s so great seeing someone in a Dead shirt jamming to Sinatra! Two absolute iconic originals!

    You guys REALLY need to listen (even if you don't do a "reaction") to Frank singing, "It Was a Very Good Year". It's a beautiful song about a man's memories of youth - but it evokes a feeling we all recognize once we've achieved a certain age (don't worry; you're both sensitive, intelligent souls - you'll relate even at your young age). it will make you feel a bit nostalgic, even about a past that wasn't yours!.

He's asking luck to stay with him, and stay committed to him while he gambles. If you watch the musical this is from, Guy's and Dolls, you will get the point of this song. Great movie, along with Robin and the Seven Hoods that showcases Frank and others from the era/ rat pack.

    Frank Sinatra acted in numerous films, plays...& of course his concerts! He was one heck of a performer! The Tender Trap with Debbie Reynolds is a comedy you might like! Guys & Dolls is a musical with Marlon Brando! It's a classic! He was just...part that era where we had so many well rounded performers! Him & Sammy Davis Jr were really good friends. There was an incident when they were suppose to perform together at a hotel where they were supposed to stay at....they said Sammy couldn't stay there! Frank told them if Sammy couldn't stay... he wouldn't stay or perform there! They quickly backed down! He never tolerated that stuff!

    If you've seen The Godfather, Johnny Fontaine - the singer - was Frank Sinatra. The horse head is what got Frank the role in the movie From Here to Eternity.

    • @beckygrant2258
      @beckygrant2258 2 роки тому

      No. Not true. Johnny Fontaine was played by Al Martinez. He was cast as a Frank Sinatra-type. The horse head incident did not happen in real life. It was a film based on Mario Puzo’s novel, The Godfather, which was a bestseller at the time. The horse head incident was in the book. The character in the book was based on an Italian singer who is connected to crime families, like Frank Sinatra kind of was. His family wasn’t directly connected, but he was from New Jersey and those clubs that he started in were often mob-owned…so he had some connections. When the mob created Las Vegas strip casinos, they had difficulty getting people to come out there. They hired Frank and gave him 10% ownership in one of the Casinos, asking him to get his friends to come out and perform at the casinos. And he did. He helped build Las Vegas.

    Frank Sinatra wanted to play the part that Marlon Brando had in Guys and Dolls where he sung Luck Be A Lady. Listen to that version and you'll know how much the song was not great until Sinatra sang it later on with an orchestration based on his direction. They missed out on his singing it in the movie.

    One of Frank Sinatra's favorite style tunes to sing he referred to as "saloon songs". Usually the setting is a simple piano accompaniment and the subject matter along the lines of "the girl that got away". I had the privilege of seeing him perform live in the 80's and the saloon song you MUST hear is "One For My Baby (And One More For The Road)". You want a "vibe" - you got a whole picture painted with this song. Also, some people claim that the Beatles' "Sgt. Pepper" album was the first concept album - one in which all the songs are related to each other - however, Sinatra did a series of concept albums when he was on the Capitol Records label long before. A "must hear" album is "Frank Sinatra Sings For Only The Lonely". Other incredible Capitol albums are: In The Wee Small Hours, Where Are You, No One Cares, and Close To You. Enjoy.

    So Frank was the biggest headliner in Las Vegas. When the Las Vegas strip was very new, they had a hard time getting people to travel there to gamble. One casino offered Frank a percentage of the profits if he would get his Hollywood pals to come and perform. Which he did! He helped build Las Vegas! Las Vegas sprang up after Castro took over Cuba (which was the adult playground prior to Vegas). In those first decades, the casinos were run by Italian mob. Frank is Italian and knew these guys from his days in New Jersey, growing up. This was a huge hit for Frank and he sang this song everywhere at his concerts.

    Frank won an Oscar for his role in "From Here to Eternity" and was in plenty of other films. In the movie, "The Godfather," the character of Johnny Fontaine was presumably based on him--since he took great offense when the book came out about that character's ties to the mob and the similarities to Frank's career.

    Frank’s style changed over the years. This was the swinging Frank. Frank was the coolest cat with the golden voice. Lots of nicknames: Ole Blue Eyes, the Chairman of the Board, the Voice. He had a golden voice. One of the Kennedy’s were once asked “What is it about this guy?” The answer? “Women want to f**k him, they want to mother him, but you never want to cross him. He loved to entertain, all night long after a performance. He was extremely generous with his money: charities, the help, whoever was waiting on people, wherever he was. Children’s charities. But he had a bad temper if he snapped. He used to admit he had a 24 carat manic depression problem. Everyone knew it. He commanded respect wherever he went….they called him Mr. Sinatra. Only his closets pals called him Frank.

    One of my most magical Las Vegas memories featured "Luck Be a Lady"...I left the brewpub at the Monte Carlo, late evening in June (the hot season, so it wasn't too crowded), walked past the fountains at the Bellagio and they played this song. I just stood there by myself and took in the moment. I don't really care for gambling; but moments like that, and shows like Blue Man Group and Cirque, leave me having a love/hate relationship with Vegas.
