    Here's my Frank Sinatra story. When I was 19years old, I was in Las Vegas for my grandfathers 80th birthday. It was a boys only trip, his sons and grandsons. Since I wasn't old enough for the casino's, i wandered around for a while, then headed up to the hotel room. As the elevator arrived, Sinatra and his body guards walked up and got on. Body guards stopped me and told me wait for the next elevator. At this point Sinatra said, it's ok let him on. I then told him i was named after him, as my mom was a big fan. I was also born in the same hospital he was born in, in Hoboken NJ. My mom was a bit upset because i waited until after midnight, Dec 13th to be born, because Sinatra's BD is Dec 12th. He laughed and when the elevator stopped at my floor, he held it there to continue talking for a few mins.He asked what I was doing in Vegas, so i told him about my granddads 80th, and how my dad and uncles tried to get him tickets for Sinatra's show, but it was sold out all the nights we would be there. About an hour later, a knock on my hotel room door, and Sinatra's bodyguard handed me 4 tickets to that nights show. The really amazing part was when he walked into the audience, right up to my grandpa, who was an Italian immigrant , and sang happy birthday to him in Italian. Needless to say, i became the favorite grandson after that. Thank you Mr. Sinatra.

    What a lot of people don't know about this song is that it's the theme song of a 1977 Scorsese film of the same name, starring Robert De Niro and Liza Minelli. One other thing... are you guys ever going to do Tony Bennett? I think he's one of the few crooners you have yet to react to - and one of the few that's still alive! (He's 96.) I'd love for you to react to "I Left My Heart in San Francisco". I'd also love to hear you do "Release Me" by Englebert Humperdinck.

    Have you read anything, or seen any documentaries about Frank Sinatra? He had perfect pitch and a perfect ear. It’s a blessing and a curse. He could hear one wrong note within an orchestra. He was known for stopping abruptly and calling out the specific person who had hit a wrong note. I can’t imagine what it must have been like for Mr. Sinatra, nor for the musicians.

    Your crooner experience is not complete until you react to Frank's favourite singer, Tony Bennett. A master interpreter of the American Songbook. His most famous hit is I Left My Heart in San Francisco. But equally great hits include : Fly Me to the Moon, my personal favourite - Shadow of Your Smile, a great cover of Hank Williams Cold Cold Heart, The Good Life and Smile, to name but a few.

    That ain't crooning! How come you've never heard this one before?
    Sinatra was one of the greatest singers of the 20th century. He worked very hard at his art, and wanted it to appear easy. He learned how to breathe in while he was still singing, a technique called circular breathing that he learned from the trumpter Harry James. His phrasing, the innovatory way he sustained his notes... the way he came back from career failure by winning an Oscar for a non-singing role, the way he invented the themed album...

Originally, this song was used in the 1977 movie, New York, New York. The great Liza Minelli sang this in the movie. But Frank Sinatra's version was the bigger hit. A great classic song indeed!!!

    Growing up in the late 50’s, through the 60’s, 70’s, 80’s….no better solo singer than Frank Sinatra. I didn’t appreciate him until I was older because I grew up in the era of rock and roll. Frank changed his style of music over the years. One reason why he is so good is because he mastered breath control from a young age when he took voice lessons when he first got to New York City in the 40’s. It gave him awesome abilities in phrasing. He can make you “feel” the music. Some of his ballads will bring tears to your eyes….In the Wee Small Hours of the Morning…a song about how lonely he is without the woman he loves. No one can do lonely like Frank! Or a later song called It Was a Very Good Year…as he goes through momentous times of his life and how it made him feel. He paints grand pictures of whatever he’s singing. In the 60’s, his style changed to lots of brass horns and punchy accents. He arranged these songs with band leaders that he hand picked. Super talented singer, actor…and Gene Kelly (one of the best singer/dancer/actors) taught him to dance, too!

Eight months afterward I went out with my two sisters and a few friends to celebrate my birthday. We were at a laid back club and I excused myself to use the men’s room. As I walked in I heard Mr Sinatra singing My Way. I knew my dad was there wishing me a happy birthday. It warms my heart to know that his legacy has been successfully carried onto the next generation of music lovers. God bless.

    One of Frank's most iconic songs, one great boost to New York. The orchestral accompaniments with the great crooner voice of Frank equals perfection. Love this song. Please keep up with Frank songs. He also has beautiful Christmas
    Songs. Glad you love Frank too. 👍👍😊😊🤗🤗 Buckets of Maple Syrup love from Canada ❤️❤️ 🇨🇦 🇨🇦

    Back in the late 50s I was an aspiring crooner, trying to get a stage show in Vegas. One night I was jumped by 5 guys, they beat the hell out of me and told me to leave Vegas and never come back. I finally agreed to their demands, but they kept beating on me until suddenly Frank Sinatra walked by and he stopped and said to them "that's enough", then they all stopped beating on me and left.

    The ONLY other version that rivals this is Liza Minnelli's rendition, and someday you're gonna have to check her out for Female Friday at least! I don't think you've touched on the women crooners and Broadway belters, she's kind of in the same vein as Barbra Streisand I guess. But Miss Liza with a Z has always been a fave of mine. I hope you give her rendition of this song a listen! Would be great if you saw a live version too; you want a show, she REALLY puts on a show!

    For a great young Frank performance, you and your budding theater artiste daughter will enjoy On The Town. He is a sailor on leave in NY with his buddies looking for girls. He sings and dances with Gene Kelly who is one of the greatest dancers on film of all time. Gene Kelly was an inspiration to Michael Jackson and the reason MJ wore high hems on his pants, white socks, and loafers. Gene did it so you could see all his moves. Can't recommend it enough.

One year he had a Christmas show with Frank and his family and Dean and his family as the only people performing. I think you guys would enjoy it. 3.

    In 1982, the Bradley Braves of Peoria, Illinois defeated American University in the NIT Tournament. They knew their next two games would be played in Madison Square Garden and so, after the win at home, this song was cued up on the sound system at Robertson Field House. The crowd erupted. I was at that game and the raw emotion of knowing that our hometown boys were going to the Big Apple was maximized by this classic by Sinatra. Every time I hear it, I'm taken back to that night in Spring, 1982 when the improbable became probable. The Braves won the tournament and their fame is cemented forever with this song.

Fly Me to the Moon, The Way you Look Tonight and I've Got You Under My Skin are all classics and worth a listen. He also sang a lesser played song called Cycles, which really showcases the way he makes a song is on and is bound to move you emotionally. It's a perfect example that sets him apart from all others.

    Frank said in a 1965 CBS interview he considered himself and Bing Crosby more as singers than classic crooners like Russ Columbo and Rudy Vallee who’s voices were “smaller and softer.” He sings or croons exceptionally well either way.
    At some point you may want to give Ray Price a listen, he has been described as country’s Frank Sinatra much of his work, especially after 1970, fits in that genre. For the Good Times or Night Life are probably most popular but there are many others. He does a fantastic version of Danny Boy both the 1967 and later version. Originally he was one the best honky tonk artists from the 50’s and 60’s, very versatile.

    This song was actually recorded and released in the late '70s. It was his last big hit single, and came well over a decade after he was really on top. But I believe this song is played at every NY Yankees home game, and is played at just about every local New York City event. It's become the theme of the town. Next reaction you do of Frank, you really should try to find a live performance. His presence was just amazing. May I recommend "It Was A Very Good Year." The video is of him in the studio recording the song is truly amazing. You see him rehearse a few lines, and then, when they hit RECORD on the tape machine, he records it perfectly...IN ONE TAKE. This was one of his very best songs and is a reflection on one's life as the end nears. Although he was still decades away from his end when he recorded it in 1965.

Later on in the evening, my dad bought tickets to see Frank Sinatra. I was holding onto his winnings when the usher led us to the seats halfway from the stage. My dad asked for 500, but I gave him 200 instead. The usher took us closer, but still it was not good enough. I gave my dad 300 and the usher took us all the way down to the third row. My dad saw all these people sitting at these long tables right in front of the stage. "I want to sit down there!" he said. I slipped my dad $500 more and the next thing we know, a bunch of people brought a table and chairs. Here we were less than 15 feet from the stage! What an experience! I've been to many concerts in my life, but that was the greatest experience I ever had!
