@@higgsmerino3925 True. But didn't they perform at least once, together? As far as I remember I stumbled upon a clip of a TV show a long while ago. They respected each other, that's for sure.
And think about how many songs the beatles wrote with the word love always poping up every 4 bars. ( i LOVE them all) But george wrote this compelling song without using the word. God bless all the boys and sinatra.
@@williamdonnelly895 What do you mean dont believe it. There are videos of it. One featured in the documentary "the story of something". I just cant find it online.
Michael Jackson told the BBC that he thought it was One of Lennon and McCartney's greatest ever songs until George - who just happened to be sat on the same record reviewing panel - corrected him. Jackson was really surprised!
There need not be any reference to someone named “Jack’ in the song that should only be performed in it’s original form…by George Harrison! Frank gave it no heart/soul. Wrong style whoever arranged it.
@@carlajacobs2464 There's nothing wrong with adding somethin' new or different to a cover - it adds its own flare that sets it apart from the original. Can Frank Sinatra top or replicate George Harrison's original arrangment and the Beatle's vocal harmonies? Of course not, but Sinatra still gave it a go, and I think it's quite endearing that he adds, "Jack", as it fits his style. Also, he seems quite older here so I don't think his voice would be able to give the EXACT soul and oomph he'd probably would've, if he was younger.
Not the arrangement I usually favor but it's great that he gives so much credit to George. How many shows and loves songs did Sinatra come across and this is how he feels about it. Very cool...
I find it funny at the beginning when Frank’s introducing the track and drops George Harrison’s name, you can only hear a handful of claps. I imagine most people in that hall in their heads saying, “We made a night out of seeing the Chairman of the Board, Ol’ Blue Eyes. Why is he playing this hippy shit?” And after the song’s over the entire place erupts into applause, because of course good music crosses cultural boundaries, something Frank obviously knew very well. I hope they learned that from Frank that night.
there is version from some years earlier with BBC - it's better, not so much hammed up. Still can't touch the original and that is saying something, coming from me, a Sinatra fan.
Frank Sinatra I believe to be similar to Jimi Hendrix in that they both use the fascination of their technology in their performances. Sinatra experimented with the microphone and Jimi with his guitar, they are masterful technitions of sound and derserve to last forever.
Some people might find a little odd your statement but get it perfectly. Sinatra wasn’t just a singer. His technicality in the recorded voice is a standard for a lot of today’s singers. Perhaps he didn’t have 4 octaves of range like Freddie Mercury, or the theatricality of Elvis, but he was a voice virtuoso, from the breath control to the resonance of his timber. He didn’t just grabbed a random mic and started singing. He revolutionized the recorded voice methods, searching always for the best sound fidelity, investing in the best recording studios to reproduce his voice on vinyl, and always with the best instrumental arrangers.
Franks performance with this song to me and the arrangement is without question the best song I've ever seen and heard,i am a Beatles fan a David Bowie huge fan.....but this is top quality by anybodys standard.love it love it love it.
Only Sinatra and Elvis Presley managed to put their signatures on this song without taking away its original shine! Only the big ones can play the equally big ones💪💪💪💪!!!!
Impressionante como as canções cantadas por Sinatra faz com que a nossa mente viaje juntamente com a melodia entoadas por ele, os músicos também são excepcionais! 😌
You see, this is why The Beatles are the greatest band of all time. Lennon, McCartney and also GEORGE! They all wrote incredible songs, composed them and sung them! Not many other bands can say the same! Beatles in a different league. This song, to be sung by Sinatra, and for him to rank it so highly speaks volumes. Superb.
omfg......WHAT A MASTERFUL PERFORMANCE......I LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS GUY.....He was really really a great Human Being too, it ...his life, was reflected in his singing...you can feel it...
He was right of course - it has to be right up there and Frank would know - he must have sang a thousand songs during his long career. I think it says a lot about the man that he would pay such a generous compliment towards the end of his career.
Exceptionally, a wonderful song and sumptuous interpretation of one of the greatest singers and performers of all time ... Frank Sinatra the legendary in voice, singular interpretation, born talent and incomparable performance and phenomenal charisma ... Great artist, beautiful soul and a handsome man ... A masterful composition by George Harrisson "Something" of Sinatra grandiose presentation and beautiful execution ... Wow ..! Bravo ...!!!
A signature twist to a classic song. I never knew he covered George's song. This is fresh to my ears. ❤ I did a cover of Something as well. Im no George or Sinatra - not even close - but hope someone here enjoys it! ❤
"The best love song but it doesnt even say I love you!!" Iconic acknoledgment. Frank s version is so classy. It made me dream of having a nice dinner on the top of a fabulous building in NYC with the love of my life. So romantic on a summer starry night.
In my opinion ,Frank did the best cover of Something 👍 Despite some claims that the Beatles and Sinatra didn't get along ,gradually they warmed to one another. Ringo asked Frank to record a song for his wife in 1968 because she was a big fan. It was a change in lyrics to The Lady is A Tramp , to Champ and referenced Ringo in lyrics as well. It is considered the rarest recording of all time
My Mom just passed away 6 days ago. My DD 33 yrs ago and Sinatra was his guy. This is the one song DD would not dance with other than Mom. I can still hear my Dad singing this to Mom. Sinatra paid George Harrison a great compliment about this song. I was lucky to see Sinatra in concert with my parents. One of the most emotional experiences I have had. All I can think of is Mom and Dad are dancing to this now. I have to believe it. This version will forever hold a special place in my heart😢❤
When Sinatra and Elvis cover you, you really were "Something".
Considering Sinatra and Elvis never wrote one song between them!
Very good one!
@@higgsmerino3925 True. But didn't they perform at least once, together? As far as I remember I stumbled upon a clip of a TV show a long while ago. They respected each other, that's for sure.
Beatles way bigger and talented than then
Neither did a cover of any songs by Lennon. I guess I Am The Walrus would not have been easy.
Sinatra called “Something” "the greatest love song of the past 50 years."
And it never says "I love you"...great song indeed.
He said one of the best of the last 50 or 100
And now it's 140+ years of being the best love song of all time (and still counting)
Most people here are not deaf.
No one could have said it better.
This is one of my favorites because it is so true,it hits home.
People talk about john and paul, but george was just as important man
George was the most special one, his soul talks through his music
He was the quiet Beatle
@@marcelogutierrez6489 People don't usually consider me as quiet but still I'm much quieter than George.
George was quiet Knight. ❤
Everybody loves George. The most soulful beatle.
Compliments to George Harrison. Best love song written in the past 50-100 years.
ever*
Absolutely 💓
And think about how many songs the beatles wrote with the word love always poping up every 4 bars. ( i LOVE them all) But george wrote this compelling song without using the word. God bless all the boys and sinatra.

@@nathanwhite562 what about the line "youre asking me will my love grow'?
The first time Sinatra ever performed this song, he credited this to Lennon and Mc Cartney. I guess people corrected him later on.

Don't believe that, pal... 😳
@@williamdonnelly895 What do you mean dont believe it. There are videos of it. One featured in the documentary "the story of something". I just cant find it online.
A good indication of the close attention Sinatra gave to the text of any song he ever sang: he noticed this love song never says “I love you.”
Sinatra turned the great song into legend
@@sevtaptincer8194 it didn’t need sinatra for that reputation
You mean he learned the lyrics and they don't include that? Amazing.
It never says "I'm sorry" either... The best source for any melodrama script but how many buys?
yes, gold star for Frankie🤭
What an amazing and well deserved compliment for George.

Never happened
@@thaterasound Christ, get over it.
McCartney was too dumb to up his bid.
Big Daz Never happened
@@thaterasound Truth is Paul had plenty of opportunities to buy those songs but he missed his opportunity.
Big Daz it did happen, it’s literally on UA-cam idiot
George Harrison was a fantastic songwriter and artist! Beautiful rendition.
this is like the perfect stereotypical Sinatra interpretation of any song...'you stick around jack'...lol...
There need not be any reference to someone named “Jack’ in the song that should only be performed in it’s original form…by George Harrison! Frank gave it no heart/soul. Wrong style whoever arranged it.

Beautiful song nice coments
I love The Beatles and I love Sinatra. Best cover of this beautiful song
Only George's cover will always be the best version!
Frank's version stands on own. Give it a fresh spin that is different to Goerge's dreamy version
What about Elvis Presley?
@@filmsandshows8 If you mean 'Presley' then yes, he could cover something too.
It is a wonderful version but Shirley Bassey's cover is my favourite
Probably the best cover of any song i've ever heard. frank was the man and george was MY favorite beatle. beautiful song!
You stick around Jack ?? That ruined it FOOOO
Sinatra is right, it is a winner and his version is a beauty. GH is so gifted it is as if God himself helps him with the magic he brings.
Que pena não termos mais caras como George Harrison, Elvis Presley, Frank Sinatra e Beatles, realmente o mundo está cada vez mais pobre, triste🙁.
"Não há nada que possamos fazer"
"The best love song of the last 50 years". Something of a good ear this boy had, I believe him :)
You left out "One of " at the beginning of the quote.
4:16 I can imagine him saying "I'm just gonna humm this part"
What a fantastic interpretation of a great song.
George liked so much how Frank added "Jack" to the "You stick around.." line that he kept it in when he sang this song live.
I find it funny at the beginning when Frank’s introducing the track and drops George Harrison’s name, you can only hear a handful of claps.

The old fogies didn't know who he was talking about 😊
One of the greatest Love songs, ever written. Beautifully sung by Mr Sinatra.
Imagine if the 1950's sinatra cover this song....
Time Traveler Sinatra😳😳
Oh god that would have been another masterpiece. George would have loved it too.
@JustDr3f Great interpreter you mean. No stealing, all the royalties go to the Harrison estate.
he would be like “guess you guys aren't ready for that yet but your kids gonna love it” lol
there is version from some years earlier with BBC - it's better, not so much hammed up. Still can't touch the original and that is saying something, coming from me, a Sinatra fan.
Written by a member of the greatest band, and now I heard it sang by two of the greatest performers Elvis and Sinatra. Amazing.
Over 150 covers including from Ray Charles, Smoky Robinson, James Brown.
Elvis did it better, as usual
My dad's favorite song and singer.He passed away 1 and a half years ago.I miss him immensly.
Sinatra transcends generations. Long after all the current bands and rappers are gone, Sinatra will still live on.
the best singer ever singing a song by the best band ever. beautiful

Damn this rendition is beyond awesome! It's like he is just sharing his life to you through this song. Few artists can do this.
Even Frankie, knew how great George's song is. Game recognize Game.

Frank sings the song like he owns it. High respect for George
"You Stick Around-Jack" music to any woman's ears.
My mom agrees, no joke.
Greatness recognizes greatness.
It's 'The Quiet Beatle' who wrote this f**king beautiful song...you better believe it ❤️❤️❤️
If Frank said something you better believe it
Great performance Great song.
just try to sing along with this
that will teach you exactly why his timing and phrasing is surreal
omfg......WHAT A MASTERFUL PERFORMANCE......I LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS GUY.....He was really really a great Human Being too, it ...his life, was reflected in his singing...you can feel it...
You stick around Jack! 😄
George added that Jack sometimes, too. It's on the Live in Japan version.
closeupman might be because of the song ‘hit the road jack’
they’re joking saying stick around
that’s just a guess though
Love it though ❤️
The lyrics of this song are beautiful.
Harrison was amazing.
One of sinatras fav songs
I have been looking for this version so long! Thanks a lot for sharing! ❤
Enjoy!
Yes enjoy and glad you found it.
Genius interpretation and performance....
Love the added lyrics!
Jack!!😂😂😂
great version i agree with frank. my first song i learned on the ukulele. fave Beatles song.
Ukulele doesn’t count
Got goosebumps listening. There will never be his like again.
He was right of course - it has to be right up there and Frank would know - he must have sang a thousand songs during his long career. I think it says a lot about the man that he would pay such a generous compliment towards the end of his career.
The quiet one ?? The deep one !!
great great great great GREAT version
When master sing a greatest song of goerge harrison....its like tree on savana....
People just looking tree not the sand....

OMG!!!!! WHAT a great performance of this GREAT song of George HARRISON!!!!!!!👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Parabéns George, maravilhosa interpretação de Frank Sinatra.
Love the “you stick around, Jack.”
I often wonder if he improvises these things on the spot or whether he plans to change the lyric beforehand
My TWO FAVSS!! Sinatra AND The Beatles! Perfect together!! Frank SINGS a sing like a TRUE artist...hardly anyone does that now!

Marvelous song, marvelous voice, Frank Sinatra the best jazz singer in history
He's not really a jazz singer. Sometimes yes, but not always
I love Frank’s lyrical additions. He made it theatre.
Frank gives it the William Shatner treatment.
Attracts me like a pomegranate
Frank Sinatra, said the final version of Something was the greatest love song in 50 to 100 years at the time, did a cover in his performances.
One of the best songs ever, RIP George Harrison
Beautiful vocal sound of frank sinatra and beautiful composition of george harrison
What a great singer you are Sinatra.
And still is the greatest love song in 2020
Watching it again and the smile on Frank's face at the end, it's like I told you so....wow
Isso é maravilhoso... Amooooo
There was only one “Chairman of the Board!” George Harrison was a very underrated Beatle! What a talent he was!
This is so beautiful it actually made me cry
This concert was in the Dominican Republic on August 20, 1982 for the inauguration of Altos de Chavon. im dominican
When a legend covers a LEGEND! Oh my GOD!

I did a cover of Something as well. Im no George or Sinatra - not even close - but hope someone here enjoys it! ❤
The Conductor definitely earned his money conducting a Sinatra show.
There is a certain power in this rendition that only Frank attains and s certain magic in the song that only George Harrison could fashion
Lindo!! Maestro ⭐🌹❤️🇺🇸

I never knew that I will need this to survive until I listened to his version
Like a Gangster singing a love song.
greatest love song of all time !!!

The biggest of all, "the voice" 🎤🎼🎵
