I was in the studio that night. I had been touring with Frank as his opening act for just a little over a year at that time. I toured with him for almost 14 years and was a pall bearer at his funeral and spoke at his funeral. I witnessed so many great moments and spent so many nights with him staying up till dawn. This night was so special because all my life I had heard his recordings and now I was watching him make a recording. Ahh it was a joy to behold.
Thanks Peter. I'm still doing the show around the country. "The Man Who Made Sinatra Laugh" It's a lot of fun with stand up comedy of course and a lot of stories and photos and videos to authenticate the stories.@@peterflorino9692
Tom, that must have been the gift of a lifetime. Beyond spending so many years touring with him, there are years of wisdom, heartache, and love in how he sang that song that night. And the song itself is a gift of my favorites, Legrand, the Bergmans, and then Quincy and so many others. What a night that must have been. Thank you for sharing your memories.
Im 82 now. As a teenager, my mom had a portable 45 player. She stacked it with Frank's records. I heard those songs almost every day, never paid any attention to them. Then one day, I'm alone in my room with the radio on. No idea why, but a song got my attention. I started to hear the words and Frank's voice strarted to resonate deep into me. I listened closely to it and then when i heard the ending I forever appreciatged Sinatra . Song was "Guess I'll hang my tears out to dry". Lyrics said that this guy lost his girl, couldn't get over her, until a friend told him to "just forget about her". Then he sings, "so i gave that treatment a try. Strangly enough i got along without her, then one day she passed me right by, oh well, I guess I'll hang my tears out to dry". His sad voice, the music, timing, arrangement got me. I thought to myself that someday I want to meet a girl that could make me feel that deeply in love. It took another 20 years but I finally met her.
Frank’s the only singer who ever lived that could make you feel the lyrics from your soul. Every ballad he sang of lost love he made me feel the emotions and pain of the words. My kids would ask me why do I allow myself to tear up listening. Why listen if it makes you so sad? My answer was, it’s not the sadness I’m reacting to as much as it’s the feelings that touch me deep inside when I listen. The beauty of the orchestration, timing, production, it goes on.
I’ve loved Frank for most of my life. Growing up hearing my mom play him on the stereo in the 60s gave me a great appreciation in music. His music spoke to me on many levels. In my teens my peers did not understand and I was made fun of for my passion in the music that touched me so emotionally. His music kept me grounded and probably alive as he had a song for life experiences. I was so lucky to see him live three times. It was spiritual ❤️. I miss him. I’ve found many great ones to listen to these days but the depth of Sinatra’s emotional experience in a song I have yet to hear replicated. He was an honest and genuine singer. I’m 57.
You hit it right on the head, Peter, that's exactly why I have been listening to Sinatra my whole life, his singing evokes feelings in me that no other singer can do to that degree. I have other favorite singers, of course, but no one is quite Sinatra's equal!
Your so right, the songs just flow from his mouth. No strain or stress just the beautiful sounds of his voice. Grew up listening too Frank, my Dad was a massive fan, he could sing Frank's songs really well.
Frank couldn'd read music, it was all by ear! That's one of the reasons he was so great! Did you know that he could clip an 1/8th of a note from a song while singing the song to up the tempo?
You're certainky entitled to your opinion, and I started listening to Frank as a black 8 year-old kid. Much respect for his abilities & his respect for all people, regardless of race. However, as for flat-out musical chops, Nat King Cole was the king, AND, he was an exceptional piano player to boot. Props to both.
D Me I agree about Nat King Cole. It’s not Christmas without him singing the The Christmas Song. I’ve actually swung my vote to Freddie Mercury. I’m 67 and just discovered him. Now I’m addicted. Stay safe.
@@patriciabilinkas3911 Thanks. Freddie Mercury? Hell of a performer, but so very different from Mr. Cole. I'm 60-plus too, so at least we've been there. Peace.
Actually it was arranged by Joe Parnello who was also on piano. QJ did co-arrange the title track L.A. is my Lady for Frank Sinatra. Quincy Jones's main jobs on the LA is My Lady album were as producer and conductor for his label Qwest Records.
I was very fortunate to be invited to a recording session of Sinatra's a couple of times, long ago, as a musician, it meant the world to me -- Sinatra was a perfectionist and knew EXACTLY how to fill the song with the appropriate emotions! His live recording of "Stormy Weather" was one never to be forgotten! And Quincy Jones is a special artist also. Sinatra: what a voice, what an artist, they just don't make them like him anymore! (In his recording sessions, you can really see how he feels the emotion of the song, with his body language. More so than in concert with these emotional songs.) When you must consider the audience, sometimes we cannot put the emotion into it as much, you just don't dare. At home, I sometimes have to stop and shed a tear while singing, because the lyric reminds me of something OR, it's so beautiful a song it gets to you -- you can't do that while performing -- or recording for that matter.)
Wow. I never thought of that. All these years of listening to Frank interpreting ballads so beautifully that I seem to cry, because of the beauty of how his feelings of the lyrics would come thru to me. And you’re right, I haven’t felt that same passion in his live performances. I had the pleasure of seeing him 7 times in person in Chicago. Every performance brilliant.
Absolutely ❤️✊⭐️ I was blessed by the man on October 28th,1988 at Bally’s Reno 🥳Front row as FS,Jr. was in charge of a FANTASTIC 40 piece orchestra 90 minutes of NON STOP POWER OF ENTERTAINMENT! Frank was going to be turning 73 that December 12th and he was JUST MAGNIFICENT ⭐️ I was 25 on that magical night and will never forget the TREMENDOUS STANDING OVATION when he first took the stage like a LION💎👀 I could see from my seat “ the wings” and saw Jilly and Sinatra’s silhouette with the smoke from his last drag and his head go straight back from taking a shot of JD as we know that was his favorite ⭐️ when he finished with an encore of “Mack the knife” ⚡️ANOTHER STANDING OVATION 👏 ( packed house of 3,000) I WAS THE VERY FIRST PERSON HE CAME TO as he bent down for a good 7 seconds or so ( it was like slow motion) and the stage lights hit his 👀 eyes! I can’t even describe how unreal BLUE they were! Absolutely wonderful memories and beautiful in my heart ❤️ THANK YOU Mr. Sinatra I told him as he squeezed my hand with a powerful grip , I gave back to him “ MARVELOUS “ he told me! I’ve been making my living singing/entertainer since 1985 and Frank Sinatra was my first vocal coach as my mother Mary worshiped the man all her life and had every album from Capitol to reprise and I studied all of it! I came out swinging with a Pall Mall Red in my little hand in 63’ I always gave her credit for that although we would never have a good relationship, especially after her and Nick Sr. divorced in 1972. 🌈I’m grateful 🥲
GOOD POINT. THERE MAY HAVE BEEN OTHERS WITH A BETTER VOICE BUT THE PHRASING AND TIMING? I DONT THINK THERE WAS ANYONE WITH MORE IMPECCABLE TIMING THAN FRANCIS ALBERT SINATRA .
Mr. Sinatra always pulls back from when I'm down in the dumps. I just lost my brother and I sit and listen. to Me. Sinatra. I wish I could let Nancy and Tina know how much their father has pulled me through the most difficult times in my life. God Bless you Mr. Sinatra
oh that feeling, the emotion, the phrasing. if we can.... the longing, the pain,the joy of having won,and the pain of having lost..if we can be the best of.....if,if.
I remember back in the '80's walking down the streets of New York City with Nancy Magauran when I saw a limo with a plate tag :"NYC 1". I knew it was Mr. Sinatra's limo and sure enough, who comes out the back stage door walking to his limo but the Chairman of the Board himself. So I just waved to him and said " Hi Frank" as I walked by his limo as he was getting in. He waved back and said " Hi". My only encounter with the greatest crooner of the 20'th century. RIP Mr. Sinatra.
Does anyone remember that guy who sang, "...puts on Sinatra and starts to cry..." That's why! There will never be another like the Voice! There is something incredibly nostalgic about this song, like two lovers about to leave each other and want to have something to remember each other by.
My favorite cut on the LP...I never tire of it. It’s amazing that this all star band just rocking Q’s outstanding arrangements has the ballad as the best or close to the best performance. Hard to beat Sinatra with a ballad at any age..
@@helaina400 Do you know which musician did?? I know several arrangements were done by Frank Foster....Of the ones Q didn't do he oversaw who did..He was their leader..
The only other person I've heard put such elegant emotion in song was Nancy Wilson, the rest have reasons to be placed behind these two, although there are some singers of Sinatra's era that came close, but not before or since and probably never will be. There's a way to put emotion in your songs that doesn't make it too maudlin or overly dramatic, and Sinatra was master of that ability.
Oh boy. Mr. Sinatra.. the one the only.. I've heard several versions of this song and loved all of them.. but Frank's version is the only one that gets my eyes to 💦 water.
Ya! That beautiful piano and the whole arrangement! Perfection! I am 54 now and remember all those other versions too! James Ingram and Patti Austin...beautiful words!!! Life, " The Music"......our SOULS, NEVER END! God bless us all~*
I agree, but then, Alan and Marilyn Bergman's lyrics always seem to touch a soft spot in me, their lyrics always told a story, so down-to-earth and about things we all feel at some point in our lives! Of course, no one can put the touch on this kind of song with the emotion in their voice like Sinatra does, just hits you right in those old heart-strings somehow! You feel his pain, his emotion, and the lyrics really MEAN something to you! I think nearly everyone has loved and lost at least one time in their lives or feels other emotions these lyrics and tunes evoke in one's soul. Just superb!
Oh my goodness Frank Sinatra will never be gone as long as we listen to his wonderful voice as in this beautiful song which is sung from his very soul. Sorely missed but bever forgotten.
What can you say , all was said many times before , one thing i say is it is not so much to listen to the songs over and over , but i love hearing the voice over and over , and by the way That would be one of my best picks ( THE WORLD WE KNEW ) .
I'm 64 now, and since I was as young as 5 (as best I can remember), this man's singing, with the magnificent musical talent supporting him, and his unique style of delivering each of them, have always touched my heart. Bless you Mr. S. (Salnotra - J.S.)
How Do You Keep The Music 🎶 Playing, how can it ever stop,this great human being is the only one that keeps it go on n on n on we love n miss you MR. SINATRA R.I.P.
That was Sinatra's fortè, really, he called some of them "saloon songs" some of them "suicide songs" -- the ballads that touch us all, and portray the feelings many of us have, sad, happy, longing, remorseful, joy, and Sinatra knew exactly how to bring those emotions out in his songs. An inimitable, remarkable talent, never to be replaced. He must have liked this song, he recorded it 3 times, in 1983, '84 and again in 1994. There weren't a lot of songs he recorded 3 times, but in his almost 60-year career, things change, arrangers make better arrangements and that can affect the choice to repeat a song. I happen to prefer Sinatra's older voice, my favorite years of his were probably in the 1960's to '80's. His young voice in the '40's just didn't have nearly as much feeling -- perhaps living, loving and losing, and in general, life's ups and down made the difference, but always the consummate professional, he did not that negatively affect the way he sang. Only once, he broke down on a certain song (I won't name it) in the studio while recording, just after he and Ava broke up. That was rough on him. (But he came back another day and nailed it.) Life can be touchy, very tough at times for all humans. If it's not, you're not real!
Frank sang a song casually yet always showcased his amazing rich baritone. His timing on rhythm seemed out of synch, but it was all practiced and nuanced actually, to the accompaniment. The reprise of the section “I know”-pure Frank and delicious. Miss him, a true gift to our country of his talent.
Magic .Music Frank Sinatra.....fantastic. this was fantastic...oh yes we have lost it ... Old days were the best...effortless Frank...backing real . Thank you for this love it xxx
Mr S. Is one of a kind. There was never a better singer. When things got depressing for me I would listen to Mr. S. He is the most soothing vocalist God ever put on this earth. Thank you God and thank you Mr. S.
I was in the studio that night. I had been touring with Frank as his opening act for just a little over a year at that time.

More than 30 years have passed,tears come every time I hear this beautiful tune,and I am only 92 yers old.
Simply the best!
yes there is only ONE Sinatra....he had the lot....
*NICE & THAKS. Im 74 YEAR OLD & REMEMBER THIS SONG 30 YEAR AGO*

I just danced with my husband to this in our kitchen today.. it is our wedding song and have been dancing to it for 36 years.
Love this!!!
Good for you Linda. Keep on dancing with your beloved husband.
Real talent, real music, real orchestra, real feeling with lyrics that touches my soul. No gimmicks, no autotune, no lipsyncing, the best.

@@mjlejer3241 happy to hear from you. Yes he was a gift to all of us.
I feel ya. BTW Frank gave a slow jazz spin to James Ingram and Patti Austin's 1982 classic.
I'm right there with you, Peter, tears included..Frank is one in a million.
Frank just reads the music and sings it like he's lived the lyric his entire life! RIP
Your so right, the songs just flow from his mouth. No strain or stress just the beautiful sounds of his voice. Grew up listening too Frank, my Dad was a massive fan, he could sing Frank's songs really well.

D Me Don’t forget Ella.
Just the best ever
His music just puts you somewhere you need to be at the moment
Thx for the magic Frank
Quincy, Quincy, Quincy...27 grammys...!...Oh my Quincy can orchestrate!...any and all instruments are just flawless, especially the horn section!
Absolutely ⭐️Q loved Sinatra too❤️⭐️✊
Quincy did not orchestrate this album. He organized the musicians and he spurred them on with his great conducting.
Actually it was arranged by Joe Parnello who was also on piano. QJ did co-arrange
the title track L.A. is my Lady for Frank Sinatra. Quincy Jones's main jobs on the LA is My Lady
album were as producer and conductor for his label Qwest Records.
In his later years, Frank Sinatra was still capable of singing great love songs beautifully. Frank was also a tireless HUMANITARIAN.
Francis Albert Sinatra looks so comfortable and interprets this song effortlessly. Simply brilliant.
I also miss Sinatra just like you and as many people in the world
Best version I have heard to date
IKR. BTW my dad's fave singer, LOL.
Absolutely ⭐️✊ He had IT❤️

The golden era of music!! Superb arrangers , musicians, songwriters, vocalists. It will never be forgotten and never matched in the future 👏
What a pair.... Frank and Quincy.... Two of the best all times
AMEN; what an arrangement!!
The singer of our lifetime! End of story! Heard him perform LIVE twice. I feel so blessed .
Twice for me as well. I'll never forget those nights.
He became the music and the music became him No one can do it better.
His voice was so beautiful and became fuller with the years. And his timing..... just perfect. Love you forever Frank.

One of my favorite later Sinatra tunes. He still had it here emotionally and vocally. Love and miss Mr Sinatra
This breaks my heart hpw you are missed
I would like to praise not only the singer's outstanding performance but also the fantastic arrangement by Nelson Riddle.
The “mercedes benz” of all men mister Sinatra👌
Theres nobody like Frank!
OMG, thank you very much, simply perfect awesome 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻💯🔝💯🔝😍🥃🥇
A beautiful message of eternal love for two dedicated hearts.
So sweet dad. They don't make music like this anymore. This makes me of you and mom.
Beautiful Dad! They don't make music like this anymore, do they?
+John Dudek Reminds me of my wife and I. She was my best friend and lover. Play it almost every day. It was her favorite.
Keep hold of that lovely thought William. As the song says "The music never ends" and one wonderful day you'll be with her again.

oh that feeling, the emotion, the phrasing. if we can.... the longing, the pain,the joy of having won,and the pain of having lost..if we can be the best of.....if,if.
Sinatra has no equal as a craftsman of songs. He didn't write them, but he interpreted them better than anyone before or since.
D. Neil McKay He always credited the composers of the songs he sang.
Was für eine Stimme was für ein Lied das ist was was leider so nie wider geben wird 😢
Timing, phrasing is spot on. Frank at his best.
Eine seiner besten Aufnahmen rip Mr Sinatra ❤
Frank made interpreting an art and he was the Master.
ooh Michel Legrand again....and he wrote What Are You Doing The Rest Of Your Life...great composer.....
Love ALL of Michel LeGrand's music!!! Quincy Jones is no slacker either. And Frank, well he's FRANK. So romantic!!!
Sinatra aged like fine wine, he only got better with age, right up to the end.
He truly was "The Voice"
I remember back in the '80's walking down the streets of New York City with Nancy Magauran when I saw a limo with a plate tag :"NYC 1".

I have listened to countless versions of this beautiful song, but I always go back to Frank’s. The voice, the phrasing, the soulfulness... perfect.
Does anyone remember that guy who sang, "...puts on Sinatra and starts to cry..." That's why! There will never be another like the Voice! There is something incredibly nostalgic about this song, like two lovers about to leave each other and want to have something to remember each other by.

The words and music just flow out like magic
The perfect marriage of music, lyrics and performance. What JOY!!! Thank-You
the mystery of Sinatra .. why a such musicality ?! i can't explain it . it's so rough and so sweet in the same time ...
Grew up listening to him frm ma..i b 63 now .saw him with her in the 80's .Radio city .carnegie hall ..the best .
What can you say , all was said many times before , one thing i say is it is not so much to listen
to the songs over and over , but i love hearing the voice over and over , and by the way
That would be one of my best picks ( THE WORLD WE KNEW ) .
How fortunate to have paralleled the Frank Sinatra voice years....
Can’t imagine a world without this special voice.......
It's miraculous how everthing comes together here. The great Sinatra makes this happen. How very, very beautiful.
Frank and Quincy were good together! Great all around job!!!!
The Chairman kills it!! Much better than the original duet. Fantastic arrangement, and one-of-a-kind vocals.
I'm 64 now, and since I was as young as 5 (as best I can remember), this man's singing, with the magnificent musical talent supporting him, and his unique style of delivering each of them, have always touched my heart. Bless you Mr. S. (Salnotra - J.S.)
What a song, and to have Quince there who was with him during the ratpack.. this song always makes me cry..
Magic. We miss you Frank.
F.rank Sinatra has the voice by the grace of god, thank you !
WHAT an voice!!!! I saw him ince in Germany, Berlin , Deutschlandhalle...It was amazing, one of his last concerts he made... ❤
How Do You Keep The Music 🎶 Playing, how can it ever stop,this great human being is the only one that keeps it go on n on n on we love n miss you MR. SINATRA R.I.P.
the best song played by the best of all... Frank.
Though not his last recording session, it's definitely his last GREAT one. And thankfully somebody was smart enough to video tape it all...
I totally agree with you Jason. He made it look so easy!
I have the vhs tape. I copied it to DVD.
John, is he using a boom mic AND a condenser ??
I was lucky enough to see him perform in person. I believe It was truly a blessing.
Joe Parnello, pianist and arranger of this song, with "QJ" conducting. An ABSOLUTE "Classic."
Never tire of this man and his music...it never ends!
The greatest vocalist and song stylist of all time!!
Mr. Sinatra, 3mal live erlebt. Nie vergessen. Jede Sekunde habe ich genossen. Machs gut Frank.
Two Icons!
Maximum Grooviness!
Only one Frank Sinatra till eternity. Periodt.❤️
The song is a timeless classic about music as a metaphor for love.;)
He was simply the best. The way he carries a tune, phrases and phases the lyrics and plays with the rythm is absolutely unique.
Command as he does soul as he has and interpretation unparalleled the ingredients of magic and that magic is Sinatra❤
a great performance mr sinatra
Great song, great singer, great orchestra, wonderful.
Forever Frank...
Can someone invent a time machine already? 😭😭 I badly need one to travel back in time and witness this greatness
And now quincy join him in heaven together hopefully they continue singing like angels
Frank Sinatra great lyric phrasing here. He was great with slow sad ballads.
That was Sinatra's fortè, really, he called some of them "saloon songs" some of them "suicide songs" -- the ballads that touch us all, and portray the feelings many of us have, sad, happy, longing, remorseful, joy, and Sinatra knew exactly how to bring those emotions out in his songs. An inimitable, remarkable talent, never to be replaced.
He must have liked this song, he recorded it 3 times, in 1983, '84 and again in 1994.
There weren't a lot of songs he recorded 3 times, but in his almost 60-year career, things change, arrangers make better arrangements and that can affect the choice to repeat a song.
I happen to prefer Sinatra's older voice, my favorite years of his were probably in the 1960's to '80's. His young voice in the '40's just didn't have nearly as much feeling -- perhaps living, loving and losing, and in general, life's ups and down made the difference, but always the consummate professional, he did not that negatively affect the way he sang. Only once, he broke down on a certain song (I won't name it) in the studio while recording, just after he and Ava broke up. That was rough on him. (But he came back another day and nailed it.) Life can be touchy, very tough at times for all humans. If it's not, you're not real!
Melhor cantor do mundo. Simplesmente maravilhoso, imortal! Amo.
@@MJLeger-yj1ww what's the 83 version??
@@johngutierrez452 FS recorded this in '83, '84 and '94. It is on his "L.A. is My Lady" album with Quincy Jones, released in 1984.
Gravação e vídeo perfeitos.
Frank sang a song casually yet always showcased his amazing rich baritone. His timing on rhythm seemed out of synch, but it was all practiced and nuanced actually, to the accompaniment. The reprise of the section “I know”-pure Frank and delicious. Miss him, a true gift to our country of his talent.
Exactly and this slightly out of synch was his trademark. And here aswell. A much better version than the duet. Kind of ballade
Thank God for Frank.
Magic .Music Frank Sinatra.....fantastic. this was fantastic...oh yes we have lost it ...
Old days were the best...effortless Frank...backing real . Thank you for this love it xxx
great great very beautiful songs!!!!! merveilleux!!!
No one has that kind of voice, that song was his alone. All sing it pretty well, but not like he can. He was the best
Whenever I listen to Frank. Feels like I've died and gone to Heaven ❤️
William Kneebone..please checkout English singer Joe Longthornes version and tell me who u think sings it best.
Frances Albert Sinatra, you're the one and only! The best of the best🎉🎉🎉
Hard to believe she has been gone for over two years. Still the best recording of that beautiful song. He was much better as he got older
Mr S. Is one of a kind. There was never a better singer. When things got depressing for me I would listen to Mr. S. He is the most soothing vocalist God ever put on this earth. Thank you God and thank you Mr. S.
