He was a complicated man. I know many complicated people who aren’t famous that have a hard time with things. But this guy, kept his families loyalty, kept friends and employees for decades. He made people happy.
My cousins were Manie and Lester Sacks. Frank Sinatra was Manie's best friend. Manie worked for Columbia Records and RCA Victor. He helped so many actors and singers in their careers.
Sacks said Sinatra is still around "because he's got talent" -- that is certainly an understatement! He just got better and better, perfectionist that he was. Perfectly on pitch, perfect diction, phrasing, tone, quality -- he had it all!
Very very nice, Joe. The song was written for Franks's daughter Nancy, before Tina was born, but it is applicable in part to Nancy Sr. as well. You sang it well.
Robert Mitchem and Lana Turner told her not to marry Sinatra because he didn't like to lose an argument and he would not stop until one of them was dead. She didn't listen and regretted it. Unfortunately, she chose three of the worst guys to marry.
Unfortunately Sinatra tried to suicide thrice while married to her, Aborted twice without telling him that explains a lot why their marriage didn't last
He had an almost 60 year career. But he knew when to stop, he was starting to forget some lyrics, so strange for him but it happens when you are pushing 80. There's never been any vocalist like him, probably never will be. I was lucky to be acquainted with him and see him perform a number of times. He was such a gentleman, (most of the time) unless heartless reporters hounded him. People don't know how generous he was, but he literally gave millions away, he only had to hear about someone in need sometimes, and he'd pay their bills, get them food, etc. All anonymously, which is the way he wanted it. Good man, loyal friend. There were a lot of people who were jealous of him and some of them told vicious stories that were untrue, but that's part of being famous and so successful.
I love Frank's Music, though well out of my era. But Frank was not good enough for the Beautiful Ava Gardner. She was too much of a natural female, to be sculpted by Hollywood's fake persona.
I honestly don’t think Ava was any prettier than Nancy she was a good mother and a good wife what more does a man want or need I admire people like Nancy may she Rest In Peace
Nancy was a good mother and a great wife to Frank ( I believe she lived him till her death) , she was his high school sweetheart. But Frank fell hard for Ava, she was his one true love . Their natures didn't let them stay married but they were indeed lovers forever.
The Greatest of All Time (G.O.A.T.) who had a huge role in desegregating Las Vegas----although like his financial assistance to entertainers who were down on their luck (enormous and legendary)--he would never take credit for his actions.
Kitty Kelly was a gosip writer, fucusing only on the negative side of the famous ones! He wasn't perfect and had many flaws,probably, but he's also known to have been generous towards many people.. Too easy to call "a disgusting monster" someone you've never known, just because you read a book written by someone who portrayed negatively only anyone she ever wrote about!
I’m 75 years old and all my life I have wondered what Ava Gardner saw in this guy. She like a mythical goddess and he so ordinary looking. No wonder she walked out and he took years of misery to recover
Their wedding was so low key yet still oozed glamour. Great looking couple
She was the love of his life

He paid for it.
Frankie baby was nothing but a sell-out Crypto
explain
@@sylviacarlson3561 figure it out
What’s a crypto and who did he sell out to?
Frank Sinatra just Had a Lot of Charisma and and was So Gifted ... Loved His Music!
OMG I love frank's and ava's wedding footage.

M.J. Leger Hope you like my tribute to Nancy. ua-cam.com/video/QumuZrtv-6k/v-deo.html

M.J. Leger Not perfectly on pitch starting in the later 60s. His voice was never as good after that. But his Capitol years were untouchable.
I like Frank Sinatra singing also. These rappers have nothing on the Chairman of Board.
He ruined his voice smoking drinking.
Ava and Frank together again.
"Could be tough ...but very good" I can relate 😊

Sinatra was given a gift, his voice, and he used it to make the world a better place.

It was estimated he donated $1 billion through out his lifetime in charities.

when was this interview? Frank died in 1998.
The duet between Sinatra and Dinah Shore on Friends of Mannie is very fun not to be missed. It’s on You Tube…
Great interview, Thank you
Interesting to listen to these stories. This interviewer is repeating the same questions quite a lot though 😬
Read Kitty Kelly’s book. He was a disgusting monster.

Ava was 27 in 51 😱 she looked way older
Ava was almost 30 , she was born in 1922. She was STUNNING
I was never that impressed. He was no Clark Gable or Cary Grant or Robert Mitchum. Okay he sang really well.
I was never that impressed with Sinatra either.
Angie Dickinson said in an interview on UA-cam that Frank was a great love of her life.
Thank you!
