Jerry I wish you’d do a narration of Elvis Presley! Frank Sinatra snd Elvis we’re friends. They had a interesting friendship. His daughters could tell you about it. One of the girls met Elvis to invite him to the show Frank had on tv for Elvis when he got out of the Army. It was called welcome home Elvis. Then later she, I think Nancy was in a movie called spin out. Elvis wanted a house in Palm Springs cause Frank had one there. Elvis borrowed airplanes from Frank several times. One was for Elvis and Priscilla wedding in Las Vegas. Also Elvis loved Dean Martin. I am so glad Franks grandmother tried to save him. Determined to see her grandson live. Good work gramma.

My now 91 year old Mom was a "Bobby Soxer & loved Frank. Ever since my Dad passed in November of 2019, I have been living with & caring for Mom. I got her a Smart TV about a year ago & was able to figure out how to cast my tablet to her TV. She is now watching this Bio. It's Sunday evening & not much on regular TV, so she is entranced with this. You always hear that the day will come when 1 of the children, (I'm 64 now), wiill be caring for an elderly parent. Well, the day is here, & out of 4 kids, I'm the oldest, I am the chosen one. It's so nice to be able to pull up these things on You Tube for Mom, & give me a break🤗💖😊! Thank you so much for this Bio.

A terrific short documentary. As a long-time Sinatraphile, I can tell you that this video nicely captures a good chunk of the major highs and lows of the great singer and actor. Sinatra probably holds the record among the legends of show business for reinventing himself so many times during his amazing life. And that should be an inspiration for us all.

About 6 years before I ever dreamed of getting into the stunt business , a friend of mine who was a huge fan of Sinatra took me to see him at the old Chicago stadium in Chicago, it y 1st concert ever, and there was Count Basie's orchestra , the lights deemed and out came Sinatra, he started singing " All the way, he had a glass of wine in ne hand , then some one threw him a rose, he picked it up , took the mike off it's stand and lay the rose where the mike had been. Maaaan! that was Style . I remember him in " Robing and the 7 hoods " , the part where he sang with Deano & Crosby You either got or you haven't got style ". I became an instant Sinatra fan. I didn't know my friend knew Sinatra, after the concert, he took me backstage where Sinatra was, and there's where I met him the 1st time, and the 1st time he ever pinched my cheek , as he told me ; " Thank you for coming ". As I mentioned in your video for Dean Martin , I hung out a lot at Deano's place, his restaurant, that's where I met him again many times , and I don't want to say I hated it, but, everytime he saw me he would pinched my cheek affectionately, this time he would say something like ; " Nice to see you " , saw him again when he was " Man of the week " in one of Dean's weekly roasts. The most beautiful love song for me he ever sang , and I play it for my wife on every anniversary is " My way of life " , which was in his " Cycles" l.p. I remember Dean saying " You guys know each other , uh? " I like Sinatra a lot, but I love Dean , and you could feel how much they loved each other.

Good as always Mr. Skinner. A few extra things; Sinatra was always on the go, and it was said Sinatra couldn't even keep up with Sinatra. Frank intervened to bring Dean and Jerry back together after their decades long, nasty breakup. But Frank had enough of a bad reputation, Australia didn't want him performing in their country. He stepped in and convinced his friend Sammy Davis to quit his cocaine habit. Frank also told his band leader to fill the ensemble with twenty percent African American, when it was very hard for minorities to even get into a prominent band. When the band leader said he couldn't do it, Frank told him to get it done, and so it did. Frank also helped Sammy Davis behind the scenes to get his break, hiring him, never letting Sammy know. My Mother said, when Frank Sinatra sang, it was like he was singing to you only. I believe it was a Playboy poll that consistently ranked Sinatra as the most popular singer in America. He certainly did life his way.

It is an absolute miracle that Frank Sinatra didn't suffer worse damage from his birth than he did. Many who are born just as Mr. Sinatra was often suffer lifelong handicaps that are more severe than the ones Frank did sustain. He was a very talented man. He wasn't perfect by any means, but I do admire his music. One of my favorites is actually a song that Frank detested. "Strangers In The Night." "That's Life", and "My Way" are a couple of others that I like.

Dean Paul was only 35 years old and had been on a training flight for the Air National Guard. He left behind a 14 year old son, and it’s said that Dean never got over his death and that it was the beginning of the end for him. He went into a slow decline and died on Christmas Day 1995 (in another ironic twist of fate Deans Mum, Angela Crocetti, had also died on Christmas Day, in 1966)

Well, it seems like my Mama spoke the truth. That one day I would outlive my idols. It happened to her so I guess she figured it would also happen to me; her side of the family seemed to outlive all of their friends and peers. She was a contralto singer from Ithaca, NY and some of her contemporary performers also played at the Chanticleer Club. She was critical and maybe a little jealous of their successes in her "neck of the woods". I could never understand her dislike for Frank Sinatra and her belief that Don Cornell was a family member. Getting into Family History research I could not prove it either way. But I was always in love with the romance of ballads even when I grew up to be a radio disc jockey. I couldn't carry a tune in a bucket, according to her, so I just played the songs and artists I loved in my 5-11 time slot on the airwaves. When you can't and you are a "wanna-be", the next best thing is to promote those who can. I have to admit the P R was far more fun and creative than the "doing" of the songs according to your own rendition. Thanks, Mom, without your push, look what I would have missed. My own brother was a singer/song writer in the New England area and got away from the mother who never believed in him and proved to himself how wrong she was in judging his talents. You have to admire anyone who has guts to know who and what they are and push through the negatives that will always come your way. The harder you are hit, the higher you learn to jump. Acknowledging your own gifts and talents takes precedence in knowing the costs of others in their efforts to succeed. Unfortunately, my brother was uncomfortable with me in his corner and headed back to where he started and where he was more comfortable. Strangers scared him and because of dealing with the audiences in my radio broadcasts, it just inspired me and scared him right back to where his comfort level was, back home. I think Sinatra's story might be just as interesting. I know he was a Jersey boy and that was where I graduated high school. Lots of Italians in our town and you should hear our "jam" sessions! WOW. We had a trumpeter who loosened up his lips playing the Flight of the BumbleBee. Between the trumpeters and the Italian singers our school block was always jumping and jiving. I was a dancer not a singer so when I was asked to perform at the USO, I taught them how to jive and left the singing to more of the vocal talent of our group.

My mother would have enjoyed this video, she’s been a huge Sinatra fan since the 1950s, saw all his movies and bought all the albums she could afford, I grew up listening to Frank Sinatra. I remember when he retired in the 1960s, then came out of retirement in 1974, doing a concert from Madison Square Garden that was televised and announced by Howard Cossell, also Sinatra’s run-ins with the journalists in Australia, I think he had to flee the country. He lost his beloved mother when she was killed in a plane crash enroute to Vegas to see her son perform in March 1977. I can’t hear a Sinatra song without thinking of my wonderful mother, who passed away a few months ago at the age of 81. We are holding a memorial service for her next spring, giving more time for the relatives to plan and attend. My two siblings and I will be going through hundreds of old family photos to choose some for the slideshow, and decide what music to play. There’s no question as to the singer; it’s just picking the songs that remind us of her. There was and is only one Frank Sinatra-he provides the soundtrack to my childhood. Jerry, love your videos, you do a great job! RIP mom-hope Frank is singing for you up there and you have a front row seat!

He also shows great acting in the scene where his character Nathan Detroit is breaking up with the Vivian Blaine character, Miss Adelaide, in a funny song, "Sue Me." In mid-song, he pauses, looks at her tenderly and takes off his hat before proceeding with the next verse. It still breaks my heart.

No, that is an example of faithfulness, in times of adversity, God has your blessings. It may not be apparent but you shall live to see it and she has, Nancy Barbados Sinatra, faithfulness matters!

He wasn't a good man but he sure could sing! Never any respect for Frank but big respect for the documentary.

I agree.... never thought much of Sinatra as a man, but what a voice!

'He wasn't a good man?' He was a complicated man, certainly, and he had his demons. He did an incredible amount of charitable work, doing benefits, donating his time, giving money to a great number of people who were down and out for various reasons. Of course, THAT stuff is never written about. Don't you agree, i.e., that the good stuff is seldom, if ever, written about? How do you reconcile that with your statement that he wasn't a good man? Yes, he could sing. And act. And dance.

@@jamesanthony5681 James. They've always got to find some fault with him and people like him ( like Errol Flynn ) - he had everything. ( They both did ).To hell with the fact that his songs brought joy to countless millions on this planet ( as Errol Flynn did with his films like The Adventures of Robin Hood, particularly to children ) - they still do! That's even more of a rub in the wound for them. So how can they react? Get revenge? Cut him down to size. Can you imagine what it's like for them to see a man who has such a voice, has Ava Gardner! Marilyn Monroe! Lauren Bacaal! Ruta Lee! Kim Novak probably, Rita Hayworth? - and then to cap it all, he's damnwell goes and gets beautiful Barbara Marx at the end of his life! - ( it's all too much and throws them into a tizzy ) - all that wealth - that house ( 2 of them! and a yacht! ), and that luck too! It's humiliating for us! God doesn't love us ( forgive me God if you're listening ) and countless other beautiful, gorgeous woman he had too! who are off this planet in looks- out of this world! Of course they've got to find something wrong with him. He had everything! We can't even get the girl next door. Mozart was full of faults and they can't help but have a go at him even though he's been dead for two hundred years!!! but his music! - it lasts forever - given by the gods. Why him? Why not us!? He favoured Frank Sinatra and Errol Flynn! What's wrong with us? Why didn't God give us these gifts? Why did He turn His back on us? That's their problem. That's why they move in on him. For me, his best is " I've Got You Under My Skin " with Nelson Riddle.The Best!

It happened in Brooklyn. Thanks, Mr. Skinner. So much detail. I have seen all of your great biographies. I think Frank Sinatra is your best work yet. Did you once work for law enforcement?

Trivia: I was 21 working at an after hours cocktail lounge in Eastside Manhattan called "Mann's'" for the owner, Michael Mann. It was there I met everyone from Mickey Mantle to Otto Preminger. One rainy night a nice middle aged chauffeur stood at the bar sipping a Coke. We became engaged in chit chat when he mentioned he was waiting for his "boss" Frank Sinatra I was thrilled....my heart racing..."Do you think you could introduce us?" In his raspy voice, the chauffeur replied, "Do you know where he is right now? He's upstairs with 3 Asian girls." I suddenly felt sick to my stomach....Poor Mia, I thought. About a month later I met Tisa Farrow, the image of her beautiful mother Maureen O'Sullivan, who was then working in a Grenich Village Mexican Restaurant called El Jardin. ..I wanted to tell her to warn Mia what Frank had done..but by then the tabloids were announcing their divorce. Money breeds entitlement...I was so naive...

I like the historical references to Sinatra's parents with the mob connections which infiltrated his whole life as a performer and kept him in a certain sense "in thrall" of underworld gangsters. One wonders at the story about the punctured ear drum, though. Thanks for a good bio!
