“The best revenge is massive success.” -Frank Sinatra.. watch Ava Gardner NEXT kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ldV9ppyGv63Rh6s.html

My late father in law was Mr. Sinatra's French chef. I never met Mr. Sinatra in person, but he always sent me a Christmas bag full of goodies, and you would not believe how amazing the stuff was. He was very private and reclusive then, he was sick a lot. But he was always very kind and generous, yes, to his employees and their families.

I remember watching his documentary and finally understood why i got goosebumps when he sang "my way". He really lived an interesting life!

Can we not just graze over the fact that Frank’s grandmother revived him by holding him under cold water until he gasped for air??? Where did she learn that from? Was that common place back in the day? So intriguing!!

Ol' Blue Eyes.....my mother's favorite. We had a dance routine for 'New York, New York'. I was listening to him recently and thought of my mom and just cried. She was tough too but loving. Thank you. Rest in Heaven Mommy with Ol' Blue Eyes...❤❤

Sinatra said Billie Holiday had a profound influence on his phrasing.

Frank Sinatra was a legend! His life was crazy as hell! Him and Ava Gardener had tempestuous relationship! They had big fights! He was crazy about her! He had a lot of pull in show business! He was very depressed and a lot of other issues! He's been around a long time! He was a triple threat!!😮😮😮😮😊😊😊

What a life! Honestly all the people you break down have lived very interesting lives. I feel like my life is boring as heck watching these breakdowns😂

You can really see the how Ronan Farrow looks like a lot like Frank when he was younger. Ronan can sing pretty good too. No doubt in my mind that Frank is Ronan’s dad 💯

Quincy Jones played in his band when quincy was young. He talked about how when people did racist things toward him, Frank would go off.

My favorite song by him was New York New York. My mom was a fan and would play his music. Surprised you didn't mention The Rat Pack, and his life in Las Vegas. But like you said, there are so many stories it would have taken at least an hour. Thanks for sharing.

I remember hearing Frank Sinatra for the first time and it was "Luck Be A Lady" as Robin Williams is getting ready to be Mrs.Doubtfire. Since then, I have listened to so much of his music and sung "My Way" (my favorite song) and just gotten into his movies. And when I say, this one movie he did (Pal Joey), the camera pin to him and his eyes, whew I definitely understand why women fell for him; that and his charisma. Even Giveon stated how Frank Sinatra is one of his influences. Favorite Songs; My Way Come Fly With Me Only The Lonely My Kind of Town Love and Marriage To Love and Be Loved Come Dance With Me The Way You Look Tonight

I love Sinatra. He was my Dad's favorite. I admired him for fighting racism. I saw another biography where he asked a mob boss to stop the making of the movie the Godfather, because he didn't like the way the character who was based on him, was portrayed. Imagine if his Grandmother didn't put him under cold water! I never heard that story. Amazing!

"I Did It My Way" Great vocal performance...

My fascination with Sinatra, and I think other peoples also, is that, love him or hate him, he did not live a half-assed life, full of compromises, as most of us do. He went "for the gold," failed, reinvented himself, and went for the gold again. From James Kaplan's definitive two-volume biography of "The Chairman," I was amazed to learn how many people loved/hated him but could never distance themselves, no matter how much he abused them. I think that speaks to the human quality of wanting to be around a "do-er," if we're not up to the challenge of being one ourselves. If for no other reason the Sinatra legend will endure.

There wouldn't be a Michael Buble or a Harry Connick Jr. without Ol' Blue Eyes. Please do Nat 'King' Cole soon. He and Mr. Sinatra were good friends before the great Nat's tragic death from lung cancer. In fact, Mr. Sinatra took it hard. 😔

My favorite song by him is "My Way." I was drawn to listen to it one day as I was mulling over my life choices and forging a new path in my life. Thanks for posting this!

I know Frank is an icon, but his huge popularity was a bit before my time. I admire his singing and his acting. What turned me off was this tough guy image and his connection to the mob. That said, he's an enormous talent. P.S. I always thought his marriage to Mia was odd. Not for the age difference. But for her hippy free spirit marriage to a controlling older man. They seemed totally incompatible. And they were. Thanks, Karine, for this Sinatra deep dive. P.S. Will you do a video on John Garfield, the now forgotten anti-hero? If it weren't for him, there would be no James Dean, Al Pacino, Dustin Hoffman, and others.

I adore frank sinatra I sang some of his songs at a wedding last summer. So romantic 🥲

I’m finally on time sis ❤️❤️! Frank Sinatra lived one helluva life. Side note, I loved your Lark Voorhies video, a fashion icon. I hope she’s doing well 🙏🏿❤️

My favorite song of his luck be a Lady tonight. He was a bad man.

Frank’s vocals put me to sleep and just is just so soothing…and charming ig?

Love his music and he aged well.❤

Once again, you've outdone yourself with a great story! I love your voice, videos & storytelling! Keep up the good work!

Extremely handsome as well as talented! ❤

You gotta do GENE KELLY!!! My goodness …

When He Looked Happy His Eyes Were Smiling 😊

‘It Was a Very Good Year’ is my favorite Ol Blue Eyes song lol

Having the same birthday, December 12th as Frank, I've had a strong connection with his music for many years. Thank you for this tribute to an amazing artist and man.

Maybe do a breakdown on the Beatles, it would be fun to learn unknown things about them.

I didn’t think he was a big deal, but I saw him in the film ‘High Society,’ with Grace Kelly and Bing Crosby, and oh my! The part where he sings to Grace Kelly the song ‘You’re Sensational’ and the way he looks at her made me get it. I melted! 😊 hehe

I love jazz so my click over to this video was lightning fast

Sounds like he likely had OCD and Bipolar disorder. This is coming from a therapist, who has both of those diagnoses

My childhood neighbor was in the big bands with Frank they were very,very good friends more like brothers.He did sing to me over the phone at my neighbors home after calling one day!🎤 🎶💞

⭐⭐⭐⭐ My grandmother use to say " Like the way that little man sings" regarding Frank Sinatra.

I play Sinatra all day at work! Love his music!

Love Me Some Frank Sinatra--superb talent, ...I saw him in two separate concerts when I was young in 1993 -in Los Angeles--he was in his late seventies then, and he had Don Rickles open for him, along with Shirley MacLaine. It was a dream realized to see him live. I always felt Ava Gardner was the true and real love of his life. There will never be another Chairman of the Board--Mr. Frank Sinatra!! RIP, Sir-you are one of a kind!

Favorite songs by him: "Strangers in the Night", "Fly Me to the Moon", "New York, New York", "Something Stupid", and "My Way"

Strangers in the night is my favorite song from him ❤

I always loved Frank Sinatra's music. I'm a bigger fan than my 84-year-old young mom, lol. My favorites are New York, New York (kinda biased being that I'm a native New Yorker), Fly Me to the Moon, and My Way

Very nice. I read some time ago that the big reason his career faltered after Gardner is because he literally lost his voice. Literally. For like more than a year.

I enjoyed your coverage, and yes he was a mess! I was surprised you didn't mention that his son was kidnapped and his ear was cut off to prove that they had him.His son had lasting trauma from. For years people thought was, until his family recently released his letter begging for his back to the kidnappers. Thanks for this deep dive.

Sinatra was that dude. 😂 Those beautiful blue eyes, and that voice is still legendary. Can you do a video on Dean Martin and Sammy Davis Junior? Awesome videy🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤

I'm from Hoboken and although I never met him i knew some of his family through my grandmother. Hoboken was mostly poor Italian immigrants back than and everyone was very proud of him.

Another amazing video! Well done Karine! Girl you putting in WORK!! 👏🏼

I’m glad he grand-mom saved him. Imagine a world without him!

Talented man who made all his own problems and who hurt his family who still seem to be suffering.

Your content is better than e true Hollywood story…always very entertaining and well thought out documentaries.

If you watched enough Spike Lee movies, you will learn about Frank Sinatra real quick. That is how I learned of his music and fell in love since. Great video

I love the song,My Way 🤍💜💝💫✨🌟🍾🥂🥂

He was a sag. Straight to the pointtttttt and blunt as hell. Some ppl can’t handle that 🤷🏽‍♀️

Frank's voice improved as he aged. Watch the movie: The Man with the Golden Arm.

So excited about this one! well done, as usual. Summer wind, is my favorite. The background music is also my favorite piece, by your brother ❤

we need that seduction law back 😂😂. Too many people out here playing with peoples emotions

Mr. Sinatra was cool I used to have to go to his home in Malibu and Beverly Hills because my mother-in-law was his Night Nurse so he was always friendly to us

So excited to watch this!

Ole Blue Eyes

the background music is so lovely to listen to 😍 great video karine!

The Rat Pack owned Las Vegas financially, owned the gaming industry there and most of all the hotels and land, and were in the mafia. History is fascinating on them

He was the first teen idol.

This is easily my new favorite channel, i found you like a week ago. These videos are amazing! And you’re a POC 👏🏾👏🏾 like what 🤯

My dad loved Frank Sinatra. I still have his old albums and duets. Everytime i play them I remember the good times we had. R.I.P Josh ❤

Can you do a video on Blac Chyna… or should I say Angela white

*When l use to hear hm sing *"New York New York"* 🎵 it would be awesome* and still is, a great moment."

A great commentation. Thank you, Karine.

Thanks for the upload!!❤️❤️❤️

Brilliant video. Great detail on the early career. Great job as usual.

He overlaps with so many ppl you've covered it's crazy

Wow I’m looking forward to this! I enjoy your videos! A couple days ago I was looking thru old CDs I have and saw a Frank Sinatra one and it brought back nice memories. When I was younger a man from my church burned the CD for me as a nice gift

I remember my mother begging me to agree to see the Rat Pack when they were on their final tour.. I finally agreed. Called to order tickets.. they were sold out within an hour

Looove all your videos on Old Hollywood!! Keep going !

It wasn’t racism.. Frank feared Sammy Davis Jr. Sammy Was realistically the GREATEST of the Rat Pack. It was first Davies then Sinatra then Martin. Frank idolised Davies. But Sinatra although a Giant on Stage- knew he could never achieve the limitless talent of Sammy Davies Jr.

I love that you touched on the Bandleader Story with Sinatra that Mario Puzo & Francis Ford Coppola borrowed for The Godfather. I always found it interesting 🤔😀

I’m so glad you brought this bg music back. Matches perfectly with your voice and am able to focus on your story telling while working. As soon as you said, “he liked staying friends with his ex’s” I looked up his astrology birth chart and saw why (3rd House Venus Capricorn). People are people regardless if y’all aren’t a piece anymore, he definitely values the relationships that he gets into friendship or relationship. There is so much airy, dreamy, charm in his chart. It’s actually very refreshing. There is really so much I can say about it. 😭♥️

Yes fly me to the moon !

I loooooove that you’re covering some of the allusive and interesting men as well! Love your breakdowns

“My Way” all the way from Hoboken, New Jersey!

Hello Karine..this was lovely..great video..and Happy Easter..Joy & Peace to everyone..🙏💖

" You go to my head" 🤗🤗🤗💞💞

Such interesting facts about these people that we've seen all our lives but never knew anything about them thanks!

That’s life and witchcraft are my favorite Frank Sinatra songs 💗💗I love listening to his music while I drive. So relaxing!

Can you do videos on Irene Cara and the original aunt Viv Janet Hubert??

Im glad you did this one.

What a life. My favorite song "Strangers in the Night". Thank you for telling his story. Please look into doing one of "The Rat Pack" also another icon Bill Crosby, he was a heart breaker as well.

the way i needed this one lately

You did great!

"One for the Road" is my absolute favorite

Great video. Thank you

I fell in love with Sinatra's music by way of my mother's love for it. Every Sunday and sometimes throughout the week, she played My Way and Nat King Coles, That Summer, That Sunday. To honor them, I played My Way at my parent's funerals....Yesssss, it was MY WAY.

How about Anna May Wong, and Ramon Navarro. They were pioneer minority silent star actors.

I've been waiting on you to do him Thanks

I love When I Was 17, New York and his appearance on Who's The Boss

Bravo nice music in the background thanks❤

Frank Sinatra was one of my childhood heroes as a child, and I'm still a huge fan of his work as an outstanding jazz vocalist. I've also read at least half a dozen biographies about him. It's safe to say that I'm a Sinatra aficionado! Frank was irreplaceable as an icon! As a Black man, I was always impressed that he was an activist long before it was fashionable! I didn't care about his jokes about Black people during the RAT PACK years. Because he made changes to the advancement of Black people. I'm a kid from Brooklyn, so I'm not sensitive about these matters. Frank Sinatra was also a man's man and had mad swagger! There are cats in the hip-hop game today that are still trying to emulate his persona and Flava! The mafia association gave him so much danger and power! I also loved the fact that he was banging the finest broads in the world! Long live the legend of Francis Albert Sinatra!

No one had a better life he had it all & he wasn’t afraid to share it he helped a lot of people never wanted anyone to know about it

Funny enough was listening to him today😯 I await to learn more from this video

My high school sweethearts mother grew up in Hoboken like Frank did and would tell us how he would sing to the girls on his stoops of the apartments and houses and sing to them when he was a young teenager. I have loved his work but have issues with his personal life which does detract from the love of his talent. It’s heartbreaking when you’ve only seen the censored public side of a celebrity and then find out the darkness behind the fabricated persona. I’m so glad your channel somehow ended up in my thread today but you definitely have yourself a new subscriber. Thank you for your compassionate way of approaching the subjects and not exporting them anymore than they already have been especially the women in the industry. ❤

My MAN, FRANK SINATRA, GREATEST ENTERTAINER EVER.

This one should be very interesting ☝🏽 i love your channel and content karine happy Good friday❤❤❤

❤😊 love him❤❤
