I cringe whenever watching this show...but I still watch it!...It is just that both Carson and Rickles seem a little bit uptight, a little nervous around Sinatra, who seems to be such a narcissist, and of course, expects people to worship his career. And then there is the shadowy relationship Sinatra had with the Mob! I believe he was feared, because of that connection.

I am 67 and was fortunate to have seen Frank Sinatra in Kansas City in the 1980s , I got to see him twice, one time he had Liza Minnelli open for him, I was never a big fan of hers, but she changed my mind, she was great, I mean fantastic, , all the Kansas City mob guys were there, I saw Nick Civella sitting down front, and radio personality Mike Murphy was there, it was a great night for Kansas City, Sinatra was at the end of his career but he was so good, I was also able to see Tony Bennett when he was on tour to support his album of Sinatra songs, he was wonderful, I feel lucky to have seen them, also caught Don Rickles in Las Vegas before he passed, he was so funny, those were the days for me, I loved it

Don was always so great with his spontaneous humor. Johnny Carson just rolls along in his interviews. Nice his vocal admiration of Frank. Ed was a great Supporter who didn't try to take the spotlight. May all be at Peace. Thanks for a Great Childhood

frank was 61 in this clip. interestingly, he mentions being paid in dimes as a joke. he carried a roll of dimes until the day he died. he was concerned about running out of change whilst talking to his son's kidnappers on a pay phone. in fact, he was also buried with a roll of dimes, a bottle of jack daniel's whiskey, a pack of camel cigarettes, and a zippo lighter.

You are absolutely correct about all of the above luke, as a huge Francis Sinatra admirer I made the trip to Memorial Park in Cathedral City Palms Springs in 2008 to deposit flowers 💐 on his grave on his tenth anniversary. (It’s nice I don’t live too far) I grew up with his music since early childhood, I’m 64 now and I believe I was a fan at age 3. May 14 1998 was such a a sad day the positive impact he had on millions me included, i cried like a baby, a man I never met, yet i felt he was like a dear uncle to me…amazing. PS: I’m planning to visit his grave once again this May, this is his 25 anniversary, I think I’ll leave a small bottle of Jack Daniels a cigarette and some flowers. Love Frank and his music until the end of my days, he was indeed the greatest voice and artist of the 20th century.
