This rare, live performance of one of Frank's most famous songs was divided into segments, with other songs performed in between each verse. So I edited those other songs out in order to present a (fairly) smooth, continuous rendering of the song.

I remember riding in my dad's Chrysler New Yorker in 1965 listening to this song with him on the day my father turned 35. It was a very good year.

Only a few true artists come to center stage with such presence and staying power. Balance his eloquent phrasing (anybody remember the Hoboken Five?), with the best orchestration money could buy and you can see why he reigned for so long. As a young lad, I adopted the song as a life "template", to savor as much of life within the scant time I was allotted, constantly taking mental snapshots, to review in the "Autumn of my years"!

Not even close…..only 1 Frank - sure there are other excellent singers and artists - but nobody will ever be in The Chairman’s league. Imagine how many nights he would sell out in Madison Garden if he was to come back from the dead….10? 20?

@newsladytv3461 2 жыл бұрын

Truly is Sinatra's Song. Other Vocalists may cover it but only FRANCIS ALBERT makes it real. Chilling to see him sing it at a "young looking fifty" to the later years of the bulging Tuxedo and White-Gray hair. Got to see him in '91, breathing the same air. A very special night. Poured himself a drink from the bar wheeled on stage and bummed a smoke from a Lady in the front row!
