I find Frank's singing to transcend all generations because you can understand his lyrics, which are powerful for most songs. The music is beautiful and something that stays with you. Thank you for doing this!

Hard to believe "Old Blue Eyes" has been gone for 26 years ....just sayin'

Beth, thank you once again. I love your comments. You are like Sinatra, you never disappoint. My favorite Frank song is LET ME TRY AGAIN from '73.

What a wonderful way to start the new year! Frank was and still is a treasure for us all, and I suspect most of us of my generation can relate to this song. Hearing it I’m both sad and hopeful at the same time. 😢😊 So many emotions… Thank you, Bethany! Happy New Year!

Frank Sinatra. What else is there to say? Hands down the greatest male vocalist and stage presence of all time! The smooth, golden voice. Enjoy your reaction - as always I do.

I said "phrasing" even before you! The way he can just fit in the words, in multiple different ways, every time he sings a song - or even within the same performance - is quite magical, to me. A one off!

Thanks for doing Bethany. I love listening to Frank on XM radio. His is a National Treasure!

For what is a man, what has he got? If not himself, then he has naught To say the things he truly feels And not the words of one who kneels💝💝💝💝

Thank you! More Sinatra please

Beautiful voice, stunning looks and such stage presence. Frank wasn't that bad either!!

I love your "I'm gonna do something bad but please don't shout" face when you pause it 🤣

Wonderful analysis, thank you. Mr. Sinatra is one of my top 3 favorite singers, male or female.

It's interesting that you describe this classic song like a scrumptious dessert. I guess that makes perfect sense! Love it!

Watching yet again! Would love for my friend Will (who authored the Sinatra book I'd mentioned) to see this analysis. He would dig it. There will never, ever be another Frank (but we knew that). In his own words, "You gotta love livin', baby, 'cause dyin' is a pain in the ass." Thanks again for this one, Bethany, and for all you've done here on the channel. Happy New Year!

Beautiful song and beautiful reaciton 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

You can't listen to Frank, and NOT get goose bumps. You're priceless Bethany.

Such respect and admiration Bethany shows for this man is a beautiful thing to see. ❤

Great job explaining What When how why -as usual. We Are here for Your way of evaluation-the whole package. Compliments to no excessive makeup no finger claws no tattoos great smile etc. Surviving 2024 in style ! PS Sinatra is a great singer-> Voila!

Sinatra's voice got even smoother and more astounding as he got older. His voice became much more deeper, clearer, a lot more richer and soooooo unique, even his phrasing improved more than any male singer that I've heard so far. In contrast, Shirley Bassey, the female singer who sang ("Goldfinger" the James Bond soundtrack) and Karen Carpenter also have wonderful phrasing and marvelous voices. Now, getting back to Sinatra, his voice was not only fabulous, but so unique, his phrasing was perfect, just perfect. That by itself is a huge talent. There are a lot of good singers out there with very good voices, but Sinatra had it all...that awesome voice, his phrasing, the swagger, the talent, the presence, the confidence, the charisma, and believability. I recommend, if you haven't heard his older songs, to listen to... "You Go To My Head," his Nice & Easy Collection. Also, "Why Try To Change Me," among many, many other of his older songs. His voice and phrasing are just fabulous. Frank Sinatra... AKA, Ol' Blue Eyes, The Voice, The Chairman of The Board,...etc RIP. Good old days are gone, with a few exceptions by and large today's generation haven't a clue what is takes to be a singer.

I have been calling for reactors to analyse the vocal masters like Sinatra, Ella etc, for years. Thanks for this.

Brought tears to my eyes. The first of 2024. Happy New Year lass.

I made the mistake of making my first purchase Sinatra's recordings from the 40's. I have to say I much prefer his deeper, raspier vocals that came with age (and perhaps a little smoking) which might be unusual to say of singers. Ian McCulloch plays guitar and sings with a cig dangling from his mouth on occasion to this day, and kept his voice intact for 35 years, but his vocals aren't as strong lately. He used to go from beautiful, smooth vocals to a deeper growl so effortlessly, but in his case, losing some of that smooth quality in his 60's hasn't been a positive. Still, the best live vocalist of the 80's though!

My grandma loved Franks music, a true legend

Yay Bethany! Happy New Year🎈 Great analysis of maybe the most famous singer ever.🎤

Brilliant analysis, as usual, Bethany. Thank you!

Thanks again for reminding me of what great music is out there! Every time I hear these classics I want to listen to more of them!

Great stuff Bethany, would appreciate your take on 'Fly Me to the Moon' which is epic!

Bethany, your analysis throws such light onto these performances and deepens and enriches my experience as a listener; I love your work so much.

Thank you!! A beautiful voice, excellent presentation, ya just gotta love him … Happy New Year!!

Another GREAT reaction and analysis of such a wonderful song! If you like Frank Sinatra, may I suggest the album "Sinatra at the Sands". Recorded live at the Sands Hotel in Las Vegas in 1966 with Count Basie and his orchestra. The banter and chat between songs is something many never saw from Ol Blue Eyes. It's been remixed and remastered, so it is most excellent played on a higher end audio system or headphones.

Frank (and orchestra) would drop the needle straight to a lacquer master disk and record the entire side of an LP in one, flawless take.

Wow. This is Awesome! So glad that I’d found your channel. RIGHT before I head off for E.S.T.. … ~’ChartedCourse: Dreamland’, too. Thank you, once more for doing this entire channel, this video in particular. **I’ll be back!!!?**

Thank you for expounding on the different techniques he utilises in this performance. There are other great singers - many with 'better' voices. But what sets him apart is that he rarely just sings the melody but always tries to sing the story in the lyric. Indeed, while his voice and musical styles between 1939 and 1994 radically changed, that quest is a constant and can be heard in countless songs and performances.

That was fantastic!! Watching your reaction and obvious joy and respect for this icon brought tears to my eyes! I'm a fan of many artists but there is something about that era when singers sung in the round with a live orchestra that truly showed their pure talent. Now I am waiting on you to react to Bocelli!

I was at that concert with my daughter. I had the pleasure of seeing frank perform 85 times. He was magical. He was the greatest interpretive musician of the 20th century.

Lifelong fan of Frank Sinatra. So interesting to get your explanation and analysis of what he is doing in this performance. It really added to my appreciation of his singing. He really was something special wasn't he.

One of the coolest men that ever walked this earth. His voice was never flashy but also very pleasing to the ear. He made it look easy.

Firstly HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL 💖🥳🎉 and FINALLY some legend stuff!! So I've mentioned me being a ROCK / METAL person by I do like some of the greats! Maybe being a Rock Hound I lean towards Tony or even Dean Martin but with your review I now get it! A lot of singers out there have great or awesome TONE but TIMING is that thing that seperates the Masters. BARBARA STREISAND (Hint, hint) 😉 has that. EVERGREEN and A WOMAN IN LOVE 💕 Melts me!! Awesome as always lady Bethany! Peace 🕊️☮️♾️😎

A masterclass in every way. The man simply had to walk on stage and the entire audience was spellbound and why not? he was incredible and speaking of incredible, you're pretty amazing at these analysis videos, I love to watch them.

Love your reaction videos.. so pro and also emotional

This brought a tear to my eye, this was played at my mom's funeral. She was a huge fan and the xmas not long before she passed, I had bought her a book about him. Sad but still a reminder of my dear mom.

Your commentary of contrast and categorical breakdown of this performance is beyond brilliant. Eye visited Franks Grave 6 times last year. You've reminded me that just wont cut it for 2024 to pay my respects to one of the few voices that can and still makes me cry ~ actually blubber like an idiot. 😓😓

These classic songs are a joy to listen to but your analysis is JUST as joyful!!

Just a beautiful response -- thank you so much. Well, what should I say? As always, actually... All the very best and a happy new year from Germany

The greatest! Wonderful analysis of his brilliant style. Thanks!

I love to sing Frank S. Dean Martin, Bobby Darin songs. Great songs of yesterday that had fantastic melodies and lyrics sung by quality voices. Billy Boy

My Grandmother loved Frank. She would have loved your video. He is one of my favorite Crooners.

You have a beautiful voice and you whistle all the time. Frank is the best! ❤

Remember watching this live at 12 years old, loved it. Had the great luck to see him live, once in 1977 and twice in the 80's. The best..

Great analysis of my favorite singer!😀

Master of story telling, with such ease, effortlessly brilliant

Happy new year🎉🎉🎉🎉

Outrageous phrasing, outrageous tone, outrageous presence, outrageous performance.

Normally, all the interruptions would drive me crazy. But this woman is so lovely and charming, I looked forward to listening to her.

I've said it before... Bethany's personality ALONG with allowing her viewers to first listen to an extended (uninterrupted) sample of the subject piece; and, then always replaying the part she just commented on - to really get an understanding on each technique - ALL Adds up to a wonderfully enriching format. It's nice to know WHY I have always loved certain Vocalists for so many years.

I hope you see this Bethany. I’ve been following you and get excited when you drop a new reaction\analysis, especially Triumph :D. I heard a song I haven’t heard in years today and I thought “you know who would love this? The Vocalyst!” The song is More Than Words by Extreme. Two men. An acoustic guitar. One of the prettiest love songs ever by a rock band. The harmonies are incredible. The flip to falsetto after the chorus so, so, so just RIGHT. I would love to see you take this one apart. I know you won’t be disappointed.

I listen to a lot of classical music and singers and when Frank Sinatra died many were saying that we had lost one of the greatest singers because of the way he used words so amazingly.

How he pronounced “R” is also heavily influenced by being raised in New Jersey/North-East

The Vocalyst does it again- revealing how the magic works, just like your brilliant piece on Ban Morrison

Lyrically it doesn’t get better than that

I have several albums and a bunch of cd’s of old blue eyes. Listening to him daily on sirius xm. Love the smoothness of his voice. I did it my way…. One of my favourite songs of all time ❤❤❤

Don’t forget that the great Paul Anka wrote this especially for Frank Sinatra adapted from the French version Comme d'habitude. He knew Sinatra’s style and phrasing resulting in a masterpiece.

Would love to hear you talk through Sydnie Christmas’s version of this. It is easily the best version I have ever heard, including Frank’s. Love your channel!

Can't tell you how excited I was to see a Sinatra video on the channel. I would highly recommend the song Just Ask by Lake Street Dive, that band seems to be right up your alley.

Seldom I've heard such a powerful, and beautiful voice. So precise, and yet so effortless, masterful. Frank Sinatra is one of a kind forever. A supreme entertainer.👌

He was also a great actor, from "From Here to Eternity" to "Guys and Dolls" (musical) to "Oceans 11" to Robin and the 7 Hoods and so many more.

CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD ✨ OLD BLUE 👀 EYES WAS A GREAT SINGER 😢 RIP IN HEAVEN FRANK SINATRA ⚡🙌 AMEN GOD 🙏🏻 BLESS YOU

Happy New year 2024 !

Yes, I was a part of that collective goosebumps. 😁

Hello from Australia 🇦🇺 I love your channel and have discovered so many new genres of music. Could I suggest INXS suicide blonde, live baby live at Wembley stadium 😊

Thank you for explaining the technique of singing to this simple music lover. I love the “engineering “ part of things. New subscriber here was wondering if you did a 3 Dog Night analysis? The group with 3 lead singers!

Such a conscious singer, with his words, his phrasing.

I love you Bethany, This song was written about his life, and how he lived it By Paul Anka. And listen to his perfect diction.

beautiful ❤

My grandfather introduced him to me, I introduced him to heavy metal. I accused him of Sinatra being boring and old, he accused me of metal being nothing but a bunch of notes rammed on a guitar. We were both wrong and we got into each other's generation of music. I miss him.

Full body chills. Every time.

He had been singing professionally for forty years when he did this. He made the most of what he had left, and was still unmatchable.

You really need to listen to his singing in the 1950s and very early sixties, when he was at his peak.

I feel that no one else should attempt to sing this song.. It is his song and his life. No young singer gave real meaning to this masterpiece

listen to the video of frank recording it was a very good year !! beautiful

Frank Sinatra was not an actor, or mobster, or celebrity. He was a crooner and loved it. That's what always comes through. The respect and love he has for his art.

Great to hear Frank again. What a voice. Here is another old one to check out. Lulu has been an International recording artist since 1964 and has been performing for decades although she is not widely known outside of the UK except as the wife of Maurice Gibb of the Bee Gees. She reprised one of her iconic songs “To Sir with Love” from the 1967 film she stared in with Sidney Poitier. In this recording, which is a KZfaq recording session from 2019, she was 70 years old and to me it sounds BETTER than the original recording. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/a810eb16utqmhWQ.html

For this particular performance, he was at the right age to sing this. I'm at that age, and this song makes me a little......emotional. "The record shows, I.....took the blows.........". If ever there was a phrase I get, it's that one. Well done Francis Albert.

"Whatever else has been said about me personally is unimportant. When I sing, I believe, I'm honest." (Interview, 1963)

Frank gets his own category, Period!

I realy enjoyed it. I hope in the new year you will react and analysis Falling in Reverse last resort reimagined

It would be so funny too me if she listened to the sid vicious version.

Loved by every age group

Frank Sinatra was like the Beatles of my parents' youth. What a gifted voice.

❤️❤️❤️

The OG.

Happy 2024, beautiful Bethany

Beth,Sinatra could slip through a note into another with ease.He had impeccable timing not to mention Phrasing and diction.He was simply the best.He worked so hard on voice technique.He swam underwater holding his breath so it could help him hold is breath singing.Rock Legends said he was the best. Elton John said”Sinatra was the best,he was and still is out on his own”.Beth,he was clever and could have CONTROL OF VOICE like nobody else.The Greatest!

59 years old... what a voice!

If you haven’t heard it yet you should check out Sid Vicious covering this song. He isn’t a great singer, at all, he does use some interesting techniques though and the video is pretty funny. He does change the lyrics up a bit and some phrases could be seen as offensive today but I honestly think your will be fascinated by it.

Espectacular Frank

This guy had a strong personality that is almost impossible to find those days.

Frank is all about singing off the beat. Just try singing along with him some time - almost impossible.

Nice job…Frank was THE best…

Frank was about 65 when he did this and his voice was raspy...listen to his songs with Nelson Riddle and his BIG BAND ORCHESTRA in the early 60's when his voice was pristine clear...
