@@portapotty69 because they had to be. There wasn't any other option than to be perfect. It's like the Scientists back in the 1800s and early 1900s. They had to do all the math long hand. They didn't have a choice.
I started crying when " the Chairman of the board" started to sing about the Autumn of the years. I'm at or near that point now. Thinking of what I messed up. But, I try to put Life into perspective.
I was a young black man of 15 when this song first came out. Now I am in the winter of my years, and looking back, they too were very good. Loved your reaction to this song.
I can honestly state that in the twenty trillion comments I've read-spanning all manner of subjects-this is the first to genuinely warm my soul. I was very close to tearing up. Thank you. ♥
I've loved that song since, forever. I was 18 yrs old when it came out. And now, I'm in the winter of my years, maybe late fall. It's a song that makes you remember, no matter if you lived it or not. Be 73 tomorrow.
I would argue that this is Sinatra's finest recording. Sinatra was riding his third wave of popularity when he recorded this in 1965. He could work with the best musicians, orchestrators, and arrangers, Gordon Jenkins leading the orchestra here. "It Was A Very Good Year" is an excellent tune and lyric--perfectly suited to Sinatra's ballad style. Many years ago, a local radio DJ where I lived recounted that he was in the studio control room when this was recorded. At the end of the tune, everyone in the control room immediately knew that Sinatra had "nailed it" and that it would be a big hit--and it was, and still is.
Sinatra was an absolute perfectionist in the recording studio. He demanded perfect tone and phrasing from himself and the same from his arrangers, musicians, engineers. Graham Nash of Crosby Stills & Nash gave an interview where he said he got into rock music to push aside the music of Sinatra. But years later he watched a documentary of Frank in the recording studio and was in absolute awe of Sinatra's genius and perfectionism.
Thank you for playing my favorite video of my favorite Frank Sinatra song. It IS jarring to see him go from singing with so much emotion to flipping the switch back to professional singer asking about the recording details like length of song. But he was just that good, to make the listener feel the emotions of the song whether or not he was feeling it himself.
True story: My mom passed, and I was driving her car, picking up lunch for my wife and me as we began cleaning out her house. I put on the radio for distraction, just to stop thinking. Well, rather than the radio, the CD player came on. It started playing Sinatra's "My Way", which those who know, is an end-of-life reflective song which he recorded toward the end of his career. The song didn't start at the beginning, and I beat myself up to this day because I don't recall which verse he was singing when it started playing. But I know my mom was telling me don't feel bad for her, she lived her life, enjoyed her life, and I needed to do the same. The last advice she gave me - from the other side.
I found this late to your posting - just began exploring these music reaction videos - but LOVED your reaction & appreciation of this song ... & I'm old enough to remember when Frank did it -- But I was REALLY young then
More than half his life was over, and it's "looking back" time, the Autumn of his life, the leaves beginning to fall, and the dead of winter will be approaching.
The older I get (I'm in my 50's) the more this song seems relevant to me and i must confess i cannot watch it without my eyes getting a little bit moist. Written by Ervin Drake I do think it's one of the most beautiful songs ever written.
I started listening to Sinatra in 1964, at age 12. I view this album as a masterpiece, as it touches the emotions in a way that few other singers of his generation could replicate. I've been listening to roughly 30 Sinatra recording sessions in which it became very evident to me that he out much work into each recording. He did repeated takes until he got the song where he wanted it. He also brought humor to the sessions and the musicians clearly liked him and respected what he was trying to do. So, when we listen to a Sinatra album cut, we might not often realize just how much work went into the song. He often made suggestions to the arrangers at these sessions, especially about tempo, resulting in multiple takes. He was dedicated to producing quality music and September of my Years was simply brilliant. The Gordon Jenkins arrangements were perfect.
Frank is brilliant. This one of my favorite songs, of any genre, any artist, any era. Frank just seems to tell a story with every song he sings. I learned Frank’s music from my dad, who has passed away. He gave me his collection of Frank’s vinyl, which I listen to a lot. ❤❤
One of my favorite songs. My son, who is now 32, loved this song in his late teenage years. He said to me one day, "When I am 17, maybe it will happen to me." Now he is almost 35 and I am 60. The autumn of my years. Love Frank! Summer Wind and New York New York are great. Anything he dies us great.
Old school indeed! This was literally my daddy's music, as he played trumpet with big bands before WW2 and ran restaurants after. The Rat Pack were regulars at all his places, his pals. I came along a bit late to remember meeting some of them, but there were stories. But that, India, is one of the deepest rabbit holes you will ever find, following the Chairman of the Board into all the connections. Do enjoy the songs and acting. Dude was extraordinarily talented, which is how he made it look so danged easy!
Yes ! It's that good & you are a very smart young lady. Respect from, Co. I am in a early winter sort of thing & I remember the great radio days. Thanks for what you do. It makes a difference & God must have great plans for you. Talent !
They were recording it at the time. This is my favorite....I see this as my song when time is over for me. Hauntingly beautiful 😍 Girl, I love you for your music choices. Keep Sinatra coming! 💖
Before the Beatles there was Elvis and before Elvis there was Sinatra. Try "Summer Wind" by Frank Sinatra and then listen to the horns in "Hot Fun in the Summertime" by Sly and the Family Stone for a call back Summer Wind.
wheelinthesky300 you are correct chronologically. I was referring to being the biggest stars in the world in their own careers. Though Sinatra was still cranking out hits late into the 1960s. Do be do be do.
Sinatra outlasted both Elvis and the Beatles. The latter two had careers that spanned only a half decade in terms of their best and most popular work. Sinatra had his first #1 hit in the early 1940's and his last #1 in the early 1970's.
It is amazing to watch him. He can sing with all that emotion and give you the feeling through the song then just switch it off when he isn't singing. Even in the pauses in the song for the music. He doesn't have to work on it.
When I grew up in the 50s I would hear Frank's music throughout the house my uncle's would play Frank's albums while he shaved using magic shave ,it really stanked up the house but I grew up on Frank's music and movies my favorite robin and the 7 hoods great movie thanks for the memories 😊❤
I hope you know just how FAMOUS he was in his day !Also was a great actor! Made many movies ! He was known for the way he would phrase the words when he sang !
Just really segments of his life. When he was 17 thinking about having fun with the ladies...at 21 actually having fun with the ladies. At 35 he is in the middle of his life, and now he 's probably 65 looking back at his life.. And those years...were very good years. And now, he is in the autumn of his life ,,,getting towards the end of his life. My all time favorite song by Frank Sinatra,,,,believe it or not....my father could sing..and sang just like him,,kid you not ,,back in the 60's he sang at my uncle and aunts wedding.
So wonderful to see a young person react as I do to Sinatra. She get's it and will get it even more when she's accumulated several more decades! Bravo.
One of the greatest singers of the 20th century Frank Sinatra who in an interview said the only singer he would pay money to hear sing was Karen Carpenter 🎤😍
Brava 👏 You allowed yourself to feel and appreciate the lyrics and the music. Orchestra w ole blue eyes!! He's the Real Chairman of the Board OG! Great reaction and commentary!! 👍👍👍
This is my favorite Sinatra song. I would listen to this in the basement sitting on top of the dryer waiting for my clothes to finish washing. I would sing along loudly. I was like 10 years old.
Can you believe that when he was young and wanted to go into the music industry, he was told by record companies that he should hang up the idea because he couldn't sing? His passion for music and his impeccable sense of timing, along with perseverance and practice. Wow...did they ever get it wrong. The man could sing. 😉😁
Never was a big Sinatra fan. Though huge jazz connoisseur. But this song was one I could relate to when I was young. 17 teen was one of my best years in life 67 summer of love.
Everyone is different but I'm a little surprised that you said that you're not a huge Sinatra fan yet a jazz connoisseur. Although strictly speaking Sinatra wasn't a jazz singer, his ability to swing prodigiously, superb phrasing and his command and artistry in other essential aspects that make jazz great generally mean many jazz fans and in particularly musicians are great admirers of Sinatra. Miles Davis famously said "if you want to learn how to phrase a melody, listen to Sinatra". Lester Young was another big fan of Sinatra. I'm a saxophonist that has worked in various musical forms throughout my career , Jazz being the one that, although not the most financially rewarding, the idiom that I by far find the most personal and gives me the most fulfilling experience. Anyway just a few thoughts and again music is a totally subjective art form and we all respond individually to various forms and performances.
my way and new york new york get all the juice from late in his career, but i've always thought this was his best song he ever recorded. the sense of longing, nostalgia, the picture he paints and the recognition that he is mortal are powerful.....and the older you get--i'm 71--the more meaning it has.
Frank was the man. I had the pleasure of seeing him live in the mid-late 1980's in Reno. This was a real surprise, India, you checking out 'Ol Blue Eyes. I recommend, Fly Me to the Moon, The Best is Yet to Come, My Way, Come Fly with Me, One for My Baby, , and of course - New York, New York...the list goes on and on. He's a legend. Check out his live performances, including anything from "Sinatra at the Sands (with Count Basie)", and for something really different, check out his "Duets" albums, including, The Lady Is A Tramp w/ Luther Vandross, or "What Now My Love" w/ Arethe Franklin.
You nailed it, India! Love your reactions, and your appreciation of this particular studio recording session of one of the greatest popular male singers ever was so satisfying! Thank you for your depth and your heart! 💗🌸😊 Yes to more Frank! 👍
When this guy was ON he was untouchable. There was a reason that women screamed and fainted when he debuted. I remember near the end of his life people would make fun of him when he would forget lyrics but, the guy is a legend and I respect him. Sinatra did record the same songs at different stages of his life this being one of them. There is another song called "All or Nothing at All" which he sings in a very morose, sad way. Sinatra had the reputation of being a womanizer and was involved with Ava Gardner who supposedly taught him a lesson by walking out on him which got him to record another version of All or Nothing at All. I'll include the link here: th-cam.com/video/CdrgRNlCSGs/w-d-xo.html
There is a story told by a comedian - I don’t remember who - who was at a performance when Frank forgot the lyrics of a song. As Frank faltered, someone in the audience stood up and yelled, “We love you, Frank!” It was enough for Frank to gather himself, and the story goes that he finished the song and the concert flawlessly.
![American reacts to Posts That Prove American's Think That Only They Exist [part 2]](/img/n.gif)
And it is all recorded live - imagine how good everyone else in that room had to be in order to be in that orchestra/studio.
No Pro Tools back then! There's just no denying, the players from that era were cut from a different cloth than the bedroom producers of today.
MAGIC

Summer Wind is probably my favorite Sinatra song. I’m very old now and look back at my life since there is not much to look forward to.
Try Frank Sinatra singing Strangers in the Night. Beautiful!

Always been my favourite Sinatra song - it oozes atmosphere and his presence shines through.
Takes me back too.
Frank was the ultimate pro and a true connoisseur of the music. He practiced his singing, he could read musical scores, and he took no BS.
he couldn't read sheet music. he did it all by ear. when he turned the sheet over he was keeping the lyrics in front of him.

My Favorite Frank Sinatra Song
What a picture of life old blue eyes
Thus is a master piece.
Frank interpreted songs like no one else. My favorite YOU AND ME WE WANTED IT ALL is classic & the arrangement will make u cry. Gorgeous!
Such a wonderful classic singer. I love all of his, he is a singing storyteller.
I really loved, ‘Love’s been Good To Me,’ by Frank.
"Storytelling." Nailed it.
One of my favorite songs. My son, who is now 32, loved this song in his late teenage years. He said to me one day, "When I am 17, maybe it will happen to me." Now he is almost 35 and I am 60. The autumn of my years. Love Frank! Summer Wind and New York New York are great. Anything he dies us great.

I am in a early winter sort of thing & I remember the great radio days.
Thanks for what you do. It makes a difference & God must have great

The reaction to a perfect performance of a perfect song with perfect orchestration by a woman who knows how to listen.
This was used in a very good montage scene in The Sopranos.
Right on the money in The Sopranos scene! Beautiful Song!
Ya on a time travel baby
That's Life by Sinatra is another great classic.
This was on the Sopranos soundtrack as well.
Now you know why "old blue eyes" is known as the chairman of the board, the greatest singer of the 20th century,
Chairman of the Board!
theres not a lot to touch him in the 21st so far !! gasping rasping put on impressionists
I always thought don rickles was hilarious impersonating Frank
Not sure he was better than Crosby or Fitzgerald....but such a talent.
Classic and timeless, rap will never be remembered 60 yrs later like FRANK SINATRA!!!
But now the days are short, I'm in the autumn of the year... - when you reflect on your life and make the most of what little time is left.
Old Blue Eyes...yummy....Love, love, love him and the all 'The Rat Pack'
I remember this. I was very little but it sounded so beautiful and intriguing to me. Thanks for doing this song! I had forgotten about it.
No one will ever be that smooth again!!✌

My parents loved him. He had such a Professional and Broadway flair in his music style. He was Mr New York .
This is an awesome song, awesome recording!
Enjoy your videos as always
So haunting... Thank you for this 💙💙💙💙
Cycles and Summerwind are two more great songs by Frank. So happy you did this one💞💞💞

This takes me back to listening to WCFL in the 60s out of Chicago. Alot of Sinatra. So smooth, so classic.
Just perfect. Sinatra is irreplaceable and no one ,absolutely no one is as good vocally . The chairman of board for eternity.
One of the greatest artists of the 20th century for sure. Frank recorded so many iconic songs.
I hope you know just how FAMOUS he was in his day !Also was a great actor! Made many movies ! He was known for the way he would phrase the words when he sang !
He’s an American Icon.
Always loved this song tells the spring , Autumn and winter of a persons life .
I used to do my weekend chores playing my mom's. Frank Sinatra album. Made the work fly by. Try summer wind !!!
That's class. Sinatra was the original pop idol with girls screaming in the audience (when he was much younger and thin as a rail).
