Seeing Sinatra perform in the studio is to truly see an artist at work.
Sinatra was and still to this day, the most generous person in the entertainment industry. Having personally helped raise and donate 1Billion$ to charities and regular folks all around the world and that was from the 50s-1990s. His manager recalled only after Frank died (because he never wanted any credit or attention for it), he used to send anonymous checks for 5K, 10K and more to complete strangers bc he saw them on the news in a tragic situation. The checks had a company name on it so they never knew who sent it. When boxing champ Joe Louis became ill, Sinatra covered all of his medical bills and also paid Sammy Davis Jr's 1M+ tax bill to the IRS so he didn't lose his house. He performed at prisons for the charity Dismas House, to give the inmates a sense of their humanity back(seen in this video) . He was the first major white performer to stand up for black musicians in the 40s, when they weren't allowed to stay at certain hotels or play at some venue. He had the clout to tell those places if they weren't allowed, he wouldn't perform either. The stories go on and on. Name anyone in the business since then who could match him.
A True Mensch!
He was the last of the real singers and if you were lucky enough to grow up hearing him or parents that just spoke how beautiful his voice was he was a legend for ever those were” very good years”
I had the pleasure of meeting and speaking to Sinatra five times when I lived in New York. We were not nuddies or anything, but he always recognized me and was very friendly, introducing me to his wife Barbara once. The segment in the recording studio aleays brings tears to my eyes. Thank you, Francis.
Wonderful. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
great to be known by Sinatra. The Legend, The Voice, The Chairman. Goodness, it's amazing that you shook this man's hand....I almost want YOUR autograph.
How lucky to have them memories
That's a great story, Thomas. Thank you for sharing 😁❤️🔥🎶
I don’t believe you
I've LOVED Sinatra since I was about 13. Now I'm 69 and I still have probably over 100 of his songs on my iPod. To me he will ALWAYS be immortal. One of the highlights of my life was when my husband took me to see Sinatra live in about 1983.
He was something.❤✨
One of the greats.😊
So amazing how Frank could sound so great while smoking a cigarette.
In my opinion the greatest singer and entertainer of all time. I am so sorry I didn´t have the opportunity to see him live. What an attractive man...they just don´t make them like this anymore!
Eva, yep,, Good word,, Attractive Man
My regret to
This is brilliant to see but makes me emotional knowing he isn't with us anymore..🧡🧡😥😥
I was lucky enough to see him perform in Vegas a few times, along with another legend and a very good friend of his, Don Rickles. That's when Vegas had great shows.
Paul DG60 you are the luckiest person ever don rickles and frank is toooooooooo big in one place and time
Only ONE Frank
💖🎶
Must be great. 🇩🇪🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
CBS did a very classy and classic documentary on The Voice.
*he is simply a talent that will never be topped.*
I have the highest respect for Sinatra. May his soul rest in peace
Yes rest in peace 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Thanks for sharing these. It's a great preservation of history.
I love how he talked about music not having clarity. I wonder what he would have thought of music from the 2020s
God his voice gives me the chills. No one ever came close to Sinatra...one of a kind.
The greatest. It is a great pleasure to just listen to him speak.
What a Singer that is all I am interested in and there without a doubt he’s the best end of Story.
Frank is the love of my life since I was a child! I went to his concerts in New York
He was the greatest man in the world
The amazing magic that makes one a LEGEND is the ability to touch a life, even after his own; Sinatra’s legacy still resonates with even the youngest performer simply because of his ever- evolving relevance. His conviction was conveyed through a smiling, eye- piercing charm that was truly second to none. I admire his craftsmanship and must say that he truly deserved the title The Voice. He was an irreplaceable talent. My favorite- hands down.
Travis Jones I totally agree xx
As a singer he was in a class of his own, totally unique and the most outstanding performer of his era.
❤ Eternal Frank ❤
A vocal talent in Sinatra’s league comes by every 500 years or so.
Sinatra, coolest guy of all time
I remember seeing this broadcast and was struck how moved he was by the material. He was as moved making it as I/everybody was hearing it. What a singular talent and artist among talented artists.
They were all very good years, Mr. Sinatra...very good years indeed.
Watching Sinatra ( and drinking in every note) in the studio ( especially on the classic “ It Was a Very Good Year”) is a singular experience- he is so compelling and charismatic with his trademark shoulder shrugs and fractional head movements to accompany his deeply moving and personal vocal performance, you can see in his eyes how much he’s enjoying his absolute command of the song, the lyric, the melancholy wistfulness that he communicated better than anyone before, or since. Sinatra was, and always will be in a category of his own, as it should be.
Cool Dude
@@fluorosco
Love his voice ❤❤❤❤ so much talent..❤❤❤
This is beautiful
Thanks Greg!!! This more than I could ever thank you for.
Sinatra's what was once great about America!
We re qqq as
It’s beautiful to see actual musicians play music rather than play back recording. Love Sinatra
This was wonderful. Thank you, Greg!
It matters little whether you liked Sinatra or not, there is no disputing that he WAS the singing legend of the 20th century! A talent beyond reproach, and a pretty good guy, unlike most people realize, he gave away literally millions of dollars to help people in need, often those he never knew but just heard they needed help, and of course he helped his friends, band members, as well. A perfectionist whose talent demanded that, and in life in general also. Those days of the great talents of that era are gone and so far, very few have come forth to replace them today. We will always remember them for what they gave us then, and now, with their music recordings and live performances, now on the advanced technology equipment that enhances them to the perfection Sinatra would have condoned!.
absolutely fantastic this is a great special
So missed forever. His music lives on. How lucky we are.
I love all of the legendary Frank Sinatra muzik. Thank you so much for sharing this on TH-cam 😁❤️🔥🎶
I don't care what anyone says.
I love Frank Sinatra 💙 ❤️
Thanks for posting this.
I was only a child, (4yrs) when my dad ,who was a huge Sinatra Fan, was playing Sinatra songs. I'm positive i was a fan at that age. Love listening to him even now. Frank's voice was like silk, smooth and soothing. I love all kinds of his music . The Swinging, was a huge favourite as was, The Rat Pack. I honestly believe he was the greatest singer ever. My Opinion and I'm sticking with it. 🤠🤠😅❤️
Once a legend always A legend agree.?😀🤗😉🇦🇺🇬🇷🇦🇺
Of course, this Song.... is very beautiful. ❤️❤️❤️
9:01 sinatra explains what's wrong with modern music
Rap today....
Obsessed with Frank Sinatra!!
Yes 🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤
There is a substantial difference between other singers and Frank.
Frank was a Legend. An Immortal. He knew it. He Lived It.
Other singers act and live lives reflective of their mortality.
Love you frank
Frank:
🎼🎶 I think I swallowed a shot glass🎵🎶🎤.
this is so cool to watch. We miss this kind of documentary made at the time an artist was in action, specially the old school artists. We listen to their finished music, watch their finished films but have no idea of the human and work behind it all. I am not even a Frank's fan but I am learnig to admire him lately. I thank those who had this idea all those years ago and thnk you for posting.
I always wondered that there should have been done this kind of documentary with Gene Kelly or Fred Astaire, showing their everyday rehearsals, creations and etc.
I was 10, when the original special aired.......and probably never saw it. But I clearly remember how haunting that melody of 'It Was A Very Good Year' was. It's always been my favorite Sinatra tune. I was VERY happy when I stumbled across this clip of him recording it a few years ago. th-cam.com/video/LesuXaSkDDc/w-d-xo.html Now I finally get to see the rest of the show.
Yes, it is haunting..
The swagger, the confidence, the voice, the resilience to never give up or give in. To hold others to a higher standard - to treat black, white and everyone with equality and dignity. I salute you Mr. Sinatra. Rest well Sir...you have left us with so many wonderful memories.🎵🎵🎶🎼

Wow dude.. get some professional help but also maybe ask your doctor or more likely, your analyst to change your meds…SMH😳
@@cruiseguitar Yea I guess you are a Doctor to analyze my comments- you have no idea of what racial inequality was like back in the 50's and 60's and Frank never gave in to it...get a life and stop being a troll.
Walter was the one of the True news people of his time. Everyone else wanted to make "Fake News", as Donald Trump said. So many reporters jumped at the chance too break Frank. they are a bunch of Haters! Truth be told, Frank Sinatra was a True Black Rights, Jewish Rights, and basically American Rights Advocate. He Loved America as I do, and I Miss him. Again, I Thank You Tony.
Agree
This was really nice to see,a glimpse of the man behind the voice, his voice is unique and different, he talks when he sings,pronouncing his words so distinctively while holding a note so brilliantly.....all the greats ,including Elvis are truly missed!,thank goodness we have the memories of their legacy that they left behind !,so we can enjoy and never forget, God Bless and may they rest in peace!,with the Lord !
Make no mistake about it. Sinatra knew music. Inside and out. His ear for music was outstanding. And boy did he work for his career. The myth that the Mafia elevated his career, is just not true when u look at the facts. The mafia just owned all the venues in the decades Sinatra was popular in. That’s how he knew the Mafia. Singer Eddie Fisher knew them too, for the same reason.
i agree with all you've said about his musical gifts,,, he put life into the songs. the mafia stuff, it's real, they did anything he asked. he grew up in NJ when the mob ran the town. he was on the path to being one of them since 14. the only thing that changed it was his singing. he never cut ties with the mafia,,it doesn't work that way.
Half the world loved Frank Sinatra and half the world didn't, were critical and jealous of him as competitors are wont to be, but there is NO denying that he was an incredible musical artist, his demand for appearances and his record sales showed that, his recordings are STILL selling, while fads like Elvis, the Beatles, and other singles as well as combos gradually have faded much more. There were other great singers like Vic Damone, Perry Como, Matt Monro and a couple of others who were also great singers in that era, but most couldn't really compete with Sinatra, and FS won the limelight over others. Jack Jones is one of the few who lasted, but he needs to retire if he hasn't already, as his voice is failing him.
In the music business, you must know when to hang it up, but many still go on long after they should have stopped performing. When Sinatra had a memory lapse in singing the lyrics to a song at the end of his career, he KNEW it was time to hang it up and he did. But then, he was a perfectionist and could not stand mistakes! Others deal with their errors, laugh it off and go on, but not Sinatra!
I am comforted to know that even he does not understand what certain singers say or even when they speak I would add !!
So good. Thanks!
Frank. I'm just a kid to him , but he was the man. The Chairman of the board......FRANK.......
The Master swaying his voice in time with the orchestra .......nobody sings a song like Frank . He owns it it's his once he sings it he owns it forever......
A very good year....I seen the expression on his face. Like he was in deep thought :(
All I know is that I wish I could have hung out with the Rat pack for one glorious weekend. Three men that left an impression on entertainment that can never be measured.
I wish I was around then with him and friends...
Great song and perfect for him...very good year
Sinatra music,words, and soul. Are all concentratrate, lucky guy and great
Frank you are always in our hearts
You must have lived on mars.... get back to earth.... Frank was the King...
He was alluring and so talented .. unique, gifted, so missed!!
Frankie...old blue eyes. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Fantastic loved every second of it.
"99% of people wont read this ...... but have a fantastic day you 1%'ers !!
Great Legacy👍
Excellent piece !! FS was 50 here and in his PRIME !! What a LIFE he had !! My mother worshiped him and it helped me as a Singer that she did as I came out SWING'N on May 18th, 1963..they say I also had a Pall Mall { no filters } in my little hand too !! ( lol) Nicky D. { east bay Entertainer }..please find me here on TH-cam !
My youngest brother was born May 18, 1963! He doesn't sing, but he collects vinyl albums. He has at least 5,000 albums I'd say. Happy Birthday to u in 6 days!! 🎈🎉
@@juliebraden4865 🎉Thank you very much ✌️🎶🎶🎶
Only one Frank Sinatra till eternity ❤️
actually there is 2, Sr. and Jr, lol
@@thegreatrediscovery3496 Frank jr was good too but man nobody can beat Frank sr.! He had an abysmal amount of talent.
@@thegreatrediscovery3496 Well, Jr.is gone now too.....how shocking was that? He was still performing.
“He makes it sound as though it all happened to him.” It did, Walter. It did happen to him. And he makes us wish it happened to us.
His voice was certainly a musical 🎼 instrument ...top notch one, at that 😅
The three of them together, Sammy, Frank, and Dean, were so damn good. I don’t even listen to that kind of music. More of a Beatles/Rolling Stones man myself. But I think maybe I’ll give it a try.
Saw the movie I believe it was him.. his mother himself. The screaming teen agers..as he grew older he became more handsome in.my eyes.. He had a beautiful voice.. I didn't know him when he was very young with young girls chasing him and screaming.. my memories are when he was older and movies and hearing his voice being so mellow and you would turn on his music close your eyes and fall into another fantasy .
Along with Danny Kaye and Fred Astaire: THE TOP TALENT of the 20th Century. ... and WHAT A LIFE!!!
a unique man and talent.
😎 I did it my way! Rip blue 👀.thanks !.
Vou repetir e repetir,o maior cantor de todos os tempos,acharam pouco? Pois ainda SINATRA era um excelente ator.
Gordon Jenkins did the arrangement. That is he who is conducting the orchestra.
I have loved Sinatra all my life what a wonderful man he was to people he helped a lot of people in his time didn't want credit just loved to sing and what a voice I've put a link to something Richard Burton said it says everything I've subbed thank you for this gem
It took about 50 years of age to appreciate Mr. Sinatra and I believe that he is one of a kind, the greatest singer/entertainer ever. There are still radio programs in my area that are nothing but two hours of nothing but Sinatra. I don't know of any other singer/entertainer that you could do that with. And I think that 20-30 years ago there were 4 hours programs of nothing but Sinatra.
1st saw this entire 1965 special by tv's 60 minutes aired that awful night he went away on May 14th, 1998 at Cedars Sinai Hospital of a massive heart attack & taped it of course & still own it. A MUST SAVE! Ironically my A #1 all-time favorite number & by anyone is his '65 IT WAS A VERY GOOD YEAR filmed a top of Capitol records aka The House Sinatra Built still standing in mid Hollywood But strangely all the rat Pack was very much separated in death Frank chose a stunningly regular & humble grave in his beloved Palm springs, CA (Desert Memotrial Park) so modest most fans can't locate him. He was interred with a red scarf, bottle of Jack Daniels, pack of cigs & a full pocket of change in case he hit the slots up there. & his home also in Palm springs still-standing, for now. also strangely I was online watching Frank, jr doing interviews on youtube & people were then writing in about Frank, Jr & about his legendary dad & I just had to let all know, they had no idea that Frank, jr-(l944-2016) recently dropped dead on stage performing, also heart failure. as for Dino-(Dino Crocetti) of whom Frank thought was thee single funniest man that ever lived. Didn't reall;y booze it up as much, Henry Silva once looked at the mini bar & most was apple juice. He died around Christmas of 1995 at age 78, though looked a decade older. Chose Westwood, cem near Marilyn Monroe's famed niche
Poor & multi talented Sammy Davis, Jr smoked sooo much even Sinatra nicknamed him "Smokey" an avg of 6pks a day. He only made it to age 64 in 1990 dying of lung cancer & Smokey chose the legendary & mountainous Forest ;Lawn, cem in Glendale, CALIF.
Sinatra sang in a prison in 1965-see the black man with a razor slash on his cheek. Johnny Cash sang in Folsom Prison in 1969.
❤❤❤
Love him singing summer winds but never seen him singing it
Saw him seeing it...
@@jackiepowell7513wat show was it on
“ The Summer Wind, came blowing in.. from across the sea..❤️🎶🌈 🎙️
Love Frank Sinatra ❤! Long live Sinatra ❤!
Jazzy video 📹 😊😊😊 wonderful ❤ classic
i dunno....those dudes in Joilliet werent feeling old blue eyes all that much.
31:54 this is such a poignant, insightful observation about the arc Frank’s career took. Fits perfectly
HEY, WHERES THE SOUND???
The greatest.
Frank said why are you playing sh*t that ain't on the sheet music 😂😂😂
was anyone part of the "cheering section" at the recording studio reading this right now (for "It was a very good year?) .... or know anyone who was?
Frank was 50 and Dean was 48. Dean was making fun of the way Frank bounces up and down, lol. Dean, what a card.
It wasn't a coincidence that the three all died primarily of cigarette smoking damages to their lungs and hearts. Being "cool" included killing yourself. They were so stinky talented, Frank was the Voice and what an actor. I watched him play Maggio against late last night, what an incredible film "From Here to Eternity" Lancaster, Kerr, and Montgomery Cliff with Frank made one of the best films ever made.
He was the voice. The chairman of the board. And blue eyes. Never forget this great man Sinatra. Love him. Never forget this great singer. My Hero. Love you Mr. Sinatra
Rest in peace.
Bobby Paluga dude..all of em passed 75..not to bad for a chain smoking pack..
Yes sometimes being cool comes with a price. But whiskey and smoking helps with that’s manly raspy voice. I bet you James dean and Marilyn Monroe wouldn’t be as big as they have become since they died young. Forever remaining young in our imagination. Now look at that fool De Niro. Destroying his legacy with his recent movies and political garbage.
@Janetta Martin well..considering these guys smoked like chimneys..id say that's a full life..
Joe Butera Sinatra was 82 when died....That’s of old age...
🥂💐🌹👏☀️❤️
It did die Mr Sinatra, long time ago, I’m sorry to report........it sure did die......
F
❤❤❤❤👍👍👍👍👍
“When I was seventeen, I drank some very good beer...”
Does anyone know what type of reverb was used for his voice on the recording of "It was a very good year"?
Double 14 Redux 93 bit.
Those back cracks are great
Why is he shaking his head at 12:40?
Do you mean the "fine old kegs" line? If so, I think he was unsure about the way it came out, like "fine old-a kegs".
Ugh! Nancy”s attitude is not nice. Frank was having fun with his friends sit down and enjoy the company.
