His “Songs for Only the Lonely” was put in a time capsule to capture the isolation and loneliness of modern men/women. The entire Lp is a work of Art…One for My Baby, Angel Eyes, Blues in the Night, Gone with the Wind, Willow Weep for Me and More. It is brilliant…
pianist Bill Miller is always owed half the credit on this tune...without his lines underneath Frank, this never reaches its heights. The guy was simply one of the best to ever do it.
Elvis Presley was the king of rock n' roll, but undeniably Frank Sinatra was the king of traditional classic pop music. No one could interpret a song like Sinatra. This live rendition of "One For My Baby" is sensational. Way to go Frank! Gone now over 20 years and still very much missed. A true entertainment legend.
Best performance of this amazing song on the website. Perfect balance of drunk, hurt and bar stool philosopher. Frank does it all and pulls out the big vocals whenit feels right.
As he said, he started out playing to crowds and not so big crowds in Bars and Grills, etc. Remember that in the 1950's it was illegal to buy alcohol by the bottle and take it home. Ergo, if you wanted a belt you went down to your favorite neighborhood bar. He had seen a lot of that scene, so knew how to "describe" in a song!! And no one did that better!!!!
Undoubtedly one of the best blues songs ever! It’s not traditional blues, but Frank’s singing makes the listener sad and feeling blue. He was the coolest and one of the greatest Americans ever. His greatness transcends his singing, as he did many magnanimous things for many organizations, political and social causes and for individuals, which he didn’t care to be recognized for. He decided they were the right things to support and he did! Deeply missed!
This has always been my favorite of Sinatra's several versions of "One for My Baby." When he died in 1998, ABC's "Nightline" devoted a whole program to him, and they ended it with this magnificent clip. I saw it then and it has haunted me ever since.
Love frank singing this song,others have sang this song but not as good as Frank👌💯👌😘🌷💗👍✌️🌷rest in peace frank god bless you,your not forgotten amen 🌹💗✌️😘
Check out his incredibly intimate 1962 performance of this Harold Arlen/Johnny Mercer classic at Royal Festival Hall, with only a quartet behind him in this huge hall! It's on youtube. Frank sang this at every live show as long as he was performing.
Frank Sinatra is got to get the best thing that ever happened to the world..one of a kind for sure...may God bless his soul rest in peace ol blue eyes..
How many of you have been out at a club and they ended the night with Frank and this song? 1977 Clockers Tick Tock, Wheat Rd. Buena NJ . . . DJ Arnie . . . . "Make it one for my baby, and one more for the road"
Next to old blue eyes New York , New York? As one of my personal favorites? This one has been for this native Bronx born guy? Another... Sinatra was and is a King in his style of his music. Frank maybe in heaven but his great classics like this lives on timelessly with no end here on earth. We were all so lucky to have the Jersey native grace us all . And that's one for a lifetime.
Sinatra's finest rendition of this classic song of love gone wrong, also it's superbly arranged between the quiet confiding piano and the subtle orchestration.
I’ve always said, the two greatest entertainers to walk this earth were Elvis Aron Presley and Francis Albert Sinatra. This performance proved half my case.
This is truly *his* own; no one else could have delivered it so credibly. Thanks, Ol' Blue Eyes, for the beautiful music. And thanks to you, sinatrafan66, for uploading the video.
I've posted this on other song so forgive me if you've seen it but, I wonder what it was like the day this man woke up and realized that he was the greatest entertainer ever.
according to the biographies, apparently he had the confidence since he was in the Harry James days. It must feel good. (or frustrating at first because no one saw him then.)
Guys! I need the longer version of this video which Mr Sinatra talks with the audience, it was supposed to be around 5 min. Actually there was one in TH-cam but apparently it disappeared. I checked Spotify and the other shits. I would be soooo happy, if someone could help me out. Thanks!
Even eight years after you posted this, I have to give you credit for one of the best comments ever - "as if he became one with the song". Yes, just yes - the essence of Sinatra.

They'll still be calling Sinatra a legend 100 years from today and this is why.....

Amen

If Frank Sinatra wasn't one of the coolest cats that ever walked the planet i don't know who is.
This is my first channel sorry for the late reply I appreciate it my friend.
He's the Hardest cat not the coolest
You got that right on the money.
Dean Martin had it better

Bobbnoxious I hope it doesn't haunted you, just make a great company for you 👌🏼
I remember watching it on TV. He was my all time favorite singer. I love him and Dean Martin and Perry Como.
@@davidmckinney6577 Ditto, No Better!! Never will be Another! Thanks!
Masterful. This song can't be sung by a young man.
No one will ever sing that song as perfectly as he does. No one.
Damn it . . . now THAT is how you sell a song; Frank the actor and singer simultaneously.
His tiny pause before, "episode" is perfect. Conversational, as if searching for the right word.
The class and style of the best singer all times.....
I love this older and wiser performance by Frank. You know he's been down that Road more than once.
We actually lived while that man walked the earth. If nothing else, we can always claim that. What a life. What a loss. There will never be another.
That is one talented-ass pianist. Serious anticipation there.
I love you, Frank.
Bill Miller FTW!
I was a Bartender for many years in NYC…this song resonates with me…from both sides of the bar….
😂😂Beautifully and poetically stated my friend!
Excellent, this song was originally written for and done by Fred Astaire, but it was Sinatra who knocked it out of the park!
yes, Astaire was pretty damn good as well. Sinatra grabbed a lot of his materials and the tuxedo look etc
don't forget the great Johnny Mercer wrote it
Mercer wrote the lyrics, but the melody was by Harold Arlen, the genius who also did the music for "The Wizard of Oz" among many other projects.
Great performance, for a great Song from the best Entertainer ever.
1970 London...Rare Gordon Jenkins arrangement....He lives the song...Excellent
Damn when those strings come in. Magical...big...dramatic...and beautiful.
I’d know a Gordon Jenkins, arrangement anywhere!😊❤
The best singer all time....nobody like him.....simply NOBODY!!
The greatest song ever written. Sung by the greatest crooner ever. Just pure joy to listen to this.
Just rediscovered this gem! Chills down my spine is an understatement!
the best version of this song by the finest exponent of song.
Love frank singing this song,others have sang this song but not as good as Frank👌💯👌😘🌷💗👍✌️🌷rest in peace frank god bless you,your not forgotten amen 🌹💗✌️😘
The King of Cool.
It's Sinatra's Best saloon song nobody could sing it as good as Frank it belongs to Sinatra
WE will never see the like of his talent again... his songs mean so much to me..
A great loss for the world
Check out his incredibly intimate 1962 performance of this Harold Arlen/Johnny Mercer classic at Royal Festival Hall, with only a quartet behind him in this huge hall! It's on youtube. Frank sang this at every live show as long as he was performing.
"I could tell you a lot, but it's not, in the gentlemen's coode"
This performance leaves me speechless.
Frank Sinatra is got to get the best thing that ever happened to the world..one of a kind for sure...may God bless his soul rest in peace ol blue eyes..

Frankie y Roberto El Polaco Goyeneche , dos cantantes unidos por el estilo y absolutamente insuperables!!!

What can I say but a huge thank you for this clip. Wow what a performance.
Dog gone it!! That Gordon Jenkins arrangement of this with Frank’s voice just kills me every time!!!
Love this tune.
Sinatra's finest rendition of this classic song of love gone wrong, also it's superbly arranged between the quiet confiding piano and the subtle orchestration.
Gordon Jenkins did a brilliant job on this for Frank!
The Man the Mob frank the chairman of the board
What a Sensation... Whenever i hear this song from him i have mixed feelings... These Voices will never come back to life... Thx for posting it
A combination of singing and acting that has to be seen to be believed.
100%! I’ve watched this dozens of times and I always get chills. He was like no other!
I like this one best.
What a performing¡¡¡ just the best ever¡¡¡
The absolute GOAT
Superb. Sounds like a Gordon Jenkins arrangement... No one does it better.
O melhor de todos, amo a voz dele.

Me encanta esta rareza… piano melodía … Sinatra
I never knew he didn't smoke....
Yeah, great arrangement, great delivery.

The one & only
La più bella voce di tutti i tempi mi manca tanto ma fortunatamente ho una grande scorta dei suoi dischi e posso riascoltarlo quando voglio.
Jamás habrá alguien que lo iguale, por algo era la voz.
Phenomenal performance. Period ( as they say in the U.S)
A true artist
Those strings!
Unforgettable man n memories
Kaboukie theater at its best. Hands down.
I remember the tributes to Sinatra that night replaced what would have been tributes to the "Seinfeld" series finale.
Definitely Gordon Jenkins. I haven't heard any other concert recordings with this arrangement.
It's one his greatest
There are some Nelson Riddles strings and Ala Nathin Coles Stardust strings motifs. GET IT!
good song i listen to it from time to time
What an ending.
CLASSIC SINATRA! Non better than "Old Blue Eyes."
This would be Frank's concert in Royal Albert Hall, London, 1970, just before his retirement. The great Bill Miller at the piano.
I've posted this on other song so forgive me if you've seen it but, I wonder what it was like the day this man woke up and realized that he was the greatest entertainer ever.
according to the biographies, apparently he had the confidence since he was in the Harry James days. It must feel good. (or frustrating at first because no one saw him then.)
Alone ........
The voice
When he goes. Mm that’s class
A million lonely sunrises
Why on earth would anyone vote this down?
Guys! I need the longer version of this video which Mr Sinatra talks with the audience, it was supposed to be around 5 min. Actually there was one in TH-cam but apparently it disappeared. I checked Spotify and the other shits. I would be soooo happy, if someone could help me out. Thanks!
Maybe a version from 1991
