I was in the studio that night. I had been touring with Frank as his opening act for just a little over a year at that time. I toured with him for almost 14 years and was a pall bearer at his funeral and spoke at his funeral. I witnessed so many great moments and spent so many nights with him staying up till dawn. This night was so special because all my life I had heard his recordings and now I was watching him make a recording. Ahh it was a joy to behold.
Thanks Peter. I'm still doing the show around the country. "The Man Who Made Sinatra Laugh" It's a lot of fun with stand up comedy of course and a lot of stories and photos and videos to authenticate the stories.@@peterflorino9692
Frank’s the only singer who ever lived that could make you feel the lyrics from your soul. Every ballad he sang of lost love he made me feel the emotions and pain of the words. My kids would ask me why do I allow myself to tear up listening. Why listen if it makes you so sad? My answer was, it’s not the sadness I’m reacting to as much as it’s the feelings that touch me deep inside when I listen. The beauty of the orchestration, timing, production, it goes on.
I’ve loved Frank for most of my life. Growing up hearing my mom play him on the stereo in the 60s gave me a great appreciation in music. His music spoke to me on many levels. In my teens my peers did not understand and I was made fun of for my passion in the music that touched me so emotionally. His music kept me grounded and probably alive as he had a song for life experiences. I was so lucky to see him live three times. It was spiritual ❤️. I miss him. I’ve found many great ones to listen to these days but the depth of Sinatra’s emotional experience in a song I have yet to hear replicated. He was an honest and genuine singer. I’m 57.
You hit it right on the head, Peter, that's exactly why I have been listening to Sinatra my whole life, his singing evokes feelings in me that no other singer can do to that degree. I have other favorite singers, of course, but no one is quite Sinatra's equal!
Im 82 now. As a teenager, my mom had a portable 45 player. She stacked it with Frank's records. I heard those songs almost every day, never paid any attention to them. Then one day, I'm alone in my room with the radio on. No idea why, but a song got my attention. I started to hear the words and Frank's voice strarted to resonate deep into me. I listened closely to it and then when i heard the ending I forever appreciatged Sinatra . Song was "Guess I'll hang my tears out to dry". Lyrics said that this guy lost his girl, couldn't get over her, until a friend told him to "just forget about her". Then he sings, "so i gave that treatment a try. Strangly enough i got along without her, then one day she passed me right by, oh well, I guess I'll hang my tears out to dry". His sad voice, the music, timing, arrangement got me. I thought to myself that someday I want to meet a girl that could make me feel that deeply in love. It took another 20 years but I finally met her.
You're certainky entitled to your opinion, and I started listening to Frank as a black 8 year-old kid. Much respect for his abilities & his respect for all people, regardless of race. However, as for flat-out musical chops, Nat King Cole was the king, AND, he was an exceptional piano player to boot. Props to both.
D Me I agree about Nat King Cole. It’s not Christmas without him singing the The Christmas Song. I’ve actually swung my vote to Freddie Mercury. I’m 67 and just discovered him. Now I’m addicted. Stay safe.
@@patriciabilinkas3911 Thanks. Freddie Mercury? Hell of a performer, but so very different from Mr. Cole. I'm 60-plus too, so at least we've been there. Peace.
Actually it was arranged by Joe Parnello who was also on piano. QJ did co-arrange the title track L.A. is my Lady for Frank Sinatra. Quincy Jones's main jobs on the LA is My Lady album were as producer and conductor for his label Qwest Records.
Your so right, the songs just flow from his mouth. No strain or stress just the beautiful sounds of his voice. Grew up listening too Frank, my Dad was a massive fan, he could sing Frank's songs really well.
Frank couldn'd read music, it was all by ear! That's one of the reasons he was so great! Did you know that he could clip an 1/8th of a note from a song while singing the song to up the tempo?
I was very fortunate to be invited to a recording session of Sinatra's a couple of times, long ago, as a musician, it meant the world to me -- Sinatra was a perfectionist and knew EXACTLY how to fill the song with the appropriate emotions! His live recording of "Stormy Weather" was one never to be forgotten! And Quincy Jones is a special artist also. Sinatra: what a voice, what an artist, they just don't make them like him anymore! (In his recording sessions, you can really see how he feels the emotion of the song, with his body language. More so than in concert with these emotional songs.) When you must consider the audience, sometimes we cannot put the emotion into it as much, you just don't dare. At home, I sometimes have to stop and shed a tear while singing, because the lyric reminds me of something OR, it's so beautiful a song it gets to you -- you can't do that while performing -- or recording for that matter.)
Wow. I never thought of that. All these years of listening to Frank interpreting ballads so beautifully that I seem to cry, because of the beauty of how his feelings of the lyrics would come thru to me. And you’re right, I haven’t felt that same passion in his live performances. I had the pleasure of seeing him 7 times in person in Chicago. Every performance brilliant.
Arrangement by Q. Frank left him his gold pinky ring which mr jones wears with pride. The reality of Frank's turn around in the early 60's was almost entirely due to his picking Jones' to handle his arrangements and recreating new music from old standards. Two genius's met. Q got his music education in France and played at least 6 instruments.
Mr. Sinatra always pulls back from when I'm down in the dumps. I just lost my brother and I sit and listen. to Me. Sinatra. I wish I could let Nancy and Tina know how much their father has pulled me through the most difficult times in my life. God Bless you Mr. Sinatra
Wolfgang what good taste you have. Say what you want about Sinatra but there was something very addictive about his voice. Forget about which singer had the best range but respect the singer who "owned" so many songs like Frank did. Bravo Sinatra!
My favorite cut on the LP...I never tire of it. It’s amazing that this all star band just rocking Q’s outstanding arrangements has the ballad as the best or close to the best performance. Hard to beat Sinatra with a ballad at any age..
@@helaina400 Do you know which musician did?? I know several arrangements were done by Frank Foster....Of the ones Q didn't do he oversaw who did..He was their leader..
This was quite wonderful until the band kicks in, far too many licks. Should have just been Frank, a piano, and maybe strings. Gordon Jenkins could have done wonders with this, Nelson too.
Absolutely ❤️✊⭐️ I was blessed by the man on October 28th,1988 at Bally’s Reno 🥳Front row as FS,Jr. was in charge of a FANTASTIC 40 piece orchestra 90 minutes of NON STOP POWER OF ENTERTAINMENT! Frank was going to be turning 73 that December 12th and he was JUST MAGNIFICENT ⭐️ I was 25 on that magical night and will never forget the TREMENDOUS STANDING OVATION when he first took the stage like a LION💎👀 I could see from my seat “ the wings” and saw Jilly and Sinatra’s silhouette with the smoke from his last drag and his head go straight back from taking a shot of JD as we know that was his favorite ⭐️ when he finished with an encore of “Mack the knife” ⚡️ANOTHER STANDING OVATION 👏 ( packed house of 3,000) I WAS THE VERY FIRST PERSON HE CAME TO as he bent down for a good 7 seconds or so ( it was like slow motion) and the stage lights hit his 👀 eyes! I can’t even describe how unreal BLUE they were! Absolutely wonderful memories and beautiful in my heart ❤️ THANK YOU Mr. Sinatra I told him as he squeezed my hand with a powerful grip , I gave back to him “ MARVELOUS “ he told me! I’ve been making my living singing/entertainer since 1985 and Frank Sinatra was my first vocal coach as my mother Mary worshiped the man all her life and had every album from Capitol to reprise and I studied all of it! I came out swinging with a Pall Mall Red in my little hand in 63’ I always gave her credit for that although we would never have a good relationship, especially after her and Nick Sr. divorced in 1972. 🌈I’m grateful 🥲
GOOD POINT. THERE MAY HAVE BEEN OTHERS WITH A BETTER VOICE BUT THE PHRASING AND TIMING? I DONT THINK THERE WAS ANYONE WITH MORE IMPECCABLE TIMING THAN FRANCIS ALBERT SINATRA .
this song must be heard closed eyes... What wonderful voice! When i listen this song,i don't know why but tears drop on my cheeks,my heart beats softly,and my mind or my soul goes somewhere,but i don't where exactly. What i know,is that wherever this place is,i am so quietful.....i don't want to come back. Please,be kind with me,because I'm french,and my english is far to be perfect..... Do you know that this song was written by Michel Legrand ? A great composer..... Enjoy this song ever and ever...it's like a miracle...'
for the last time after listening to the song on a daily basis, i will say again that he has the best recording of anyone. i like tony, but this is not his song
Oh boy. Mr. Sinatra.. the one the only.. I've heard several versions of this song and loved all of them.. but Frank's version is the only one that gets my eyes to 💦 water.
Ya! That beautiful piano and the whole arrangement! Perfection! I am 54 now and remember all those other versions too! James Ingram and Patti Austin...beautiful words!!! Life, " The Music"......our SOULS, NEVER END! God bless us all~*
I agree, but then, Alan and Marilyn Bergman's lyrics always seem to touch a soft spot in me, their lyrics always told a story, so down-to-earth and about things we all feel at some point in our lives! Of course, no one can put the touch on this kind of song with the emotion in their voice like Sinatra does, just hits you right in those old heart-strings somehow! You feel his pain, his emotion, and the lyrics really MEAN something to you! I think nearly everyone has loved and lost at least one time in their lives or feels other emotions these lyrics and tunes evoke in one's soul. Just superb!
The Best of the Best at every position on this classic album! 1984' " The Best of Everything" Q' at the post! Phil Ramone, Producer! SINATRA had it all his whole career! 50 years on Top! " The Voice" ....indeed~*
I remember back in the '80's walking down the streets of New York City with Nancy Magauran when I saw a limo with a plate tag :"NYC 1". I knew it was Mr. Sinatra's limo and sure enough, who comes out the back stage door walking to his limo but the Chairman of the Board himself. So I just waved to him and said " Hi Frank" as I walked by his limo as he was getting in. He waved back and said " Hi". My only encounter with the greatest crooner of the 20'th century. RIP Mr. Sinatra.
The only other person I've heard put such elegant emotion in song was Nancy Wilson, the rest have reasons to be placed behind these two, although there are some singers of Sinatra's era that came close, but not before or since and probably never will be. There's a way to put emotion in your songs that doesn't make it too maudlin or overly dramatic, and Sinatra was master of that ability.
Does anyone remember that guy who sang, "...puts on Sinatra and starts to cry..." That's why! There will never be another like the Voice! There is something incredibly nostalgic about this song, like two lovers about to leave each other and want to have something to remember each other by.
I'm 64 now, and since I was as young as 5 (as best I can remember), this man's singing, with the magnificent musical talent supporting him, and his unique style of delivering each of them, have always touched my heart. Bless you Mr. S. (Salnotra - J.S.)
Frank sang a song casually yet always showcased his amazing rich baritone. His timing on rhythm seemed out of synch, but it was all practiced and nuanced actually, to the accompaniment. The reprise of the section “I know”-pure Frank and delicious. Miss him, a true gift to our country of his talent.
This cut shows in 1984, Sinatra could still take a relatively fresh ballad and make the definitive version of it. He sounds so much fresher and alive than he did on '82's "She Shot Me Down" album. Here he truly gives this song the Sinatra treatment, where he internalizes the lyrics, makes the words sound like they're coming out of his mouth for the first time ever. The band Quincy Jones assembled for this punctuates it perfectly.
How do you keep the music playing? How do you make it last? How do you keep the song from fading too fast? How do you lose yourself to someone? And never lose your ways How do you not run out of new things to say? And since we're always changing How can it be the same? And tell me how year after year You're sure your heart will fall apart Each time you hear his name I know the way I feel for you It's now or never The more I love the more that i'm afraid That in your eyes I may not see forever.. Forever... If we can be the best of lovers Yet be the best of friends If we can try with everyday to make it better as it grows With any luck, then I suppose The music never ends The music The music never ends Never ends
Love the song but I wasn't so lucky as for my love relationship that I was in ❤️🕊️❤️ the music did stop 💯 for those that did work out let me tell you that's a true blessing 🌹🌟🌹
So beautiful...so moving. The musicians in this session -the best in the business- applaud at the end. They realize they've been a vital part of something wonderful and unique. The music never ends.
At this moment Siriusly Sinatra satellite radio is playing HOW DO YOU KEEP THE MUSIC PLAYING - just about my favorite track from the “L.A. Is My Lady” album “with Quincy Jones & Orchestra.” I've forgotten and the CD is in a box somewhere in the basement: Did Q arrange this one? Love the opening notes on solo piano. Bill Miller? Thanks, Jersey Lou Simon for keeping the music playing on Channel 71. The Wiki note reminds us that Frank recorded this again - on my all-time favorite of his 'Duets' pairings with Lorrie Morgan. "How Do You Keep the Music Playing?" is a song composed by Michel Legrand, with lyrics by Alan and Marilyn Bergman for the 1982 film Best Friends, where it was introduced by James Ingram and Patti Austin.[1] The Austin/Ingram version became a single in 1983 and reached #45 on the Billboard Hot 100 and #5 on the Billboard Adult Contemporary chart. It was one of three songs with lyrics by Alan and Marilyn Bergman that were nominated for the Academy Award for Best Original Song at the 55th Academy Awards. Notable versions: Johnny Mathis - How Do You Keep the Music Playing? (1993) Pieces of a Dream - In Flight (1993)[2] Frank Sinatra - L.A. Is My Lady (1984), Duets II (with Lorrie Morgan) (1994) Vocal Majority - How Do You Keep the Music Playing (1996) Carl Anderson - Why We Are Here! (1997) Maureen McGovern - The Music Never Ends: The Lyrics of Alan & Marilyn Bergman (1997) The SuperJazz Big Band of Birmingham, Alabama recorded the song on the CD, UAB SuperJazz, Featuring Ellis Marsalis (2001) Arranged and sung by Ray Reach. Barbra Streisand - The Movie Album (2003) Is it at TH-cam? Even better: The 'live' in studio recording. Goosebumps. Thanks, Wolfgang Bogler for sharing. Celebrated elsewhere this day [search] " Great Melody, Great Lyric, Great Rendition, Songwriting Workshop, Harmony Central "
A comment below the video notes that this one was "arranged by Joe Parnello, conducted by Quincy Jones." [Favorite most recent comment from a kindred spirit] Peter Florino (2 months ago) "Frank’s the only singer who ever lived that could make you feel the lyrics from your soul. Every ballad he sang of lost love he made me feel the emotions and pain of the words. My kids would ask me why do I allow myself to tear up listening. Why listen if it makes you so sad? My answer was, it’s not the sadness I’m reacting to as much as it’s the feelings that touch me deep inside when I listen. The beauty of the orchestration, timing, production, it goes on."
I just listened to Tony Bennett singing it, for his 90th birthday celebration. His voice is amazingly good, but his rendition isn't anywhere near what it should be. Johnny Mathis did a great job...watched him on youtube. Sinatra is very expressive...wonderful.
Nic Lofton listen to joe Longthorne then you will realise who sings this the best and unfortunately it’s not old blue eyes... not a bad rendition but not the best

Years ago I saw your show live in Chicago. About your time you spent with Frank. My wife and I enjoyed it. Thanks for sharing those moments.

Thank you so much for sharing. Very moving.
More than 30 years have passed,tears come every time I hear this beautiful tune,and I am only 92 yers old.
Simply the best!
Real talent, real music, real orchestra, real feeling with lyrics that touches my soul. No gimmicks, no autotune, no lipsyncing, the best.

@@mjlejer3241 happy to hear from you. Yes he was a gift to all of us.
I feel ya. BTW Frank gave a slow jazz spin to James Ingram and Patti Austin's 1982 classic.
I'm right there with you, Peter, tears included..Frank is one in a million.

D Me Don’t forget Ella.
I just danced with my husband to this in our kitchen today.. it is our wedding song and have been dancing to it for 36 years.
Love this!!!
Good for you Linda. Keep on dancing with your beloved husband.
The “mercedes benz” of all men mister Sinatra👌
Quincy, Quincy, Quincy...27 grammys...!...Oh my Quincy can orchestrate!...any and all instruments are just flawless, especially the horn section!
Absolutely ⭐️Q loved Sinatra too❤️⭐️✊
Quincy did not orchestrate this album. He organized the musicians and he spurred them on with his great conducting.
Actually it was arranged by Joe Parnello who was also on piano. QJ did co-arrange
the title track L.A. is my Lady for Frank Sinatra. Quincy Jones's main jobs on the LA is My Lady
album were as producer and conductor for his label Qwest Records.
The golden era of music!! Superb arrangers , musicians, songwriters, vocalists. It will never be forgotten and never matched in the future 👏
Timing, phrasing is spot on. Frank at his best.
The singer of our lifetime! End of story! Heard him perform LIVE twice. I feel so blessed .
Twice for me as well. I'll never forget those nights.
Frank just reads the music and sings it like he's lived the lyric his entire life! RIP
Your so right, the songs just flow from his mouth. No strain or stress just the beautiful sounds of his voice. Grew up listening too Frank, my Dad was a massive fan, he could sing Frank's songs really well.

One of my favorite later Sinatra tunes. He still had it here emotionally and vocally. Love and miss Mr Sinatra
How do you keep the comments coming? Post them. Brilliant Mr S and RIP.
You really were the best Frank, this is truly a beautiful song. Thank you so much ♥♥♥

Mr. Sinatra always pulls back from when I'm down in the dumps. I just lost my brother and I sit and listen. to Me. Sinatra. I wish I could let Nancy and Tina know how much their father has pulled me through the most difficult times in my life. God Bless you Mr. Sinatra
I have listened to countless versions of this beautiful song, but I always go back to Frank’s. The voice, the phrasing, the soulfulness... perfect.
Wolfgang what good taste you have. Say what you want about Sinatra but there was something very addictive about his voice. Forget about which singer had the best range but respect the singer who "owned" so many songs like Frank did. Bravo Sinatra!
yep..sinatras voice just emoted the deepest interpretation of many songs. he owned so many. I think Bennetst has the winner on this one tho
In his later years, Frank Sinatra was still capable of singing great love songs beautifully. Frank was also a tireless HUMANITARIAN.
Frank made interpreting an art and he was the Master.
The song is a timeless classic about music as a metaphor for love.;)
Dans les moments de doute sur le monde et l'humanité, on a besoin de la voix sublime de Franck Sinatra.
i like franks sinatras music but this one tops the highest it has the beat
Joe Parnello arranged and played piano accompinament on this session. Joe, RIP!!
Sinatra has no equal as a craftsman of songs. He didn't write them, but he interpreted them better than anyone before or since.

A beautiful message of eternal love for two dedicated hearts.

+John Dudek Reminds me of my wife and I. She was my best friend and lover. Play it almost every day. It was her favorite.

He definitely was the Best.....
Thank you for posting this fabulous share....It's awesome, a real gem.
Love ALL of Michel LeGrand's music!!! Quincy Jones is no slacker either. And Frank, well he's FRANK. So romantic!!!
The Chairman kills it!! Much better than the original duet. Fantastic arrangement, and one-of-a-kind vocals.
this song must be heard closed eyes...
What wonderful voice!
When i listen this song,i don't know why but tears drop on my cheeks,my heart beats softly,and my mind or my soul goes somewhere,but i don't where exactly.
What i know,is that wherever this place is,i am so quietful.....i don't want to come back.
Please,be kind with me,because I'm french,and my english is far to be perfect.....
Do you know that this song was written by Michel Legrand ?
A great composer.....
Enjoy this song ever and ever...it's like a miracle...'
for the last time after listening to the song on a daily basis, i will say again that he has the best recording of anyone. i like tony, but this is not his song
I would like to see and hear Frank Jr arrange this the way he did Body And Soul with lots of strings.
It's miraculous how everthing comes together here. The great Sinatra makes this happen. How very, very beautiful.
Oh boy. Mr. Sinatra.. the one the only.. I've heard several versions of this song and loved all of them.. but Frank's version is the only one that gets my eyes to 💦 water.
Ya! That beautiful piano and the whole arrangement! Perfection! I am 54 now and remember all those other versions too! James Ingram and Patti Austin...beautiful words!!! Life, " The Music"......our SOULS, NEVER END! God bless us all~*
I agree, but then, Alan and Marilyn Bergman's lyrics always seem to touch a soft spot in me, their lyrics always told a story, so down-to-earth and about things we all feel at some point in our lives! Of course, no one can put the touch on this kind of song with the emotion in their voice like Sinatra does, just hits you right in those old heart-strings somehow! You feel his pain, his emotion, and the lyrics really MEAN something to you! I think nearly everyone has loved and lost at least one time in their lives or feels other emotions these lyrics and tunes evoke in one's soul. Just superb!
I Agree Whit You.The Franck Sinatra's Version Is The Most Emotional And Take Us In Other World 😊
Johnny Mathis too
johnny mathis
The words and music just flow out like magic
Simply beautiful and extremely brilliant!
The Best of the Best at every position on this classic album! 1984' " The Best of Everything" Q' at the post! Phil Ramone, Producer! SINATRA had it all his whole career! 50 years on Top! " The Voice" ....indeed~*
Beautiful. ..TY!
I remember back in the '80's walking down the streets of New York City with Nancy Magauran when I saw a limo with a plate tag :"NYC 1". I knew it was Mr. Sinatra's limo and sure enough, who comes out the back stage door walking to his limo but the Chairman of the Board himself. So I just waved to him and said " Hi Frank" as I walked by his limo as he was getting in. He waved back and said
" Hi". My only encounter with the greatest crooner of the 20'th century. RIP Mr. Sinatra.
Pure magic....yess
Great story John, lucky you.
It doesn't get any better than this. Period.
Never to be forgotten. The greatest interpreter of song lyrics ever in my opinion
The only other person I've heard put such elegant emotion in song was Nancy Wilson, the rest have reasons to be placed behind these two, although there are some singers of Sinatra's era that came close, but not before or since and probably never will be.
There's a way to put emotion in your songs that doesn't make it too maudlin or overly dramatic, and Sinatra was master of that ability.
Though not his last recording session, it's definitely his last GREAT one. And thankfully somebody was smart enough to video tape it all...
I totally agree with you Jason. He made it look so easy!
I have the vhs tape. I copied it to DVD.
John, is he using a boom mic AND a condenser ??
The perfect marriage of music, lyrics and performance. What JOY!!! Thank-You
No one has that kind of voice, that song was his alone. All sing it pretty well, but not like he can. He was the best
Whenever I listen to Frank. Feels like I've died and gone to Heaven ❤️
William Kneebone..please checkout English singer Joe Longthornes version and tell me who u think sings it best.
ooh Michel Legrand again....and he wrote What Are You Doing The Rest Of Your Life...great composer.....
RIP to genius composer Michel Legrand...
Quincy Jones did the James Ingram version aswell..wonder which one he prefer's?..
Am sure that "Q" prefers this particular version......

Sinatra and Quincy Jones Arrangement...Speechless
What is that? ...where and when have you found out that treasure?!!!!
Can someone invent a time machine already? 😭😭 I badly need one to travel back in time and witness this greatness
Does anyone remember that guy who sang, "...puts on Sinatra and starts to cry..." That's why! There will never be another like the Voice! There is something incredibly nostalgic about this song, like two lovers about to leave each other and want to have something to remember each other by.
Stephen Bishop “ on and on
@@victorcarr9803 Merci! 🤗
the best song played by the best of all... Frank.
Sinatra...the beginning and end of great, beautiful music.
Very few have gotten it so right..
I'm 64 now, and since I was as young as 5 (as best I can remember), this man's singing, with the magnificent musical talent supporting him, and his unique style of delivering each of them, have always touched my heart. Bless you Mr. S. (Salnotra - J.S.)
This breaks my heart hpw you are missed
Frank sang a song casually yet always showcased his amazing rich baritone. His timing on rhythm seemed out of synch, but it was all practiced and nuanced actually, to the accompaniment. The reprise of the section “I know”-pure Frank and delicious. Miss him, a true gift to our country of his talent.
Exactly and this slightly out of synch was his trademark. And here aswell. A much better version than the duet. Kind of ballade
The Master! 👍👏
heard many different cover of this song on youtube, but i always come back to this one ... :D thx for sharing
what a great song touches the heart
Great pianista in beguin
ALL 3. ARTISTS ----FRANK, DSB. AND JOE. ALL DO A BEAUTIFUL JOB. SINGING THIS SONG. ALL CLASS ACTS. 🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🌹🌹🌹🌹. JOANN LAMONICA. ONEONTA NY
Simply amazing
He was simply the best. The way he carries a tune, phrases and phases the lyrics and plays with the rythm is absolutely unique.
They just don’t make music like this anymore.
He became the music and the music became him No one can do it better.
the mystery of Sinatra .. why a such musicality ?! i can't explain it . it's so rough and so sweet in the same time ...
Yes I can hold my hand up and say I was in the same room as God the Ultimate Event
Frank and Quincy were good together! Great all around job!!!!
Great song, great singer, great orchestra, wonderful.
Can’t imagine a world without this special voice.......
This cut shows in 1984, Sinatra could still take a relatively fresh ballad and make the definitive version of it. He sounds so much fresher and alive than he did on '82's "She Shot Me Down" album. Here he truly gives this song the Sinatra treatment, where he internalizes the lyrics, makes the words sound like they're coming out of his mouth for the first time ever. The band Quincy Jones assembled for this punctuates it perfectly.
You said u would Compromise I love u and need you so !Please Honey?
Such a shame there is no identical karaoke version, of this beautiful arrangement. If anybody knows of one please let me know.
And that's the way it's done! End of story🎤🎶🎶
How do you keep the music playing?
How do you make it last?
How do you keep the song from fading too fast?
How do you lose yourself to someone?
And never lose your ways
How do you not run out of new things to say?
And since we're always changing
How can it be the same?
And tell me how year after year
You're sure your heart will fall apart
Each time you hear his name
I know the way I feel for you
It's now or never
The more I love the more that i'm afraid
That in your eyes I may not see forever..
Forever...
If we can be the best of lovers
Yet be the best of friends
If we can try with everyday to make it better as it grows
With any luck, then I suppose
The music never ends
The music
The music never ends
Never ends
Thank you! Gràcies
Love the song but I wasn't so lucky as for my love relationship that I was in ❤️🕊️❤️ the music did stop 💯 for those that did work out let me tell you that's a true blessing 🌹🌟🌹
So beautiful...so moving. The musicians in this session -the best in the business- applaud at the end. They realize they've been a vital part of something wonderful and unique. The music never ends.
Sinatra is the best!
TheMusicguy68
Right the best version
And he will NEVER be matched ❤️
At this moment Siriusly Sinatra satellite radio is playing HOW DO YOU KEEP THE MUSIC PLAYING - just about my favorite track from the “L.A. Is My Lady” album “with Quincy Jones & Orchestra.” I've forgotten and the CD is in a box somewhere in the basement: Did Q arrange this one? Love the opening notes on solo piano. Bill Miller? Thanks, Jersey Lou Simon for keeping the music playing on Channel 71. The Wiki note reminds us that Frank recorded this again - on my all-time favorite of his 'Duets' pairings with Lorrie Morgan.
"How Do You Keep the Music Playing?" is a song composed by Michel Legrand, with lyrics by Alan and Marilyn Bergman for the 1982 film Best Friends, where it was introduced by James Ingram and Patti Austin.[1] The Austin/Ingram version became a single in 1983 and reached #45 on the Billboard Hot 100 and #5 on the Billboard Adult Contemporary chart. It was one of three songs with lyrics by Alan and Marilyn Bergman that were nominated for the Academy Award for Best Original Song at the 55th Academy Awards.
Notable versions:
Johnny Mathis - How Do You Keep the Music Playing? (1993)
Pieces of a Dream - In Flight (1993)[2]
Frank Sinatra - L.A. Is My Lady (1984), Duets II (with Lorrie Morgan) (1994)
Vocal Majority - How Do You Keep the Music Playing (1996)
Carl Anderson - Why We Are Here! (1997)
Maureen McGovern - The Music Never Ends: The Lyrics of Alan & Marilyn Bergman (1997)
The SuperJazz Big Band of Birmingham, Alabama recorded the song on the CD, UAB SuperJazz, Featuring Ellis Marsalis (2001) Arranged and sung by Ray Reach.
Barbra Streisand - The Movie Album (2003)
Is it at TH-cam? Even better: The 'live' in studio recording. Goosebumps.
Thanks, Wolfgang Bogler for sharing. Celebrated elsewhere this day [search] " Great Melody, Great Lyric, Great Rendition, Songwriting Workshop, Harmony Central "
A comment below the video notes that this one was "arranged by Joe Parnello, conducted by Quincy Jones." [Favorite most recent comment from a kindred spirit]

"Frank’s the only singer who ever lived that could make you feel the lyrics from your soul. Every ballad he sang of lost love he made me feel the emotions and pain of the words. My kids would ask me why do I allow myself to tear up listening. Why listen if it makes you so sad? My answer was, it’s not the sadness I’m reacting to as much as it’s the feelings that touch me deep inside when I listen. The beauty of the orchestration, timing, production, it goes on."
I think he's the only one that can pull this off as a solo.
Listen to Tony Bennett's version....
I just listened to Tony Bennett singing it, for his 90th birthday celebration. His voice is amazingly good, but his rendition isn't anywhere near what it should be. Johnny Mathis did a great job...watched him on youtube. Sinatra is very expressive...wonderful.
Nic Lofton listen to joe Longthorne then you will realise who sings this the best and unfortunately it’s not old blue eyes... not a bad rendition but not the best
wow frank with quincy sounds awesone he gave it a morris albert feelings song touch
Musik never end,my frend
Frankly the best
