The last minute cry of Frank got to me ,, so much paternal love in this precious moment.
Bloody hell. When Frank cries, we all cry. Personally, I miss both Frank Sinatras.
I have never seen him cry
Don’t feel like the Lone Ranger Bud
So many Years and so many tears.

You didn't watch this clip? You didn't see the footage when his mum's plane crashed
early in 1977?

Frank Sinatra isn't 80 here, he's 74. This award was given to him on January 25, 1989. He was born in 1915, and this can't be 1995 unless Lucille Ball came back from the grave 6 years after she died to attend it.
He's just turned 73 here.
Very True!!!
Even Rickles said in the video that Frank is in his 70s
Not to mention Franks good friend Jilly Rizzo (7:22) passed in a car accident in the early 90s
What a wonderful tribute. EVERYONE was there. A man, tough, talented and giving. I miss the fact I never got to see him perform in person. He was my favorite . NO ONE could phrase a Lyric the way this man could. He was the Master.
You really did miss something fob, I managed to see him live twice. The first time he was already 65 years old...I acquired the tickets by fluke on the day he was appearing at the Buffalo auditorium. I went home told my wife that he would probably be an embarrassment on the stage by then, but that I had always liked his singing and was glad to have the tickets. Needless to say, he was magnificent, he opened with "I've got you under my skin" and I couldn't believe the power and clarity in his voice. I sat there literally in awe thinking what a fool I had been to doubt talent such as this. I kept telling myself...That's why he's Frank.
Frank Sinatra jr. was a Great Singer, too Happy to See this Video withAll the Stars and their Tribute to the one and only Frank
He sounds just like his ..father...
Super great piece!!!! Never saw this before. FIRST!!! FRANK IS NOT 80 HERE!!!! Read the comments below. From January 1989. Frank was 73. He would turn 74 on Dec 15 of that year. Frank at 73 was still very much near top form. At 80 he had dementia and a heart condition etc. It's absolutely wonderful to see the other greats still enjoying themselves at an event.. Look around,,, Gregory Peck, John Forsythe, Charliton Heston, Rickles, Lloyd Bridges, Ella still singing. Amazing evening. We may never see people and talent like this come our way again. Greats with decades long careers. Class and dignity with devotion and admiration to a fellow. entertainer.
Wow a reminder of almost all of the greats have passed on...
Clips like this are a cherished reminder of different times not long ago that people can like each other despite political or personal feeling.
Miss all these greats!!!!! Great piece!!! Cherish this and watch when down and send to friends!!!
Now, Class is in a very short supply. This is how you do it.
December 12. My birthday is the 15th, so I always remember Sinatra's birthday was three days before mine.
I have been a fan dive I was in high School and have remained on ever since as t he old expression goes class always tells and shows
Great performer and so many of the old talents are so sadly missed and we are reminded of our mortality that everyone & everything has it's time no matter who no matter what. We can celebrate being a witness & if we are truly lucky being a part of it.
All the money Frank has given will never be known, he was very, very generous.
Jeff Neis…..You are so so so right…. I think it’s also worth remembering that the funds he donated to the charities of his choice , were given with a genuine heart and not solely to take advantage of the tax breaks - unlike most of the “hollywood” types today , done to support their “image “ . And most of all, he devoted huge amounts of his TIME to raise funds and to raise a billion dollars as he did , took time, hard work , devotion and selflessness. He was the real deal of a man . Thank you for reminding me , all of us , of that . Best wishes.
As much as I enjoy seeing this - it’s hard for those of us that cherish this greatest of all generations of entertainers that the majority of them are long gone. Some of them much too soon. To those who love to criticize Sinatra for the aspects of his life that weren’t great - there was more that that man did in one lifetime to leave behind a massively positive impact than most people could have done in several. He cherished his friends and family, he was good to those who helped him when no one would give him the time of day, and for each act of charitable work that we know of - there were ten more than went unpublished. We sure do miss you Francis Albert…
Well said. He was a very extraordinary man and talent. Not flawless, of course, but fantastic❗💎
Frank Sinatra's Jr version of Our love is here to stay is the best one so far! even better than Frank's senior. I wish he recorded his version!!! beautiful!
I have to agree. It was outstanding.
a quick but sad note ,regarding Frank Jr.
as a child little Frank Jr. was very shy.. introverted....and unfortunately did not get the attention from his famous dad that the two girls Nancy and Tina. received ...he grew up devoted to music and became a more than adequate singer and music historian...who performed and gained respect in his field..from other musicians...
he conducted the final 2 years of his dad's shows.....and died at 72 from a heart attack...a non-smoker drinker partier... unlike his dad who outlived him by 10 years and his mom who lived to be over 100.....
it is not easy to be a son of a famous man and certainly trying to find your way as a singer when your father is considered the greatest pop singer in musical history is hardly possible and that was the tragedy for the shy little boy who grew up never to be acknowledged as anyone but the son...of Frank Sinatra....
One has to admire the quality and legacys of the presenters here...........Gregory Peck, John Forsythe, Charlton Heston, Joan Collins, George Hamilton, Don Rickles........in the company of Charles Bronson, Lloyd Bridges and many others
Great great video. Thank you
Just started watching this vid - NO WAY was he 80 years old 😉. He looked great 🤗
January 1989. '92 on he was a shadow of himself.
Awwww..the tears from Frank at the end were touching. Never seen that from Frank before.
That was great & Frank Jnr was spot on.
This is not from 1994, it's actually January 26, 1989. Nice to see Frank and Ella looking good here, however. (Sinatra aged considerably by 1994, notably in his Grammys appearance, and Ella Fitzgerald had her legs amputated below the knee by then and was no longer making public appearances.)
Yeah, they show Lucille Ball alive here, and she died in 1989. So, it's not 1994 or 1995, which is when he actually turned 80. He was born 12/12/1915.
I was born in 1941. Frank is the singer of my lifetime.
I was born in 1957, and Frank Sinatra is the singer of my lifetime.
@@chrispaschal7955 i was born in 2006, and Sinatra is the singer of my lifetime
I am nots person that openly displays
My feeling admiration but Frank has been my most liked and openly admired person in the felid for so many years I have a hard time remembering wheni it began 😅
I cannot say how long this man has been my iIdol but he was and remind at the top of my list
❤❤❤ ❤
@@billpaul4013 forever and ever
I could listen to Frank Sinatra Jr speak for hours, he was a walking encyclopedia, what an interesting guy !!!
My parents were both huge fans and my Mom had every Sinatra album. With that said, it's very possible that I was also conceived while enjoying his music. LOL
Where have all the legends gone . . .
80 ? NO 75.
The great Francis Albert Sinatra; the best there will ever be, RIP
Frank ,you where the best, see you ones I will see you again
frank the affectionate father in paradise singing to the world
I have got a movie DVD of
Frank Sinatra with
Trevor Howard and Alfredo Celi in
Von Ryan's Express
I am dedicating this movie DVD to my old school friends who are both sisters and I hope to see them both again very soon to Chris and Hester from Billyxxx
VERY NICE XO
Super🎉🌹
Sinatra by 80 was suffering from cancer...dementia....had a heart attack..and many other things wrong .....but who wouldn't want to see him or hear him and see Ella...Peck etc.......the world is such a different place now....and none of it good.......
and YES Frank Sinatra.....was the most generous entertainer and raised more money for charity in real terms than any other person in show business history.....
Actually, he appeared in public at his 80th birthday Special in 1995 and sang the last notes of "Theme from NY, NY," so it wasn't until after he retired at 80 that he had all the problems you suggest.
You have to believe Angie Dickinson and Frank got it on during the Rat Pack days.
Frank, Jr. sings very well, but under a big shadow.
Heard he had a Big Heart!!!!
09:48 If anyone doesn't get the Dan Rather reference... This event took place in 1989. Three years earlier, Dan Rather was brutally assaulted by two well-dressed men who staked him out in his own neighborhood in New York. It was reported as a case of mistaken identity, although Rather was one of the most recognizable people in America. The two dapper dressers didn't bother robbing Rather, and they were never caught. Frank's joke here is essentially, "Yeah, I ordered it." Har-dee-har-har, laughed his friends. What did Rather do to offend Frank? Who knows.
Congratulations, you have waited 22 years to share a falsehood and to try and smear Frank Sinatra’s legacy. It was in 1997 a year before this ward ceremony that the real person had confessed. He is serving a long sentence for murder. He took a lie detector test and the NYC police feel the case was solved.
His name was Mr. Tager. So, during the award ceremony Mr. Sinatra had a laugh with others knowing that he had been suspected and was cleared a year before. That Is The Joke..SHAME ON YOU
@@Shakespeare1623 Frank's legacy, along with being the world's greatest singer of popular songs, is also one of having his goons "take care" of his perceived enemies, or those who just weren't appropriately respectful. Frank had no problem with people thinking that. Just in case anyone wasn't aware of Frank's thug connections, he'd have his opening act flunky Don Rickles regale his audience with Mafia jokes before Frank came out, the most overutilized being, "Did you know Frank saved my life? It's true! He said, 'okay, guys, that's enough.'" We got it. Nobody knew at the time of this award- 1989, not 1994 as the title shows, nor 1998, as you seem to think- who the assailant was, including Frank. But Frank clearly wanted to give the impression it could have been just another of his hits, and I don't mean songs. That was the joke that went over your head. And frankly, that's not exactly like climbing Mt. Everest.
I thought it was a reference to Rather's attack on Vice President George Bush during the 1988 presidential campaign. Sinatra supported Bush in that election.
What’s the frequency, Kenneth?
what a great collection of toupees in the audience!
I recommend to everyone a book called "Why Sinatra Matters" written by Peter Hamill. Fabuluos short read.
Where do I find the book? I have looked to no advail
I have looked but haven’t been able to find it yet, but have not ginenup
Lucille Ball died April 26, 1989, but still made it to Beverly Hills to celebrate Frank's bday.
Frank Sinatra Junior have a same voice with His Father🥰
He had the voice of an American Jew, he seemed like a jeweler, he was purer than Frank (Frank's mother was also partly Jewish) Nanci Barbato was also partly Jewish
The very definition of Super Star!
I do much agree
30 years later they're asking "What is a Woman"
Oh what the world has come to.....

He must have missed. Dean alot.
They have the year wrong 1994 is not his 80th birthday. He would be 79 in 1994.
🏋️ HOLLYWOOD 🙏
George Hamilton at 5:30 ??
Hamilton is better known for his tan than his acting, but he actually is a talented man. His performance as Hank Williams in "You're Cheatin' Heart" (1964) is recommended for anyone who doesn't know why he became a star, but his biggest hit was the very funny (if a bit dated) spoof "Love at First Bite" (1979), which is much better than the later Mel Brooks-Leslie Nielsen take "Dracula Dead and Loving It" (1995).
This is the second time I see Julio Iglesias being made fun of, previously it was Bob Hope
Almost close,,he should have taken his socks off :-)
the actual award is a hat made of white chocolate
Where's Dean martin
ghost ship
heston's wig was very bad
Impossible to be his 80 birthday... Lucille Ball dead in 1989 in april, and this is January 1989. Frank was 74 years old. Be precise please
I think after Frank... AA generation change and everything from Oscars to Songs. All lack Class
