Great reaction. He had a great voice. But he's under appreciated in his contributions to the area of arranging, phrasing and timing. He pretty much changed the way singers performed.
glen kelley that was more Bing Crosby, as he more changed the way of singing compared Sinatra, Sinatra just built onto Bing’s style. Frank was told to copy or at least to look at Crosby’s phrasing and timing.
Bing Crosby was the voice that carried more influence but Sinatra took crooning to another level with his "swing" phrasing, breath control, and lyric delivery. He also had a cocky, mobster persona which comes across in this video.
@@kentuckyfriedchildren5385 lol...name one person who had any authority in the music field who that Sinatra had a bad voice.....this is stupid beyond compare
The band backing him up that night is the great Count Basie Orchestra, and the man in this clip conducting the orchestra is a legend himself: Quincy Jones.
True, the joy and excitement of the performance is there. But actually Sinatra excelled from other crooners by using his voice and words as another instrument. What set him apart was his timing. Watch any of his serious performances. Unlike others even those with great voices, Sinatra is constantly aware of the orchestra and the music in terms of his place and involvement.
A master communicator. In order to be one you have to also be a master of relaxation (which takes a world of confidence), the ability to interpret and personalize a lyric, and then make it personal to the audience. In those days diction and word clarity was paramount. But as I've said before on other sites, Frank was always the coolest guy in the room. Nat King Cole had these very same abilities as well (with a prettier timber in my opinion,) but Nat's personality was avuncular. Nevertheless, it always felt as if each were singing directly to you. This performance has to be with Count Basie and his orchestra. A time long and forever gone.
Im a major metalhead and have been for 30 years. When I discuss my favorite bands, guitarists, singers and such, it is funny to see peoples expressions when I name names like Dio, Halford, Sebastian Bach and other singers and then mention that Sinatra is my favorite singer. It gets a great response....
Same here! I'm primarily a rock/metal fan, however, I love people's faces when I tell them that I like to listen to classical music (thanks mostly to Andre Rieu), but also singers like Sinatra, Elvis (thanks to my mom who loves him), Andy Williams or Dean Martin. On the other hand, I'm 27 and it's quite sad that most people my age do not even know who any of these people are, maybe with the exception of Elvis, who's hard to miss in the modern popculture.
In 1998, I was in a college Jazz band as a trumpet player (which was fun enough on its own, of course), and I was lucky enough to be selected to sing the vocals for this song. I'm not a vocalist by any means, but I received some excellent coaching from someone very much like Miss Roars. That made all the difference.
Your joy watching this is infectious. Plus I've always thought Frank was underrated. He knew exactly what he was doing with breath and vocal technique and phrasing.

In my opinion , yes even considering Freddie and others. Frank is the best male vocal artist of all time. (In popular music terms ) and I love Freddie (who is mostly referred to as the best male voice) However there’s just something about Frankie that I can’t shake. He’s the best. Sorry 🤷🏻♀️
I love seeing the young coming home to real music. Frank sang with the Tommy Dorsey Orchestra from 1939. Dorsey played trombone and it was keeping time with that slide instrument which gave Sinatra the phrasing he would become famous for.
Sinatra regards "Only The Lonely" on Capitol, (1958) (and I heartily concur) as his greatest album. You, your viewers, anyone who appreciates jazz, blues, and ballads need to hear that album, especially "One For My Baby" and "Blues In The Night." Do a serious critique on that material. Heartbreaking. There'll never be another.
Great video - a better example of his talent would be to react to one of his ballads ( often dubbed his suicide albums ) from the early fifties, really amazing singing.
Love him. Got to see him live when I was 19 in London, with my mam, who introduced me to him. He was getting on a bit, but still amazing. All the things that made him Frank Sinatra were still there. One of the best nights of my life & something I’ll never forget. I got to see Frank Sinatra 😍
Great! Beth can you please do an ABBA song? Would love you to do SOS, The winner takes it all or The Day before you came (all Agnetha songs). There are not a lot real live versions on YT though.
@@anonamatron that's his stage name that he gave himself. perhaps you should stop getting offended, just because people might have a name you don't agree with or see things differently than you. no wonder people don't take you generation seriously you have the mental capacity of a four year old
@@anonamatron I'm glad it's just a joke. I see far too many people who say that for real and try to shove their opinion down other's throats like it's fact smh. Good day to you.
To me, Frank is the best singer ever. A big statement, I know. But, that's how much I love him. He had amazing breath control and could hold some loooong notes.
A good part of the admiration for this song,quietly has to go Nelson Riddle's jazzy arraignment. This not only enhanced the song but complemented the singer as well. Also, his work on Linda Ronstadt's retro albums were incredible.
A mí parecer uno de los más grandes cantantes de los EEUU un símbolo nacional para ellos bien terroncito de azúcar 👏👏🍀🍀 terroncito dile a mis 👁️👁️ hermosos que está siempre en mi pensamiento 💭
Way past his creative prime (do one off his mid or late 1950s performances). He revolutionized music and took over ALL popular music. Everyone singer male or female was a Sinatra imitator for 20 years. He had (developed physically) outrageous breath control!!! Had to have perfect pitch because his arranger, the legendary Nelson Riddle, had band NEVER PLAY ANY OF THE MELODY and followed him (not he following band). First to make everyone believe he was SINGING JUST TO YOU. Not just perfect diction, but turned song's lyrics into a meaningful, emotional poem. Loved to live in the studio cutting LPs in the 50s, greatest ever made. By the mid-1960s smoking cost him his breath control gone, so he switched to SPEAK-SINGING for next 30 years.
the thing people fail to say about sinatra, which is UNFORGIVABLE CRIME is that people somehow INEXPLICABLY fail to recognize that he was a fabulous MUSICIAN a musician, frist and foremost, THE GUY KNEW EXACTLY WHAT HE WAS DOING
Franck song never getold Is wonderfull see to him when Franck was young never see anything like this again nobody did.it better nobody Franck Iwas a fantástico voice where doyou my baby torngland ir América really i love youbabe
Loved your reaction. I know this is about Frank, but you did mention the band as well. Not sure if you are aware, but the band is the great Count Basie orchestra. In my opinion, Sinatra's best recordings/performances were with Count Basie. You see, I knew Count Basie; in the 70s we lived next door to him and my parents were on the committee of Count Basie's, Wife's charity The Committee of 50. Anyway, I side track. There was a close similarity with the way that Sinatra phrased the song and the way Basie phrased the music; it was like they were made for each other.
If you like Frank so much, you can take a lesson from him on his visual microphone technique. Your own micr. technique is basically good, but needs improvement, so the top of your windscreen doesn't cross into your chin area so much. It's more visually pleasing to your audience to be able to see your chin, mouth, face. Good "rule of chin" " micr. (or screen) crossing into chin area: not good; below chin: good; below neck: better; below knot of tie: best.
New to your channel ... Wondering if you ever check out one of Frank best friend Dean Martin. He a more relax singer then Frank but was just as much love. Couple of his song is Amore and also the song he knock the beetles out of number 1 spot in 1964... everyone loves somebody. He was known as king of cool given him that title by Elvis Presley
Frank Sinatra could make not english speaking people understand the words because when he sang "kick" it sounded as a kick and when he sang "beeeeending" it sounded like bending. No one, no vokalist ever, give you the lyrics better. He also got a character in the tone. I'm surpriced singers don't care more about him, Louis and Ella.
I think most singers are too rushed and focused on the beat to be singing like Frank. Frank felt the swing in music, he was relaxed and taking it slow... not letting him be rushed by the beat or the band. Instead when Frank misses the beat he utilizes different tonations... sometimes holding a not a bit longer other times going into stoccato, but always keeping the swing of the music and the lyrics (and their meaning!) in mind. It isn't impossible to do but you have to mentally change from your 21st century rushed mobile phone junky self, and then just get into the mood of the swing of the song. People always talk about Frank's timing, but I think the whole point is that people usually are too focused on the timing itself. I'd that makes sense?
Since this is a year late, I understand it's pointless to ask, but as a non singer/professional musician, I wonder about these live performances of people who have performed these songs soooo many times. How do they play with the song? How much do they pack it in? How much is there a difference between a studio attempt to lay down the best track and the 400th time you've sung it?
My aunt who’s 95 said she’d watch frank Sinatra perform live in movie theaters even when there was almost no one in the theater lol. Apparently it was before he was famous.
Don't wish to be too critical but you made virtually no reference to what really set Sinatra apart. His use of the strong back beat and subtly of phrasing, sitting so late on the beat that he really could swing. Sinatra's timing was peerless. Such strong rhythmic articulation is a massive feature of his style. He actually did a lot of things in this respect that are more than just "having fun"
Could you please react to Devin Townsend - Why? th-cam.com/video/Ob8IsKzRPwg/w-d-xo.html If you do make sure to react to the studio version, the only live versions are poorly shot cellphone performances with bad audio, and you need the choir and orchestra on the album to truly enjoy it.

@@kentuckyfriedchildren5385 lol...name one person who had any authority in the music field who that Sinatra had a bad voice.....this is stupid beyond compare
jeez you people are dumb....Sinatra is not underappreciated in any of those areas....they are always brought up in any discussion of his singing
Please do Dean Martin! Either everybody loves somebody, or Volari!
Dean is so much more enjoyable than Frank.
Mombo italiano
It's Volare, the infinitive 'to fly'.
Return To Me is wonderful by Dean. Perry Como and Dean did a wonderful duet of the song.
Dean for the win
His phrasing was amazing.
Everything he did was amazing.
The band backing him up that night is the great Count Basie Orchestra, and the man in this clip conducting the orchestra is a legend himself: Quincy Jones.
Frank always had the most fun when he had a big band behind him!
Yes, especially the one behind him here; the Count Basie orchestra, Frank's best music was with Basie.
Frank and Dean are more than legends
True, the joy and excitement of the performance is there. But actually Sinatra excelled from other crooners by using his voice and words as another instrument. What set him apart was his timing. Watch any of his serious performances. Unlike others even those with great voices, Sinatra is constantly aware of the orchestra and the music in terms of his place and involvement.

I adored your voice when you sang a couple of lines of that 😍
we need a cover from her
otocatocoto true
Should definitely follow this up with Dean Martin. Either thats amore, volare, or on an evening in roma. Brilliant singer, warm voice.
Truly one of the greats! RIP Frank.

Loved it! More jazz and crooners, if you will.
You have good taste Beth. Frank is amazing
Your joy watching this is infectious. Plus I've always thought Frank was underrated. He knew exactly what he was doing with breath and vocal technique and phrasing.
The age of the crooners, great stuff.
Frank was and is the best! What a performer!

greatest live album ever made , sinatra and count basie at the sands.
Seconded. That's my most played album. Basie's band was so good and Frank knew what he had. It was perfect.
I just love how he plays with the tempo as well, sometimes ahead of the beat sometimes behind.
The greatest singer of all time!!!! I saw him in concert and he did not disappoint!!!
You are so lucky

Damn.....
Frank.....🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I hear Frank - I think of my Grandad. He loved him 😊
'Ol Blue Eyes.. 🥰
Frank was the man.
I love seeing the young coming home to real music. Frank sang with the Tommy Dorsey Orchestra from 1939. Dorsey played trombone and it was keeping time with that slide instrument which gave Sinatra the phrasing he would become famous for.
If you take the advice and do Dean Martin, I'd suggest 'Memories are Made of This'.

You, your viewers, anyone who appreciates jazz, blues, and ballads need to hear that album, especially "One For My Baby" and "Blues In The Night." Do a serious critique on that material.

Sinatra the Time Lord, his swing was just craaazy
He knows how to throw a song about .
If you're going the jazz vocals route, please do Joao Gilberto. Miles Davis said "he could read a newspaper and sound good."
PLEASE DO DEAN MARTIN PLEEEEEAAASEEEEEE
You can mention the arrangement for the orchestra done by Quincy Jones!
Great video - a better example of his talent would be to react to one of his ballads ( often dubbed his suicide albums ) from the early fifties, really amazing singing.

Jazz is the core of it. He used his voice like a saxophone or trumpet, improvisationally.
Dean Martin has a little more fun flying up high somewhere or maybe swimming down low. He must be reviewed... you know for the fun.
It is a nice song !
Please can you react to:
