Frank's popularity is unmatched and there will never be another one like him

I'm for Frank Sinatra, but.....Tony Bennett, Elvis Presley, Michael Jackson, Bob Dylan...ahem.

"To say the words he truly feels, and not the words of one who kneels". Great line.

[@dagmar.6954]

They don't make them like they used to. Frank Sinatra was such a smooth crooner. This is before auto tuning. Artists had to be really able to sing. And the lyrics were clean, romantic & really meant something. He has a huge library of great songs. Some of my favorites are "Fly Me To The Moon", "New York, New York", "Strangers In The Night", "I've Got You Under My Skin", "That's Life", "My Kind Of Town", "Summer Wind" etc. And he did a duet with his daughter Nancy called "Something Stupid" in 1967.

[@williamdonnelly6606]

Not a crooner,but a great singer!👌🎤

[@LucasdeAlmeidaMemoria]

This song is a TESTAMENT of LIFE.

[@ShadySinisters]

I'm 26, and Frank and Dean Martin are staples for my commute. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@JohnBullard]

Sinatra's career spanned over six decades. Crooner, movie star, no one was more popular until Elvis. Listen to FLY ME TO THE MOON, THE BEST IS YET TO COME, LUCK BE A LADY, so many great songs. Sinatra's style, singing and phrasing like an instrument, changed the way people sang. He even had the first martial arts fight scene in western cinema, in THE MANCHURIAN CANDIDATE.

[@giuliogrifi7739]

And he had a perfect english pronunciation, too.

[@jjack-zm4sr]

There is no other voice like his in the history of singing

[@exeterpeg4809]

I don't care how old you are, you can't listen to that and not be moved by it. Great review

[@markhodge7]

Oh Yes!!! Chairman of the Board! Frank is top shelf! I will never get tired of listening to his jazz singing. His enunciation was unparalleled. His feel for the rhythm and beat, as he moved around it, was genius. Dean Martin and Bobby Darrin could approach the technique, but Frank brought in a different level of drama and emotion. That's why Frank was the best. Young At Heart has always been my lifetime mantra from Frank. Sam. He has a Christmas album! (Actually, more than one) Next Christmas you can swoon to Frank's versions of classics 😊

[@j7286]

Sinatra was the comeback kid, his life was not all smooth sailing. His career was on the skids in the late 1940s and early 1950s. Suicide attempts, vocal cord damage, and a tumultuous marriage all played out in the public eye. He had to beg for the role in the movie From Here to Eternity, which ended up winning him an academy award in 1953.

[@pauls.4264]

I was lucky enough to see him twice in NYC in the eighties. Please for Frank..

[@alainanash4905]

This was my song back in the 70's when I was in High School!

[@jeff1930]

In addition to his amazing voice, he also was a successful actor.

[@SeanSilverfoot]

Early Sinatra is so damn good, back with the big band era, Take a look at "I won't dance" fabulous

[@huchlvr]

When i was able to walk (w/o a walker), I used to go on several miles walks around the Metroparks Valley in Cleveland several times a week, and I always walked to Sinatra. Even though my era is more Classic Rock, there's something peaceful I found walking in nature to the dulcet tones of The Chairman of the Board. There doesn't have to be a hard or heavy beat (for me) to keep time. It was more the state of mind and enjoying my time alone and enjoying the beautiful scenery.

[@mackssboo]

"My Way" is a song popularized in 1969 by Frank Sinatra set to the music of the French song "Comme d'habitude" composed by Jacques Revaux with lyrics by Gilles Thibaut and Claude François and first performed in 1967 by Claude François. The English lyrics of the song were written by Paul Anka and are unrelated to the original French song.

[@jjack-zm4sr]

Frank's music with Love by young and old even today

[@cadleo]

Incredible song. Love Frank! It Was a Very Good Year is another amazing hit by him, but so many to choose from.

[@huchlvr]

I love that song!!! It's probably my favorite of his.

[@scottmoquin]

The two most exciting words in entertainment "Frank Sinatra".

[@jmoney6900]

Speaking of a life lived Frank had to have one of the most unique.

[@rickteklits6872]

Love your videos! Sinatra sang My Way in one take. Just a true professional. Another great song is Summer Wind!

[@siciliano66]

Lucky enough to see ‘ol blue eyes in concert 3 times. A legend!

[@TerryL421]

I grew up listening to Frank Sinatra. He was one of my mom's favorite singers. He has a huge catalog of songs. Some of my favorites are "That's Life", "Strangers in the Night", "It Was a Very Good Year", "Summer Wind", "New York, New York", and "My Kind of Town (Chicago Is). You should also check out two more members of the Rat Pack - Dean Martin and Sammy Davis, Jr. Songs for Dean Martin are "That's Amore", "Volare", "Sway", "Everybody Loves Somebody", and "Baby, It's Cold Outside". Songs for Sammy Davis Jr. are "I Gotta Be Me", "What Kind of Fool Am I", "Mr Bojangles", and "The Candy Man".

[@michaelvaristo989]

[@jeanniedebartolo5965]

Fly me To The Moon. He was a heart throb in my mom’s era way before my time

[@athos1974]

Sinatra, "New York New York" really builds the power of his vocals.

[@j7286]

There are a million great Sinatra songs, but one of my favorites is From This Moment On.

[@Alan-lv9rw]

Frank didn’t have a lot of unnecessary noise in his music like we have today.

[@michaelp.7893]

I can't think of any recording artist who had as long a career as Francis had: 5 decades of everything from big ballads to drinking songs to jazz/swing to the blues to grand pop statements such as "My Way". I recommend my favorite FS songs for future consideration: "Luck Be A Lady" (1963) and, if you are interested in Frank's romantic side, "Just The Way You Look Tonight" (1964) and "Witchcraft" (1957) A+

[@SaintKaede]

Absolutely one of the best ever, Frank was an inspiration even to me at a young age and I will never turn down a song sung by Frank. While there are some songs that are certainly better than others which are equally as good, the album that this video has in the background is a good enough start in itself, just pick one of any of them they are all too good and I truly could not choose just one.

[@lesgrice4419]

some songs and some singers are just genius and will live forever...

[@andrewclelland9713]

I was lucky enough to see him live at Ibrox in the late 80s. Amazing performer, and what a voice.

[@adamfigueroa8208]

Frank GOAT you hear every lyric clearly no mumbling

[@debortahwelch9298]

Mr. Sinatra's voice will never be matched. So smooth and clear. Mr. Sinatra was also a good actor. He was a very special and if you really need to relax and enjoy, Mr. Sinatra would be one to put on. It would be nice to see what some of the really young feel about him.

[@pres96ton]

Look up FRANK singing OLD MAN RIVER in 1946 when he was about 18. his voice will blow you away. he was 60 or so when he did this version of MY WAY

We saw Frank in the early eighties with the Buddy Rich Orchestra. Way past his prime there were sections of the concert he was fabulous. This song was one of them. Iconic.

[@joepangia4413]

If you get a chance please check out Frank Sinatra “It was a very good year”! The live performance was actually the studio version being filmed in front of a hand full of people and was absolutely incredible! Cheers, God Bless you guys!

[@spacecadet35]

And remember, they didn't have fold back in that era, so he is having to do it using pure talent.

[@MikeWalsh-f1g]

Ya guys that is THE song most associated with Sinatra. New York, New York might be next. The Summer Wind is my fav. Great reaction!

[@emiliochavez8128]

Sinatra was thinking of retiring and asked Paul Anka (an accomplished performer/writer/composer even at the age of 26) to write him a retirement song in 1967. Anka had heard this song in France and bought the rights to it. At Sinatra's request he wrote My Way to the melody in one night, called Sinatra and played the song on the phone. One week later Sinatra recorded the gold standard version of this song in one take, and the rest, as they say, is history. Suggested for you to react to What are you doing the rest of your life, Summer Wind, That's Life, How do you keep the music playing, It had to be you.

[@gailvolm3862]

American Pop Standards are great music and there are many gifted musicians that make this smooth sound.

[@davidwatkowski6146]

Thanks for reacting to Mr Sinatra. He’s the best ever.

[@frankwhitmire5779]

This is also a cover of the original. Yes Elvis covered it. Sinatra stated after hearing Elvis's cover that the song was tailor made for Elvis's voice

[@jaccilowe3842]

The original song was French, "Comme D'Habitude". Paul Anka wrote the English lyrics for Frank.

[@lilamuzik3385]

And by the way, In BonJovis song, "Its My Life" he quotes Frank with the lyric " As Frankis says,I did it my way". He and Richie Sambora, Johns partner guitarist, fought him over quoting it, saying, " No one will get it" ,but John said, it stays in. So when you get to covering my favorite Bonjovi song, you will be in " the know".

[@bmcclelland3]

I played this song to my father not minutes before he passed away, he really loved it and I feel like every single person on this earth can hear this song and interpret it in a way that resonates with them

[@fscottgray9784]

Frank called Paul Anka and asked him to write a signature song for him. A lot of pressure according to Paul to come up with a song worthy of Frank S.

[@fgrillo29]

My father LOVED Sinatra. He was Silent Gen and I'm Gen X. I picked it up and kept it going. This is a song about living life on your terms. Following your own path and dealing with the consequences of those choices. This one hits me so hard because it makes me feel closer to my dad but also proud of myself for doing my own thing. If you like this, check out Luck be A Lady, I've Got You Under My Skin and The Summer Wind.

[@bonniebarrow5908]

Also, song was written by Paul Anka (A Canadian) who was also a teen idol and magnificent song writer, check him out.

[@greendale634]

It's a classic Sinatra song. Wikipedia says he recorded it in one take. I'd also recommend the song New York, New York, which became closely associated with Sinatra, although he wasn't the first to sing it.

[@markhodge7]

One Take Frank. Even in his movies, he usually did his scene in one take. Always got it the way he wanted it the first time.

[@jimedwards4214]

I ran across some footage of Frank in the studio. What confidence and almost nonchalant.

Frank was always known as connected , A made guy, if you know what I mean. Definitely try Summer Wind as the next song.

[@Dannyboy.]

You should react to the original version, "Comme d'habitude" from French male singer Claude François. Sinatra's song is an outcome song, but François' song is a break-up song. You can find it in his official channel with English subtitles.

[@johnc1593]

The man's voice is timeless. 👍🏽

[@jeanphilippesurcouf3300]

No he didn´t - Paul Anka just translated the lyrics from french to english !!!

[@chrisolivo6591]

Sinatra is one of the few pop culture figures that appeals to any generation. Our grandparents loved his music, our parents loved his music, and current generations love it too. We can all relate to the lyrics as they will never be dated. That’s what a true entertainment legend is!

[@TheZepp44]

[@ilionreactor1079]

Frank and the orchestra would drop the needle on a lacquer disk and cut a whole side of an album in one flawless take.

[@danastearns7939]

very deep rabbit hole with Frank Sinatra (RIP). Many consider to be the best male singer of all time. His smooth delivery, good range, tone/breath/voice control (clear even in louder volumes), are unparalleled. Super showman. So very many great songs, difficult to list them all so you need to do some research into this music icon and true legend. This song is arguably considered his best. Commonly also known as "Chairman of The Board" and "ole Blue Eyes". Some other notable suggested songs: New York New York, Cycles, When I was 17, Fly me to the moon, That's Life, Strangers in the Night, and a duet he sang with his daughter (Nancy) in 1967- "Say something stupid", Luck be a Lady and so many, many, many more. Also a pretty good actor with many movie appearances. And he was known, among inner circles, of having a very big and kind heart. Helped many struggling actors/singers find their way, but he never talked about it - extremely humble.

[@gabriellopes1564]

Amazing song!

[@davidwatkowski6146]

Check out “That’s Life”, “It Was a Very Good Year”, “Fly Me to the Moon “, “I’ve Got You Under My Skin “ “One for my Baby “ is a must and a ton of others. He made over 2,000 recordings so you have some catching up to do. Live performances are tremendous. The Rat Pack stuff is gold! Thanks for sharing your reaction to this entertainment legend.

Don't know if anyone mentioned it but in the Bon JOVI song, Its My Life, there is a line that says: like Frankie said, I did it my way. This song is where that came from

I would love to have a Time Machine to go back to the time when he was at the top of his game and see him do a live floor show in person I’m only 43 but I love the older jazz style music from this time just to sit back and have a drink and relax while listening

This song was written by Paul Anka for Frank ...chairman of the board. His songs are always full instrumental, it's called the big band Era ❤

[@giuliogrifi7739]

Actually, the song was written (title FOR ME - early 1967) by french singer-songwriter Jaques Revaux. Then, Claude Francois a french-italian singer-songwriter, modified a little the original music and, with new lyrics composed by french lyricist Gilles Thibaut, released and led to success the song (title COMME D'HABITUDE - late 1967). Then Paul Anka and Frank Sinatra came in with MY WAY (early 1969).....and made history !

[@darrinlindsey]

Frank, quite possibly, never missed a note in any performance. You might check out his duets with Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong. They are so fun. My favorite Frank song is My Kind Of Town (Chicago Is)

I believe there were four giants of 20th century music: Bing Crosby, Frank Sinatra, Elvis, and the Beatles.

[@jmoney6900]

IDK about the Beatles, think they were more a product of the media then talent. They were not even the most talented during the 60s. Imagine the number Elvis would have done if he had the push that the Beatles did. Did not Elvis sell the most albums of all time and that was with the negative narrative the media pushed in the 50s, he was draft, signed a contract for movies when he got back and died in the 70s The degradation of our current society seems to have a direct link to the 60s. Which the media has been a huge contributing factor to and the Beatles was at the front.

I like this recording, it ends softly instead of the big noisy finish, much more effective. My dad used to sing this around house, the song makes me miss him terribly. Esp on Christmas Eve. Now in my retirement from music teaching i sing in senior homes, and often sing this song in his memory. Labels are convenient for styles of music, but labels can be incorrect and misleading and prejudicial...I mean 75 weeks on the charts? that's not easy listening, that's AMAZING listening.
