FIRST TIME HEARING Frank Sinatra - My Way REACTION

[@starfire6122]

My father was a singer and this was his anthem..Frank Sinatra is the Godfather to us Sicilian/Italian folks..love that you liked him too💞✌

[@alonegameplaysbr5207]

Bro.... i am a italian descendent and in the first time i heard that song i already felt some sort of sensation, idk maybe something in my veins, in the first moment i already loved that song.

[@rickyallen7176]

Heavy Metal, Rap, and Country fans all love Frank Sinatra. He's the greatest singer of all time. He didn't have one bad song.

[@Ocelopilli]

There will only be one frank

[@vague7440]

He’s was an amazing singer and performer but you can’t say straight up he didn’t have one bad song, and he isn’t the greatest singer

[@NoblinGoblin]

​@@vague7440 did he stutter?

[@ProdigyBowlersTour]

Before there was Michael Jackson, before there was the Beatles, before there was Elvis, there was Frank Sinatra. Any Mount Rushmore you want to build to enshrine the greatest male singers in history, Frank will be an almost universal choice to be on it. He might just be the most important male singer to come along in the 20th century.

[@cayminlast]

I'm an old guy who grew up listening to music like this on the radio and at home, it's such a joy to see a younger generations getting into it. Thanks.

[@jennhurl]

Frank Sinatra suggestions: "Fly Me To The Moon" "Strangers In The Night" "New York, New York" "That's Life" "I've Got The World On A String" Frank Sinatra, Bing Crosby, & Dean Martin "Together, Wherever We Go"

[@Boatzilla2]

Good list. How about "The Summer Wind"? That's one of my favs.

[@sukioki6983]

I have a chronic illness that will eventually take my life... I have been through it all! When I pass, one of the songs I want is "Thats Life". Perfect song for me.

[@jared30]

@@Boatzilla2 i played that song at the beach in florida once and an elderly man with his wife walking by gave me the thumbs up. It was a machismo moment lol.

[@v0nstrudelhaven]

The embodiment of a man’s man! Take no shit and do everything on your own terms

[@eliseorodriguezjr876]

I'm turning 60 in 14 days since i was a kid i would listen to all kind of music. And thank god I still do Rap, Big Pun 🇵🇷 R.I.P is my all time favorite rapper also listen to Bigband, Crooners like Frank and Dean Martin Bobby Darin, Perry Como, Tony Bennett, Bing Crosby and Sammy Davis was born in Puerto Rico 🇵🇷. And I even listen to Opra and Classical Music I was always make fun of. And Salsa 🇵🇷 Marc Anthony, Even today's music I listen too

[@ursulabklyn_mia6148]

Sinatra's New York, New York song is my favorite. Ok so I am from NYC but they play this song even on New Year's eve after dropping the ball. Like the anthem everyone sings along. You will probably recognize it when you hear it.

[@TiggerC]

Dean Martin and Sammy Davis Jr. were great friends of Frank Sinatra. They performed together at times and were known as “The Rat Pack”. You should check them out sometime also. Two of my favorite Sammy Davis Jr. songs are “The Candy Man” and “Mr. Bo Jangles”. A couple of good Dean Martin songs are “That’s Amore” and “Ain’t That a Kick in the Head”.

[@tommccutcheon1268]

Simply the great popular singer of the 20th century.

[@bella-xp7qd]

This was written for him by Paul Anka who was a singer himself in the 50's. Should check ✔️ him out as well. The start of rock n roll. Frank was the leader of the Rat Pack a bunch of men who had a close net friendship Joey Bishop ( actor comedian), Dean Martin (singer, actor, had own variety show), Sammy Davis Jr (actor, singer, dancer), Peter Crawford (actor), Frank was 53 when this was released. His era of music was known as The Big Band

[@19907up]

The original song was a French song "Comme d'habitude" then adapted in English by Sinatra.

[@MsRhodeman]

Dean Martin is another crooner from that time era... I like you're nobody until somebody loves you/ Everybody loves somebody sometime/ But he had a lot of hits too those are just two of my favorite

[@ProdigyBowlersTour]

One thing you should know about Frank is that the people playing the music behind him were always some of the most accomplished jazz musicians in the world. Some of his best work was sung with the Count Basie Orchestra, playing arrangements by the legendary (and young at the time) Quincy Jones. You should check out Frank singing "Fly Me to the Moon," "Luck Be A Lady," "That's Life" and the song that plays every night at New York Yankees baseball games, "Theme from New York New York." Frank Sinatra is a legend, and there has never been anyone bigger in music. He may have grown old and passed to the other side, but Frank remains the definition of "cool." No one has ever eclipsed him in terms of universal popularity. The fact that you're listening to him now and digging his music speaks volumes about the universal appeal of Frank Sinatra. He was just the best. And I say that knowing that he was from my PARENTS' generation, not from mine.

[@rhondadananay2106]

So glad you are reacting to music outside your box. You are great at giving your honest,fresh and straightforward opinions about music from every generation and type of artist. So enjoy listening to our reactions. Us older generations have much to learn from you,as well!

[@KNichelle]

That’s the beautiful thing about music…it knows no boundaries and can touch your soul 🎧♥️🎼🎤

I see this song as a key to life. State your case and say what you believe. Great way to live.

[@keithrosenthal4757]

Sinatra = GOAT. My Way lyrics EVERYONE can relate

[@Leah-cn5cu]

Sweetheart , I’m 55 and when I see younger generation listening to the older music brings warmth to my heart, just shows your level of your maturity!!! You have a beautiful family!

[@xiurong888]

Great reaction. O love the sound of the bass trombone on this arrangement.

[@ThePatriotPoet23]

I grew up listing to him as a young boy ....... You will discover as the years go by the more this song will mean to you...... It does my heart good to see you young people enjoying this kind of music ...... Be Well My Man

[@randomanton]

I haven't met a person who heard this song and hasn't liked it. It's that good

[@amarino5179]

The "summer wind" Is my fav blue eyes song. Just hits for me.

[@flubblert]

Hi sang two songs about to great American cities... "New York New York" and "My Kind of Town (Chicago Is)".

[@cheryljohnson733]

this was not his heyday of recording. he was much older at this time and had a truly remarkable career. Check out his work from the 1940s to 1960s.

[@russlanders6518]

My dad loved Sinatra ….this song reminds me of him

[@leapatterson2014]

We played this every year at our high school graduation. I really enjoyed your reaction. Also I appreciate you stretching your music knowledge by taking recommendations from your subscribers. Your doing that means a great deal to us.

Legend. American institution.

[@kensilverstone1656]

Possibly the best singer of the century. His flow is unmatched.

[@brettsmith902]

Music is the universal language, and being a music lover allows you to be open-minded enough to appreciate different genres and styles. Rap may be your first love, but you have opened your mind to experiencing stuff that is new to your ears. Appreciating and liking what you listen to broadens your knowledge.

[@nathanking6670]

My Way was played at my grandfather's funeral. Beautiful song that you appreciate more as you get older. I'm 27 and want this played at my funeral. I was a huge rap head myself but now I listen to all kinds of music. When listening to other genres of music, even ones you think are so far away from anything resembling rap, you start to realise just how much all the genres overlap and how much rap was inspired from other genres, whether unintentionally or unintentionally.

[@itchyandred4131]

Okay now that you've experienced "the crooner" old blue eyes you should check out the female crooner " Miss Peggy Lee" and her song "FEVER" she was something special.......R.I.P. Peggy 🙏✌️

[@dbradx]

Great song choice right here, and awesome to see how much you appreciate a classic song like this. This is is from before my time too, but my Dad was a fan, so I grew up listening to it and so many others. As I've grown older, so has my appreciation for songs and singers like this. Music comes in so many shapes, sounds and forms - it's a real shame that some people don't try to explore more, so good on you for always being open to giving something new a try. Peace and love from Canada!

[@c-wordplay]

Frank vocals are top notch

[@adamfigueroa8208]

That’s an ass kicking song Frankie is the chairman of the board!!!

[@jackasswhiskyandpintobeans9344]

The songs from this era are called, "The Great American Songbook." The GAS spans from about 1915-60. It's filled with standards influenced by Blues, Jazz and Soul.

[@MsRhodeman]

You should do his song that's life do the live version where he's singing it in person it's one of his really big hits too...😊❤

[@Boatzilla2]

Timeless classic. Great intro, Rico. "My Way." I saw Frank live in Yokohama when he was in his 70s. It it was a very good show. That's a cheap segue to let you know his "It Was A Very Good Year," is a great song to check out.

[@laraismyname821]

Now you need to join a bar trivia team. Every team needs a person who knows the obscure music questions. Think of the bar cash you can win! 😉

[@MsPharrington]

When my husband became a judge, he used this song. He absolutely loves Sinatra.

[@twiconnor643]

When you say this song could be used at a funeral, I know of a notable example. Alan Kulwicki was a racecar driver from Wisconsin with an engineering degree who entered NASCAR. Typically NASCAR drivers drive for a team owner, but with his engineering prowess and college education Kulwicki decided to form his own team with himself as the driver. He was an underdog for sure, but in 1992 he stunned the NASCAR world by capturing the Cup Series championship, beating out teams with far more funding and resources and becoming the first owner-driver in NASCAR’s modern era to accomplish such a feat. It’s easily the biggest championship upset in NASCAR history. But just months later, at only 38 years old, Kulwicki would perish in a plane crash. He was a fan of Sinatra and given his life story there was no more fitting final song to send him off to than “My Way”.

[@beanybun6110]

David Bowie wrote a set of lyrics for this music that was rejected in favour of those written by Paul Anka, as heard here - Bowie was annoyed so wrote Life on Mars, which adopted the same chord set up as a kind of half parody. True facts.

[@dougsusie2319]

Sinatra was the king of the crooners. Growing up in the sixties and seventies I would see him and the other crooners like Bing Crosby, Dean Martin and Gene Kelly to name a few on TV all of the time and never thought much about. I guess I thought that they would always be there like old friends but then they got old and died. As each passed away it was like wow! A steady constant from my childhood and then into being an adult were gone one by one. Kinda always sucked, ya know? I'm thankful I got to see them all. The old crooners rocked out in their own way and were cool dudes. ☮️✌️💕👌

[@robertsuter4671]

First time comment. I appreciate your willingness to listen to many different genres of music. People who enjoy new experiences and live to learn will change the world. If you haven’t a,ready, you might want to check out Sinatra’s duet with his daughter Nancy on Something Stupid or even another of his songs One For My Baby. Good stuff.

As a man i love listening to this whenever im questioning decisions ive made. Helps me put my mind back on track. Legendary track

[@Vicky61407]

My late mums fave record of all time. I’ve listened to all genres of music my whole life !! Except for rap/hiphop , that is until I discover Dave 2 years ago. Since bought his albums and seen him live. I now appreciate at 60 how poetic and clever with wordplay hiphop artists can be. We should never judge any genre of music until we’ve listened to it. If you do can back to Dave , I’d love to hear your reaction to heart attack/ panic attack or Psycho .. in fact practically any of his. Love your appreciation to different music .

[@christinelegate8137]

There is only one legendary Sinatra and that is Frank. Daughter Nancy had a few hits due to the Sinatra name but Frank is the legend.

[@patrickoconnell1580]

My beautiful dad was a fantastic singer and sung this at pubs and clubs, I was so proud of him, he was so popular, but unfortunately lost him at 58 with heart attack, dad this brings it all back, recklezz that was a lovely reaction, thank you

[@Herf18]

Love the message of the song. Just live your life the your way, don't be like others that kneel and follow. Be a leader. Be a hero

[@greggwilliamson]

"The Rat Pack" The "Crooners". Bing Crosby, Sammy Davis Jr, Dean Martin.

[@abefroman8821]

You took the initiative and were open minded. I know what you mean. I grew up to hip hop in the 90s but expanded myself

[@jenniezamek2849]

Frank was called "the Chairman of the Board". FYI, Frank and Elvis did a duet together! Frank sings Elvis's song, and Elvis sings a song by Frank. It's really cool. Two MAJOR ICONS together.

[@GAMINGWITHTRUE]

As a 43 y/o man, I thank my father (RIP) for introducing me to his music from the '50's and anything after that up until he passed. While I grew up in the Golden Era of Hip Hop '80's and 90's I appreciated mixing in Frank Sinatra, Beatles, Elvis, Queen etc. Good music is good music PERIOD! Good to see you reacting to this. Keep up the good work.

[@lisaray9944]

Frank Sinatra ….. or as most called him the Chairman of the Board …. This song has been played at most of my family members funeral…. The Rat Pack where the greatest …. Go check out their music …. Frank and the Rat Pack are the Original in the movie Oceans 11 back in 1960 …. You should do a reaction to that Movie I would be there front row with Popcorn

[@mathieubuchholtz460]

Thanks a lot. Love your commentary. Huge song! Iconic in every language. My fav (with for me goosebumps guaranteed) is the original in French by Claude François. But also like hugely Sinatra's and Nina Simones' covers and the terrible rendition by Sid Vicious. In 1968, David Bowie wrote the lyrics "Even a Fool Learns to Love", set to the music of the original 1967 French song "Comme d'habitude", composed by Claude François and Jacques Revaux. Bowie's version was never released, but Paul Anka bought the rights to the original and rewrote it into "My Way". The success of Anka's version prompted Bowie to write "Life on Mars?" as a parody of Sinatra's recording. Bowie noted that Rick Wakeman "embellished the piano part" of his original melody and Mick Ronson created a fantastic string parts. The liner notes for Bowie's 1971 album "Hunky Dory "indicate that the song was "inspired by Frankie". Bowie, several times sang "My way". Here is an awesome document where David's talking about "Comme d'habitude". A delight. kzbin.info/www/bejne/ommvhqqPmNCob7c

[@seandooley226]

To me, this song is a music masterpiece of what it is to be your own man. The last verse, - To say the things he truly feels and not the words of one who kneels... a song about being a strong respectable man, a desirable quality that is getting either lost, redefined or misunderstood in today's world with the younger generation as they begin to have greater influence in society.

[@debrabeck9630]

I love your ability to put yourself into any kind of music and react from the heart. Thank you.

[@guyturbide6348]

Your gonna appreciate Frank Sinatra LIVE with the song 🎵 Where are the Clowns 🎵🎵🎵 Keep the good work my friend ✌

[@jennhurl]

The ending sounding like a musical is a great analogy, Rico. If that's how you associate it - that's cool to share. That's what we're here for! The chorus crescendos up, then instrumental decrescendos, ending with a chorus fade out. I can, and probably have, seen that onstage in a musical.

[@tomk475]

Such a good voice. You should listen to “Unforgettable” by Nat King Cole too. Another legend

[@Malka18]

Frank's singing style, particulary his phrasing was and is unique to him from his start in the big bands of the 40's and has been much studied and emulated by singers after him to this day. . In his younger years he also was the first singer to have created a a phenomenal fan base of devoted teenaged girls called the "bobby soxers" (like my Grandmother), who screamed and swooned "oh Frankie" at his early appearances. Of course his popularity grew and exceeded beyond that of a teenage idol, to becoming a legend in his own time. There was and is only a once in a lifetime phenom performers like Frank Sinatra as there is and was only one Elvis Presley, or Luciano Pavarotti. ( honorable mention) to the screaming devotees of the Beatles.

[@antoinettelopes]

My 2nd favorite song of all-time. I was lucky enough to see Frank at Radio City Music Hall when I was a freshman in college. It's sadly one of my greatest achievements. 😄 He also did my second favorite song of his that night "The House I Live In". It was part of a movie so the KZbin clip has a little part with him talking to kids but it's cool to check out if you don't react to it. Frank was considered "the Chairman of the Board". He was bigger than Elvis. There's actually a clip of him and Elvis doing a duet where they sing each other's songs. kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z6LTfmWtiKlqeKM It's crazy when you think of that moment in time. There's even another clip of little Michael Jackson singing part of one of his songs. kzbin.info/www/bejne/nWGVgHWhrqaMpsU But here real quick look at this (not a reaction) kzbin.info/www/bejne/fpavi2ZqhJp8e68 So many of these greats overlapped that it's insane what a crappy century we're stuck in now. All we can do is teach you young peeps about the good old days. 🙏🏼

[@jayarr961]

'That's Life' is one of those Sinatra songs, where he seemed to enjoy himself while singing it. I was fortunate to see him live one night in Ottawa, when I was about 22. He performed as a favor to Ottawa boy, Rich Little, to help raise money for the Children's Hospital. I went with both of my parents and I am so glad I did. My Way was one of my Father's favorite songs, but he loved them all. He played Frank in our house for as long as I remember. My Father is gone now, I am 65 and I have introduced this man and his voice, to my children. I was not a fan, as a teenager, but I love the guy now.
