Frank Sinatra - A Man Alone

[@davidgleason3379]

If someone cannot listen to this and not feel any emotion I feel sad for what they are missing. Unfortunately we don't have anything to compare to with today's music but one thing we are so fortunate to go back on KZbin and be able to view the greatness of Sinatra Dean Martin Andy Williams AL MARTINO burt Bacharach and so many of this area of music that was so good.

[@soldatodellaliberta]

This Man is Music, he was the cause of your laughter and make that laughter turn into tears at the flip of a note. Nobody will ever even come close to how great Sinatra was and continues to be even today. The world suffered a great lost the day we lost Frank Sinatra, because we all knew there will never be another man like him. Though we are lucky to still have his music and videos like these, to remind ourselves he may bo gone, be will also be eternally omnipresent.

[@coololds85]

You can tell he was feeling down because of the pain of the expression on his face when he sang those deep hurt songs. That's why he sang with so much feeling. I listen to so many Sinatra songs. When I'm hurt I turn to his cycles, man alone, some nice things I've missed and she shot me down albums. All of those albums can really make a difference. Sinatra did stuff your own consular couldn't do. He understood what you were feeling and that made you feel better in the end.

[@TheJazzyVaudevillian]

Frank Sinatra was a truly gifted and talented actor and he included that gift in his singing.

coololds85 totally spot on man even the greatest men like frank Sinatra have to face their own soul and it’s empty feeling, and at least frank was brave and tried to reconnect with him self, a lot of people hide in a beer or drugs . Last month was I very bad time for me my father my auntie and a old school mate all died with in two weeks of each other and if it wasn’t for frank Sinatra and his wonderful words and music I too might of done something stupid.. nice one for your insight man .

This one really hits home..I'm a man in my late 50's whose divorced & single again. Was brought up by parents who adored Frank. As a child I listened to the album, "My Way" on the record player endlessly. Such heartfelt wisdom in Frank's music that I find comforting. I thank God for blessing the world with his musical genius 🙏. RIP Old Blue Eyes. You put smiles on a lot of our faces. I'm grateful for having been able to see him perform on two occasions.

Of course I would add my own chord changes, and alter my lead lines ~just enough~, to keep the audience guessing and wanting more~!~ Plus using techniques I learned from the great ~Larry Carlton~, (the man who can DELIVER THE SHIVERS) some people from the audience would actually tell me that they got the chills from my lead melody lines~!~ That always made me so very happy,, because Larry Carlton gave me the shivers all the time~!~ Mr. Sinatra does exactly the same thing to us ALL~!~

[@mjleger4555]

Francis Albert Sinatra was a man who was capable of very deep emotions, deep love, even deep depression at times, and it is his heart opening with those emotions that makes his ballads of this kind so very real, so memorable, so feeling. He KNEW the highs, he had a lot of fun and laughter, and he knew the lows in life as well, and they affected him deeply. He is so REAL! You can hear it in his voice in many of the sadder lyrics. He was a musical genius, also a perfectionist. And he sang with all the heart and emotion that make his songs more memorable than anyone else in history, and I doubt anyone will ever equal him again. It's been almost a quarter of a century since he died and his songs STILL demand listening, and he gains new devotees every year. He just HAS IT, and new listeners keep recognizing that and demand to hear more! Thank goodness we have his recordings and videos to keep him going strong!

Sinatra was always finding new ways of expressing his talent for "saloon" songs. The "A Man Alone" lp is an underrated masterpiece of poetry and songs. His performance of "Forget to Remember" was recorded just after his divorce to Mia and his pain is evident in these songs. When he sings, you believe. Thanks for this, so very touching....

[@MJLeger-yj1ww]

+saintcruzin The pain you hear in his voice was NOT for Mia, she was a short 3 year-wife that he divorced...the pain was for Ava Gardner, the one woman he wanted but could not keep and who broke his heart.  Sad. THANK YOU FOR PROVIDING THESE TWO SONGS, LOVELY!

[@saintcruzin3190]

+M.J. Leger It is true Ava broke his heart and taught him how to feel songs like this but his Ava divorce was 1957. This is a decade later. Don't be fooled by their age, Sinatra loved Mia...

[@MJLeger-yj1ww]

@@saintcruzin3190 Not really, like a child maybe! Mia was a child and acted like one! It couldn't work.

[@saintcruzin]

M.J. Leger They were life long loves. Mia claims her son is Frank’s and not Woody’s. He sure looks like Frank. Hear Mia talk about him, she still loves him. He wanted Mrs Sinatra and she wanted a career...They loved each other, no doubt...

[@mjleger4555]

FS wasn't thinking of Mia in these songs, he had said he thought it wouldn't work and it didn't, he divorced her. It was the one who captured his heart and then threw it away that is in his mind when he sings these songs of lost love, Ava.

There are other singers whose singing I enthusiastically enjoy but Frank Sinatra remains, some sixteen years after he left us, my favorite singer of the popular song. He sang with a combination of truthful emotion, a significantly high degree of technical musicality and an appropriate sense of "showmanship" that, in my opinion, no other singer has ever come close to matching.

Frank Sinatra's songs are like fine wine for me. I firstly listened to his song when I'm was fourteen. "Fly me to the moon", "Moonlight serenade" or "Girl from Ipanema" and others like these. Simple and clear songs, understandable for a youth in love. Now I can conceive "A man alone" or "Why try to change me now?". It seems to me that perhaps in a couple of years I'll be able to get the meaning of "Cycles". And in the end it would be "It was a very good year". The older you become, the more you understand Frank Sinatra. He is one and only singer who can do a magic like that.

I was honored to recieve the Album that contained the song ," A Man Alone" , as a gift from my boss at Random House , Mr, Bennett Cerf , before the record was even released yet. It was a collection of songs written by Rod Mckuen , the poet. This must have been a show that Sinatra did with various other songs as well. He was sounding great as usual. I like his version of "Didnt We, "written by Jimmy Webb.

[@MrImiller07]

I place this television special as being filmed in 1968, the same year that Sinatra starred in "The Detective" and subsequently divorced Mia Farrow, who declined to leave "Rosemary's Baby" in mid production at Sinatra's request. Sinatra had previously recorded "Forget To Remember" for Capitol in the 50s. Sinatra became enamored with the poetry and music of Rod McKuen, who wrote the "Man Alone" album with Sinatra in mind. His resident composers had been Sammy Cahn and Jimmy Van Heusen, who wrote most of the signature songs that Sinatra was identified with during the 50s and 60s, i.e. All The Way, My Kind Of Town, Come Fly With Me, High Hopes, Love and Marriage and Call Me Irresponsible.

That was a long time ago...and when a good song came on, you just had that one chance to listen..that was it.
