Frank Sinatra - Didn't We (Royal Festival Hall)

Maybe 3000 people in the hall and yet he can create a feeling of exquisite intimacy. -a wondrous artist.

In 2023 i living alone in nyc and this sad and beautiful song come in my mind everything and I was remembered and then, in my home my family waiting for me and then I coming back to my country, but this song I never forget, because I was remember this hard times, but wen I remember I fell hope I’m my heart again.

[@mjlejer3241]

Very simply, THE MASTER! NO one before, during or since Sinatra's reign can compare, he is simply the very best, a born perfectionist who took that trait into his music, so that his phrasing, enunciation of words, pitch, breath control and vocal emotion are just incomparable! Perfection personified.

[@janwintz89]

So touching. as only Sinatra could evoke.....

[@siliconesal]

Not without the writers ... he always gave them the credit - you didn’t

[@williamholden7573]

A master of all that is singing.

[@marilynschneider7691]

There will NEVER be another Sinatra!!!

[@marycrow3939]

The greatest entertainer of the 20th century. Which must mean of all time

[@russellb1706]

We definitely won't see his like again.

[@BenjaminVincentVocalist]

Unquestionable authority of his craft from the opening lyric to the descending embers of the closing note. With each breath he embraces his own magnetic vulnerability. A performance personifying class.

[@andyhiscox9194]

No one knows a broken heart like Sinatra 💙

[@kataysmith9581]

I say that most of his songs are about Ava

[@saintcruzin]

She broke his heart but gave us the most beautiful interpretations ever put on record…

[@andresrtorres6895]

No gimmickry. No spectacles. He just sang. Pure. Clear.. Silky smooth. Emotions running so naturally like innocent, genuine confessions. Didn't We sounds fresh as this morning. Doesn't it?

[@suelilevi]

Frank loved to do shows in London Eva Gardener was always in the Orleans, he wants her to be there.

[@fido652]

Yes. Fresh as now.

[@randalcolucci6833]

Frank had a way of making you think he was singing in your living room when he performed his "saloon songs". I like to listen to FAS w a glass of JD on the rocks, especially if I am melancholy. He was, to me, the best.

[@akrenwinkle]

@@suelilevi Sounds like something Norm Crosby would have said... if anyone remembers his act.

[@rogerzotti1]

Perfectly said ...

[@123Rockchild]

So pretty...Frank always gave credit to the song composers and arrangers.

[@kataysmith9581]

This song makes me want to cry. I can feel his pain over his heartbreak.

[@bertbretherton]

Phraseology supreme. Perfect pitch. The best. The voice. No one before. No one since.

[@johnnysrbin]

bertbretherton that’s why he’s the GOAT. When you listen him singing it’s like reading a story or watching a movie. Unique, unique performer...

[@bertbretherton]

[@mikemmikem2758]

Whenever he these sang torch songs it's as if he was singing to every soul in the audience personally. Watching him sing was like watching Rembrandt paint one of his masterpieces. Thanks Frank.

[@judithbarvinek6649]

I could listen to him until my last breath

[@JohanLebbing]

That is a nice comment.........so do i...❤👍👍👍

I grew hearing his songs. My father was a fan. I still have his records and I play them everytime I can. Love his music.

It’s like he’s in your living room, singing only for you. Intimate. Miss him. I was raised on Sinatra. I did the same with my kids-VESSIO. 🙏🏽😥❤️

[@Baz6711]

Frank Sinatra was a massive influence on me, both musically and in other ways. I saw him live three times in London. One of those times at the Royal Albert Hall, after the show, I was walking out of one door and Frank was walking out of the parallel door at the same time. A few people were standing by his limo and he was signing autographs for them. He would usually stay at the Savoy Hotel, not that far away in fact. I just stood there with my friend Maureen, maybe 15 feet away from him and froze like the iceberg that Titanic hit! ( These days I would have had a word or two). Years later , having made my mark in music, I was a member of the " Sinatra Forum" for ten years. I met Nancy backstage at the Royal Festiva;l Hall in London and had quite a bit of correspondence with her. The top guys in the world are always " different" I'd say. They create their own reality. RIP Frank. xxx

[@dianesolomon7228]

we will never ever see the likes of him again !

[@elainebartholomew3374]

OMG I never heard him sing this live before. His voice, his tone, his emotion, his ability to feel the song and tell the story, with the fearlessness to lay himself bare. Because that’s what he did,!! It touches my soul. We will never see his like again. Bravo Frank, you are the classiest of them all ♥️

[@elaineculbert8594]

@Elaine B. - Frank doesn’t just sing his songs but truly ‘acts’ the story the lyrics are telling us, the audience. It has been said that Ava Gardner was the woman he was thinking of when he sang this song.

[@jimwelsh997]

This here is the greatest singer to ever live. MR. FRANK SINATRA when he is singing a song you can feel the feelings. And looking at Frank he is feeling it. Sophia I can't remember her last name but she is the one that Frank Sinatra is feeling a lot of pain from. Every man not young man know what he is feeling like I do. There's one woman in every man's life who he never stops loving there's always one that one. RIGHT MAN younger guys think they know. Now not yet when you are in your 60s and you start to realize time is running out in your life. That one woman hurts more and more cause you truly still love that one. That you will never get back.

[@voicegirl555]

I have always loved this Jimmy Webb song. One of the great love songs of all time. It takes a singer, a really GOOD SINGER, to sing it! Francis Albert Sinatra you were a GREAT SINGER! You make this song fly right to the soul. Gone 22 years ago and still bringing entertaining and bringing joy. Thank You Mr. S!!!

Saw him in concert in Tampa when he was at the end of his career. Wasn't prime Frank but I was happy to have experienced it with a singer my parents loved. I grew up w Sinatra but also many other wonderful singers of that era thanks to my dad who was a great trumpet and trombone player in his day who wanted to be a musician. God, what a difference from today. Sad, very sad....even tragic.
