Frank Sinatra Jr. "Nancy (With The Laughing Face)" on The Ed Sullivan Show

[@klipkultur2951]

His mother Nancy Barbato died two years after him at the age of 101 years. RIP both of them, and Frank!

Rest in Peace Frank Sinatra Nancy Barbato Sinatra and Frank Sinatra Jr Amen and Amen

[@krissmgvlogs]

Must have been difficult living in the shadow of such a famous father but he seemed to embrace it, didn't try to run away from it. He was very talented too.

[@lonestarfriend]

Talented musician and singer in his own right.

Rest in Peace Frank Sinatra Nancy Barbato Sinatra and Frank Sinatra Jr Amen and Amen

The way he says "summer" gives me chills everywhere

[@johndavies8956]

That was fabulous. He even looks like his dad

[@MrRacket991]

Disagree. He looked more like his dad when he aged. In his younger days he looked like mom.

[@TomElvisSmith]

He's got a similar style to his dad, who this song was associated with. I would love to see Connie Francis's segment on this episode as she sang some great songs, "With a Song in My Heart", "I Left My Heart in San Francisco", "You're Nobody 'til Somebody Loves You" and "Al Di La". Also, I'd love to see big band singer Helen Forrest sing "I've Heard that Song Before" with the Tommy Dorsey Orchestra on this show.

[@poorringo]

In the 60's record companies pushed him to do rock and pop music, but that's not where his heart was. He is a fan of the old standards and big bands. He should have had a much bigger career than he did, but he got to conduct for his father, that must have been an honor. He is also so knowledgeable on a range of topics when he speaks.

Beautiful... Thank you for sharing! 💖

[@bryanismyname7583]

Tough position to be in, singing the same songs and in the same arena as your dad. His sister took a different tack, singing in the then-more contemporary style popular at the time and she managed to chart a few hits. I think Jr. should've recorded more albums, as the handful he did are hard to obtain now.

[@RCALivingStereo]

Sounds like the crooning 40’s frank. There’s three Frank’s 40’s crooning 50’s-early 60’s swinging frank 70’s on mellow frank

[@nilanjanabhattacharjee8266]

I agree!

[@ricardosierra-show4855]

So beautiful song dedícated to his mome...

[@sergeypozdnyak7021]

Спасибо.

[@martinbench3657]

Should have been a big star

[@alangolias7496]

Good talent underated

[@russellb1706]

Just great!

[@quiteright623]

Jr. did a great job and was talented in His own right considering the shoes he had to fill ..

[@KajiVocals]

Interesting that he turned out to be a tenor, unlike his father who was a baritone.

[@josephschauster3689]

Interesting

[@Sacha_Kudli]

Voices are not genetic

[@KajiVocals]

@@Sacha_Kudli There is a proven link to voice types (timbre specifically) and genetics.

[@JudgeJulieLit]

@@Sacha_Kudli Perhaps Frank, Jr. inherited some of his mother's voice, however that sounded (not baritone).

[@kerryknauf8196]

Lovely

[@ricardosierra-show4855]

Ed Sullivan have a lot of Latino fans please we would like to see the performance of " los 5 Latinos" cantando "El Relicario" on May 10, 1964 THANK YOU !!!

[@purlofgreatprice1]

I love his voice even more than his dad's.

[@lauras7352]

Smooth. Am surprised he was not a heart throb at the time.

[@EmzBJD99]

lol ive never watched old stuff before i actually like this song >.<

[@MrRacket991]

He was a 20-year-old kid performing on a national show in the shadow of the most over-hyped performer in history. He does remarkably well.

[@reneleclerc6119]

If you want to see Nancy's "Laughing Face," check out either the clip with her singing "The Last of the Secret Agents," or "Sugar Town."

[@samludu5916]

It was bad enough for Junior that he was named Frank. It was doubly bad that he chose to sing his father's patented songs. Frankly, it was nuts that Junior covered "Nancy" about his sister.

[@JudgeJulieLit]

In above video, he covered "Nancy" about his mother. In another 1960s tv performance (perhaps the Sullivan show) he and sister Nancy, Jr. sang a lovely duet cover of "Somethin' Stupid," which she had recorded with her father. Their emoting of it made clear that their love was sibling affection (as in Donny and Marie duet covers of love songs). They did it as they had the harmonizing vocal talents to make it work.

[@RODRIGOR300]

He was only 20 there.

[@OmayraPacheco-m7n]

Written for Chicken.❤❤❤Frank is singing to his Mom. Nancy Barbato.😊

[@josephschauster3689]

Nice song. Sounds like his father

[@aslanlovett4059]

First. This is pleasant

[@nilanjanabhattacharjee8266]

He sounds similar with 40s Frank Sinatra style.

[@JudgeJulieLit]

Yes, the younger Sinatra voice and romantic idealism, as when in the 1940s Frank, Sr. sang "Dream."

[@mikecalvin74]

Uncanny

[@markord7054]

He is very uncomfortable with what he is doing look at how he is blinking

[@markord7054]

Ranking is an involuntary

[@markord7054]

Reaction that the body takes when it is when you are lying or you're totally uncomfortable

[@nilanjanabhattacharjee8266]

He's nervous!

[@RODRIGOR300]

He was only 20 there.
