Frank Sinatra Jr. was an equally tremendous loss to the music world when he passed. An eloquent speaker, consummate musician, and proud torchbearer. All class.

No he was not. That is a ridiculous statement. Jerry Lewis’s son probably has more pop success is he such a loss

@gregmatyas4272 10 ай бұрын

No not all class, yes there was a time where he was great but like most (especially nowadays) he kept performing much to long and wasn’t very good and was pretty much just a drunk who was there for the $$.

Frank Jr. was always in his Father's shadow, but I love the way he embraced it. On his own, Sinatra Jr. was a talented, smart, well balanced guy, with a dry wit. I wish we had him longer.

I had the great pleasure in meeting Frank Sinatra Jr. And having a fairly lengthy conversation about a variety of subjects. He was articulate, very serious, intelligent and self aware. I found him to be a real gentleman.

I met Frank Jr. in 1977 at a bar called Hoops in Mt.Vernon N.Y. he was performing with a 7 piece band in this small club. Before his first set he was playing the pin ball machine in the bar. When he finished the game I took my girlfriend over to meet him. He was very gracious and gladly let us take a photo with my girlfriend and signed the back of the Polaroid. Very nice down to earth guy.

You can tell he admired his father greatly. It's interesting that he never referred to his father as father, dad, or pop. It was Mr Sinatra.

When I was growing up in the 1950's, my Dad would make tape recordings of all the great singers, comedians, actors, etc. Sinatra, Bob Hope, Dean Martin, Jack Benny, the list goes on. We'd watch them on TV and in the movies. Now (as a 70-something), when I see them on various screens, they're like family. I miss 'em, and I'm the one making the recordings. If only my Dad could see me now!

Very touching. I met Jr. at Nate N' Al's in Beverly Hills, minutes after driving by his father's house in Bev Hills on Foothill Drive (he was still alive at the time. Much later we saw Jr. in concert in San Diego. He was great.

I don't think they had to adapt that much in the 60s to rock and roll. Dean knocked the Beatles off the chart with Everybody Loves Somebody and Franks New York New York and My Way were big hits with the younger generations.

No such thing as “better music”. There’s simply good music and bad music. The rat pack also covered some of these relatively newer artists songs ( in order to keep up with the times) and appeared together with Sinatra as Elvis did when they sang a duet together on nationwide TV.
