Frank Sinatra - Luck Be A Lady (At The Sands)

Luck Be A Lady, performed by Frank Sinatra at The Sands, with Count Basie's Orchestra. I own no rights, but I really like this song.

[@rontanase5830]

Yeah this is the ultimate Sinatra album live or otherwise. Period.

[@loveyouall66]

DAMN! BASIE AND HIS GUYS SWING THE HELL OUT THIS SONG. BEST VERSION THAT I HAVE HEARD.

[@Babygirl61868]

loveyouall66 I think Basie swings the hell out of these songs too. I was listening to Fly Me To The Moon and Count Basie slew it.

[@michaelcollins237]

Every version was the best pal Every version

[@ronaldreeker6854]

THE BEST ALBUM SINATRA EVER RECORDED. his legacy will life on forever. he was a CLASSIC that never can be duplicated.

[@florenceroux6387]

RONALD REEKER ah this voice !! When « Strangers in the night » was released I wasn’t even born. In France, he was well-known, even famous, but his music wasn’t play very often on radios. My dear and late father made me discover « the Voice », it was magic ! I can listen to him all day long 😍😍😍 What a singer, what an entertainer !

[@wackneyhick7129]

Sinatra's voice was showing its age, though he was still a vocal master of swing.

[@lestermatos2989]

That along with Judy at Carnegie Hall. These are pretty stellar

[@merkury06]

The quality of this recording is outstanding. Frank is a natural

[@marilinwisbey7403]

Spot-on , this album,, is the " bollox ,from UK, I'm a lady's but, I swear , ,

[@markgundy]

One of the Chairman's signature songs, with backing by one of the tightest bands in history

[@ferdinandfrancis9673]

One of the greatest live recording ever.

[@loveyouall66]

YES!

[@visionquesttraders]

Simply the best singer of popular music ever. No one can even come close with Frank's presentation of a song. I miss him very much. Thanks Frank for the music you left us.

[@kylehirabara7183]

My favorite Frank Sinatra song ever. !!!!! His voice with that orchestra, the overall beat with the arrangement of the instruments is in the stratosphere,so beautifully out of this world. So awesome, i never get tired listening to this song !!!!

[@MrPistolMason]

Count Bassey's orchestra rocks out . . . and what a fabulous arrangement by Quincy Jones.

[@totalwar1793]

Best version of this song!

[@georgiannecoppolo5584]

I am a lucky lady because I have this original album framed on the wall of my very exclusive" FRANK SINATRA ROOM", needless to say it my especially favorite room of all!!

[@joepelly1551]

I'm jealous

[@georgiannecoppolo5584]

Hi Joe, I just read you're reply ,its good to know there are still some Frank Sinatra fans out there.Glad you are jealous, all is not lost! Ha!

[@johnbisceglie1835]

The absolute best recordings ever by frank and the count!!!!!

[@alex90andru]

I love this song one of my favorites God Bless America

[@johncamacho8571]

Let me say that Frank Sinatra with Count Basie Orquestra and Quincy is the best music you will ever hear in your life period.

[@bobbyfamig]

This has to be one of the greatest live recordings

[@BLUTOV]

I get so fired up hearing this track.

[@richardcondon3797]

Here you have frank at his best with the count and his men behind him. doesn't get better.

[@lffit]

I have this CD, bought my first LP of this in the sixties, I have been told it was recorded over a period of different nights. Has never dated; a magic recording!!!

[@GERRYMALONEY47]

What a fantastic voice and a great man we don't have people like this anymore we have people like the kartrashians all of the greats are gone and no one is left to replace them

[@Mysterons100]

Frank Sinatra had a beautiful voice, Count Basie had the musical intelligence and his wonderful orchestra were good at what they did. Together, they made a fabulous sound!

[@richardcondon3797]

those horns floating around that hi-c level.

[@michaelscott7462]

Back in the mid 90s an older gentleman said to me" check out Frank". I then purchases this disk. My life is defined by this recording... before Frank and after Frank.

[@richardcondon3797]

Can you imagine what it took to keep these guys on stage through something like this ?

[@NJbakintheday]

Frank Sinatra, Count Basie, Quincy Jones... GIANTS!

[@DavidEdgertonJr]

This record makes me want to go buy a analog record player and the album right now

[@cristianvargasmiquel777]

¡¡¡ CHILE ¡¡¡ FRANK SINATRA - COUNT BASIE .....WERE.BRILLANT

[@alwayssinatra583]

No one can sing this song like Sinatra !,! 💕 Love the Band they are swinging , all pros 💕

[@wlipman]

One thing most people don't know is that the drummer for the Basie Band at this time was Sonny Payne. Just listen to the drums here, and everywhere else on this album, then ask yourself if there is any doubt in your mind that Sonny Payne was Sinatra's single favorite drummer, ever?

[@annyc5814]

I adore this album

[@pjones8404]

Sonny is a true legend. But there was often tension between Frank and Sonny. The "in the right tempo" comment he makes is a direct shot at Sonny's sometimes pushing of the song's speeds. Irv Cottler was probably his favorite drummer seeing they worked together for almost 30 years. But oh my this is a fierce and brilliant song from one of the best live performances of any style!

[@peetasw]

I was fortunate to see Sinatra three times. Lucky too to have the friendship of Matt Monro, 'Britain's Sinatra'. ( Bond movie From Russia with Love soundtrack and lots of gold records). He told me once, "Anyone who does not like Sinatra has got shit in their ears."

[@johnguilfoil7534]

Buddy who?

[@arame29]

Sonny was stigmatized because of the stick twirling But he could swing Mel Lewis was critical of Sonny not sitting more in the pocket

[@Johnlindsey289]

When I saw Mrs doubtfire in theaters at 11 and it introduced me to this

[@jacksonwerner430]

You can tell they're having fun with this one. So great :)

[@StardumStarz86]

Amazing

[@anths2028]

Sensational.

[@TheMk1960]

I actually like this version better than the studio version from 1963 ( and I love that one). I like the faster tempo on the live version, and Basie's guys just swing the daylights out of it.

[@KingHenrikLundqvist]

NEW JERSEY! These two men are the only reason why I'm proud to call myself a New Jerseyan!

[@brianharris7986]

First time hearing this...HOT DAMN!!

[@pastachief385]

Very easily earns a place at my playlist of my favourite Frank songs! And with Count Basie's orchestra? This is coming from a 15 year old; this music is the best!

[@margeshilling7983]

You know, it's amazing how many songs Sinatra sang that he made his own-"Night and Day", "Luck be a Lady", "Witchcraft" -the list goes on. The greatest male singer ever.

[@eric2181965]

It would've been nice if this actual recording was on video. Quincy Jones did a bad ass arrangement here.

[@bj2896]

My favorite Frank album. Love all the tunes and the arrangements. Nothing like Basie! Q, well,he kinda stole the arrangements :-) Love all of the talking in between songs Makes you feel like you're really there!!!!!!!

[@bigredmatt1011]

Truly one of the greatest albums of any sort ever made. Basie and the band swing so hard and Frank could phrase a song better than nearly anyone.

[@pastachief385]

I would love to the opportunity to go to The Sands. After seeing the hotel in the Timeless series makes me want me to go even more. Thanks for the upload, best version of this song I could find!

[@JonathanMcKey]

Never Will Happen Though.

[@jeremymorrall6750]

I have heard that the great music one used to hear in Vegas began to disappear when the mafia was gradually driven out!

[@carlgeorge3711]

In Kansas City at the Kuaffman Center for Performing Arts the Jazz Band is going to do the entire album with Ron Gueitierez singing, I have seen the Jazz band, they are fantastic, I have not heard Ron sing in person, (only on you tube) One show only May 14, Can't wait.

[@naughtmoses]

Henry & Karen Hill there at that little table right below the microphone.

[@aishahwhitaker6394]

Sinatra & Basie--nuff said!!!!!!!

Yes, he's FrancisAlbertSinatra, the Singer ,the Crooner, theVOICE, he's the Only One ,nobody like Sinatra

[@MarkBlackburnWPG]

SINATRA - Luck Be A Lady “We turn now to the score of a picture I was in once, called Guys and Dolls” says Sinatra, to an audience in Las Vegas circa 1966. “It is a song by Frank Loesser - and a story about one guy and a pair of dice.” There are videos of live performances on early color TV of Sinatra singing the most famous song composed (words & tune) by Frank Loesser. Several such videos at KZbin, with as many as 8 million 'views'. But fans who own his every recorded version (there are several) agree: the “Sinatra at the Sands” album best captures the magic of Frank at his very best: which is to say, in live performance, with the tightest of jazz bands - the Count Basie Orchestra, arranged and conducted by Quincy Jones. Playing right this minute on Siriusly Sinatra satellite radio. This version: Thanks, Fragmaster3000 for sharing. Celebrated this day elsewhere [search] " Great Melody, Great Lyric, Great Rendition, Songwriting Workshop, Harmony Central " kzbin.info/www/bejne/iIXVempqeq1qjpI

[@BlueSkiesCali]

I have the whole album. All fabulous. Da Count, Frankie Baby, and Q. How sweet it is :-)

[@richardcondon3797]

So the one thing he had in life was luck. The luck to be born Frank Albert Sinatra.

Thank for posting, a bonus track.

[@ronaldbrumwell8414]

The king of swing! Period.

[@thenormalone6753]

This Album is one of his best, and I heard a lot

[@richardcondon3797]

this was a song he hummed when he played the vegas tables. it didn't help him but it sure sounded nice. he was a nice guy, always stopped to say hello and helped a lot of people.

[@pedroballadares5253]

Damas y Caballeros el ùnico, el incomparable, La VOZ , Francis Albert Sinatra , nadie como él!!!

[@johnguilfoil7218]

Sheeeeeeeit

[@pattyvalinch4196]

Swings like mad!!

[@dylanburns5780]

One of his best though especially with the bellagio fountain

[@MikeLandicovers]

Great performance.

[@plang527]

Nassau Coliseum- Nov, 15 1991, Section 119 Row G Seat 1 - his Diamond Jubilee World Tour with Steve Lawrence and Eydie Gorme. I was 25 years old. I still have the ticket stub. And you're correct.

[@sergebaron9086]

Frank and his boys doing their things swinging out.!!!!!!

[@TheStockwell]

Don't buy "Sinatra at the Sands" to get this performance. It's not there. This performance was from the Jan 28, 1966 show. The show was officially/finally released in 2018 on the 3-CD collection "Frank Sinatra: Standing Room Only."

[@MrPuros]

I bought the CD. The recording is good but Luck be a Lady is not on it, correct!

[@JonathanMcKey]

@Michael Brent Yeah, exactly. My Grandpa has the '98 CD.

[@MidnightJazzer]

Absolutely Awesome Arranging" Here's an interesting piece of Jazz music history for Sinatra's famous performance of "Luck be a Lady" Written by Frank Loesser in 1959 for the film Guys & Dolls. Along with this is an interesting bit of song composing history, then arranged By Bill May in 1963 & road show arrangement adapted by Quincy Jones for Frank Sinatra & Count Basie's Live tour and famous Live Show at the Las Vegas Sands. Sinatra kept this arrangement in his band book and then the final studio recording on his label (the Reprise label) of the original 1963 arrangement version on the Sinatra 65 album.

[@calle4fornia]

Nach wie vor, schön...

[@fredrighetti]

FRANK IS THE BEST CIAO DA FRED RIGHETTI MILANO JAZZ, BYE, ITALY

[@sergebaron9086]

Guys and Dolls THAT sound about right.

[@AlbertMaruggi]

now think of this, Qunicy Jones did this album and Michael Jackson's Thriller - that's talent

[@loveyouall66]

SHOWS US JUST HOW TALENTED THE MAN IS. READ IS AUTO-BIOGRAPHY. QUINCY STATED THAT MUSIC SAVED HIS LIFE.

[@MegaGum1]

There was Judy At Carnegie Hall, Aretha Amazing Grace and THIS

[@carolabecker8219]

I feel like dancing all around the room right now!! Sinatra, they broke the mold when he came along. Can someone tell me why he says “eleven” at the end...is that a lucky number or something?

[@murph3001]

He's at the dice table in this song and rolls the dice ____ thus ___ 11

[@multibucker]

I think in Craps you can make a high stakes bet on rolling an 11 in one shot. If you can do it, it pays 17 to 1!

[@richardcondon3797]

The band leader lived in Queens the singer in Hoboken.

[@AlessioRomaMusic]

🌍❤🎶🎶

[@richardcondon3797]

The Count employed all the hi C trumpets. He turned them loose and Sinatra built on it. then there Q who Sinatra found and got in 1964 who turned his career around with this kind of arranging. Q did it gain with Thriller. Sinatra left Q his gold pinky ring and it still see the light of day.

[@ADuckOnARockProDucktions]

Crazy that someone gave this a thumbs down, what a waste of time and energy.

[@sootycakes]

man this is hot

[@billmartin7009]

Basics horns were one. Super tight

[@Captain-wc6vj]

A Lady doesn't leave her escort...

[@rickdavenport9538]

Before Micheal it was Frank and Count Basie..

[@AngelNoriega1]

Does Sinatra shout “11” at the end of the song?

[@trayballa7975]

AngelNoriega1 I think so 🌬🌬🌬

[@TheMk1960]

Yes he does shout "11!" like he was shooting craps.

[@biggrex]

I always assumed it meant he rolled an 11 with the dice..and if you remember the film Ocean's 11 from 1960.

[@JuanPabloVitaliMusica]

Eleven!

[@richardcondon3797]

Just watching 'the getaway' with mc queen and who wrote the music---Quincy jones. Get you some of that.

[@dantean]

SWING IT, JACK!!!

[@robertyoung8809]

Are you KIDDING???!!

[@TheAgeOfAnalog]

I'm confused. I don't see this track listed on any version of this record.

[@TheStockwell]

It was from the Jan 28, 1966 show. The show was officially/finally released in 2018 on the 3-CD collection "Frank Sinatra: Standing Room Only."

[@JonathanMcKey]

@@TheStockwell Actually, this was from the first show. However, it was never released on the original or current versions. It's only available on the Remastered 1998 Re-release. The one from Standing Room Only is the Show 2 version, and there's also the Show 3 version as well on the other album, Vegas. But this one is the rare Show 1 version.

[@user-kh5lx8ou8e]

Help me out guys! What Frank said at the beginnig of this song? Can anybody spell it word for word??

[@sunbrosolaire3952]

how do you uploaded this video ? i mean only music. sorry for my english

[@veratoddo]

Sonny was one of the best

[@sergebaron9086]

My daughter recorded me singing that song while a was asleep she said my voice was terrible. Lol.

[@richardcondon3797]

why can't this be done again ? no music in front of these players right down to sinatra. self taught, coming up the hard way. they played among all greats and had to fit in by being likewise. no juliard here. that's why you don't get this meeting of musicians together nowhere. listen to high c's being blown and gravel voiced frank. no song ever done the same way twice and that's why. won't happen again anytime soon.

[@arame29]

Added track not on original release

[@natedog1025]

this is not a song from "live at the sands"

[@TheStockwell]

It was from the Jan 28, 1966 show. The show was officially/finally released in 2018 on the 3-CD collection "Frank Sinatra: Standing Room Only."
