Frank Sinatra & Quincy Jones How Do You Keep The Music Playing

"How Do You Keep the Music Playing?" is a song composed by Michel Legrand, with lyrics by Alan and Marilyn Bergman for the 1982 film Best Friends. Diese Interpretation sang Sinatra für seine LP Einspielung "L.A. is my Lady" 1984, produziert von Quincy Jones. Für mich eine der schönsten Interpretationen des Songs. Artikulation und Phrasierung, die Art wie er die Story "erzählt" und eine hervorragende Live Big Band!

I was in the studio that night. I had been touring with Frank as his opening act for just a little over a year at that time. I toured with him for almost 14 years and was a pall bearer at his funeral and spoke at his funeral. I witnessed so many great moments and spent so many nights with him staying up till dawn. This night was so special because all my life I had heard his recordings and now I was watching him make a recording. Ahh it was a joy to behold.

Lucky you

[@PepperWilliams_songcovers]

Frank just reads the music and sings it like he's lived the lyric his entire life! RIP

[@annhurrell4415]

Your so right, the songs just flow from his mouth. No strain or stress just the beautiful sounds of his voice. Grew up listening too Frank, my Dad was a massive fan, he could sing Frank's songs really well.

[@smokeyslime5410]

Frank couldn'd read music, it was all by ear! That's one of the reasons he was so great! Did you know that he could clip an 1/8th of a note from a song while singing the song to up the tempo?

[@peterflorino9016]

Im 82 now. As a teenager, my mom had a portable 45 player. She stacked it with Frank's records. I heard those songs almost every day, never paid any attention to them. Then one day, I'm alone in my room with the radio on. No idea why, but a song got my attention. I started to hear the words and Frank's voice strarted to resonate deep into me. I listened closely to it and then when i heard the ending I forever appreciatged Sinatra . Song was "Guess I'll hang my tears out to dry". Lyrics said that this guy lost his girl, couldn't get over her, until a friend told him to "just forget about her". Then he sings, "so i gave that treatment a try. Strangly enough i got along without her, then one day she passed me right by, oh well, I guess I'll hang my tears out to dry". His sad voice, the music, timing, arrangement got me. I thought to myself that someday I want to meet a girl that could make me feel that deeply in love. It took another 20 years but I finally met her.

[@donpaulweatherpluspaul2670]

Quincy did not orchestrate this album. He organized the musicians and he spurred them on with his great conducting.

[@patriciabilinkas3911]

Frank Sinatra was the greatest singer of the twentieth century. I still miss him.

[@dme1016]

You're certainky entitled to your opinion, and I started listening to Frank as a black 8 year-old kid. Much respect for his abilities & his respect for all people, regardless of race. However, as for flat-out musical chops, Nat King Cole was the king, AND, he was an exceptional piano player to boot. Props to both.

[@patriciabilinkas3911]

D Me I agree about Nat King Cole. It’s not Christmas without him singing the The Christmas Song. I’ve actually swung my vote to Freddie Mercury. I’m 67 and just discovered him. Now I’m addicted. Stay safe.

The “mercedes benz” of all men mister Sinatra👌

[@peterflorino9016]

Frank’s the only singer who ever lived that could make you feel the lyrics from your soul. Every ballad he sang of lost love he made me feel the emotions and pain of the words. My kids would ask me why do I allow myself to tear up listening. Why listen if it makes you so sad? My answer was, it’s not the sadness I’m reacting to as much as it’s the feelings that touch me deep inside when I listen. The beauty of the orchestration, timing, production, it goes on.

[@ablpsu]

I’ve loved Frank for most of my life. Growing up hearing my mom play him on the stereo in the 60s gave me a great appreciation in music. His music spoke to me on many levels. In my teens my peers did not understand and I was made fun of for my passion in the music that touched me so emotionally. His music kept me grounded and probably alive as he had a song for life experiences. I was so lucky to see him live three times. It was spiritual ❤️. I miss him. I’ve found many great ones to listen to these days but the depth of Sinatra’s emotional experience in a song I have yet to hear replicated. He was an honest and genuine singer. I’m 57.

[@mjlejer3241]

You hit it right on the head, Peter, that's exactly why I have been listening to Sinatra my whole life, his singing evokes feelings in me that no other singer can do to that degree. I have other favorite singers, of course, but no one is quite Sinatra's equal!

[@peterflorino9016]

[@tonyocch1]

[@patrickmaughan]

In his later years, Frank Sinatra was still capable of singing great love songs beautifully. Frank was also a tireless HUMANITARIAN.

[@MJLeger-yj1ww]

I was very fortunate to be invited to a recording session of Sinatra's a couple of times, long ago, as a musician, it meant the world to me -- Sinatra was a perfectionist and knew EXACTLY how to fill the song with the appropriate emotions! His live recording of "Stormy Weather" was one never to be forgotten! And Quincy Jones is a special artist also. Sinatra: what a voice, what an artist, they just don't make them like him anymore! (In his recording sessions, you can really see how he feels the emotion of the song, with his body language. More so than in concert with these emotional songs.) When you must consider the audience, sometimes we cannot put the emotion into it as much, you just don't dare. At home, I sometimes have to stop and shed a tear while singing, because the lyric reminds me of something OR, it's so beautiful a song it gets to you -- you can't do that while performing -- or recording for that matter.)

Wow. I never thought of that. All these years of listening to Frank interpreting ballads so beautifully that I seem to cry, because of the beauty of how his feelings of the lyrics would come thru to me. And you’re right, I haven’t felt that same passion in his live performances. I had the pleasure of seeing him 7 times in person in Chicago. Every performance brilliant.

Absolutely ❤️✊⭐️ I was blessed by the man on October 28th,1988 at Bally’s Reno 🥳Front row as FS,Jr. was in charge of a FANTASTIC 40 piece orchestra 90 minutes of NON STOP POWER OF ENTERTAINMENT! Frank was going to be turning 73 that December 12th and he was JUST MAGNIFICENT ⭐️ I was 25 on that magical night and will never forget the TREMENDOUS STANDING OVATION when he first took the stage like a LION💎👀 I could see from my seat “ the wings” and saw Jilly and Sinatra’s silhouette with the smoke from his last drag and his head go straight back from taking a shot of JD as we know that was his favorite ⭐️ when he finished with an encore of “Mack the knife” ⚡️ANOTHER STANDING OVATION 👏 ( packed house of 3,000) I WAS THE VERY FIRST PERSON HE CAME TO as he bent down for a good 7 seconds or so ( it was like slow motion) and the stage lights hit his 👀 eyes! I can’t even describe how unreal BLUE they were! Absolutely wonderful memories and beautiful in my heart ❤️ THANK YOU Mr. Sinatra I told him as he squeezed my hand with a powerful grip , I gave back to him “ MARVELOUS “ he told me! I’ve been making my living singing/entertainer since 1985 and Frank Sinatra was my first vocal coach as my mother Mary worshiped the man all her life and had every album from Capitol to reprise and I studied all of it! I came out swinging with a Pall Mall Red in my little hand in 63’ I always gave her credit for that although we would never have a good relationship, especially after her and Nick Sr. divorced in 1972. 🌈I’m grateful 🥲

I remember back in the '80's walking down the streets of New York City with Nancy Magauran when I saw a limo with a plate tag :"NYC 1". I knew it was Mr. Sinatra's limo and sure enough, who comes out the back stage door walking to his limo but the Chairman of the Board himself. So I just waved to him and said " Hi Frank" as I walked by his limo as he was getting in. He waved back and said " Hi". My only encounter with the greatest crooner of the 20'th century.

[@MJLeger-yj1ww]

The only other person I've heard put such elegant emotion in song was Nancy Wilson, the rest have reasons to be placed behind these two, although there are some singers of Sinatra's era that came close, but not before or since and probably never will be. There's a way to put emotion in your songs that doesn't make it too maudlin or overly dramatic, and Sinatra was master of that ability.
