Sinatra was a master of phrasing. He just cooly sits down in a chair or saunters up to a mic and tells you a story almost in a read/sing song quality. So cool. So hip. So mesmerizing.

A Stepeen Sondheim classic written for the 1973 Broadway musical "A Little Light Music." This is THE definitive version of the song. One of my favorite Frank classics.

I consider Frank to be perhaps the finest vocalist and performer the world has ever witnessed. I’m 65 now and used to consider him an old square, an antiquity. But now that I’m older, I find his voice very complex - sad, happy, nostalgic, hopeful, moody. Truly a powerful voice who takes his listener places. A pure voice.

I was fortunate a few years ago to attend a free event a few years ago at the nearby Yale theater when Mr Sondheim had a long interview and question/answer session. What a great guy ! His life went full circle recently as he was involved with Spielberg’s remake of West Side Story, given that the 1957 production was his first work as a greenhorn lyricist. It was so cool that he lived long enough to see the completed screenplay. Spielberg said that in a few seconds it went from the most terrifying day of his life to the happiest when they met after the screening and he saw tears in Sondheim’s eyes.

I would love if you reacted to a singer that goes back even further than Frank SInatra. Jimmy Durante was a vaudville actor and had a raspy singing voice. I loved his songs. Check out "Smile", "I'll Be Seeing You", "Make Someone Happy", "As Time Goes By", or "Young at Heart. Thanks Harri !

@@l-bird I didn't mean to confuse the issue. Inka Dinka is one of his best remembered songs. The 2nd line isn't a song but his memorable salutation closing any show. I just threw it in to tribute. Other famed songs of his were ' Make Someone Happy', 'I'll See You in My Dreams' and 'Smile'.

Was listening to different versions of this song last night in tribute to Stephen Sondheim. It is also one of my favorite songs. The 2 best versions IMO are by Glynnis John who is probably best known for playing Mrs.Banks in the original Mary Poppins & Dame Judy Dench. While their voices are not in the same league as Frank Sinatra, Barbra Streisand, or Judy Collins their performances & their delivery & interpretations of the lyrics are heart-wrenching. Sondheim himself stated that Johns performance was his favorite.

@realbser1956 2 жыл бұрын

Probably the best phrasing of anyone. Barbara Streisand also sings a great version of this as well. The song is from a woman’s perspective about a man that she has known over the years and offers to marry because he seems unhappy and doesn’t take anything seriously. Great reaction.

Sinatra, Dean Martin, Sammy Davis, Jr. known as the Rat Pack with a couple of others. Sinatra was a class act. Back during the Jim Crow era where blacks and whites had separate water fountains, seating etc., if Sammy Davis, Jr. couldn't walk in the same door as he, Sinatra would leave.

The phrase "send in the clowns" refers to what the circus would do in the event of the tragedy of a trapeze artist falling. An analogy for many life circumstances.

Maybe when he says: "Don't bother, they're here", he means that he and his partner are but clowns now, rather than lovers. So she leaves, and on the next round, he says "Well maybe next year", meaning another lover, and potential clown is hoped for, but as yet unrequited.

@bookwoman53 Жыл бұрын

According to Sondheim the song was written for actress Glynis Johns who couldn’t hold notes. As he says,”Isn’t it rich?” [pause, pause] Isn’t it queer?”. [pause, pause]. In the play, an actress named Desirée looks back at an affair she had many years ago with the lawyer Fredrik. He had proposed to her but she rejected him. She has finally returned to tell Fredrik she wants to marry him but he informs her that he now a young wife named Anne. Desiree now feels foolish (like a clown) for not marrying him then.

@rosslumbus Жыл бұрын

It seems like a couple of lovers who try connecting on an emotional level or to commit to each other and when one is ready (on the ground) the other is not ready (up in mid air). The clowns are people seeing their foolishness and laughing at them.
