If you knew the backstory behind this recording session..after frank did a few takes of the song, the producer Jimmy bowen told frank he wanted one last take. Frank, already late to a dinner, gave him the death look and did 1 last take in a pissed off tone...being this golden take we hear here.

Frank Sinatra was the most talented male performer that ever lived: He was in 69 movies. Great actor? Didn't start out as one, but he became one. Watch "The man With the Golden arm." The most dramatic role and performance you will ever see. Could he dance? Witness his performance in "Anchors Aweigh." Step for step with Gene Kelly. He looked like a dancer. Could he sing? 59 studio albums, 297 singles, 2,279 songs, 8,614recordings and performances. We miss you Frank!

I saw Sinatra live in 1984 at the Universal Amphitheater in Los Angeles. He was backed by Quincy Jones and his orchestra and his opening act was Buddy Rich, the greatest drummer of the swing Era. I was 18 years old and was likely the youngest person in the theater by a good 30 years.

Interesting the way he pronounced his words, his diction was great. He pronounced 'tune' closer to British, half way between t'yune and choon, and not the US way, toon. My Mom got me into Sinatra when I was growing up in the 1960s. Always wanted to get her to see him in concert but never did. Two years ago I went to Hoboken to see where he was born, found his fave Italian restaurant and had a meal there. Thought of my Mom, no longer with us, when in there. The jukebox is all Sinatra!

CBS recorded Sinatra singing live in the studio for a small audience of friends and other people to produce a more intimate setting. The year was 1965, and the song was IT WAS A VERY GOOD YEAR. You will absolutely love it. Guaranteed. I think Frank loosened up on his vocals a great deal in the 196o's, to stay relevant and update his style. Where the earlier material was driven by the times of the big band era and the 194o' and 5o's. One of my all-time favorites from Frank's illustrious catalog is (I'VE GOT YOU) UNDER MY SKIN. Greetings from Kentucky.

Tommy Dorsey, trombone player with his big band, taught Frank about breathing and phrasing while Frank was their male vocalist. My father, a World War 2 Vet who almost didn't make it home, used to sing this around the house when it was new, drove us kids crazy. NOW, I get it and I sing it to seniors in the retirement and nursing homes to give them a sense of power, to NOT give up. But I always sing "I'm still gonna try" instead of "roll myself self up in a big ball and die." I was music teacher, not just some hack with guitar who knows 8 chords.

Maybe this is just me, but reading the lyrics of a song before listening to it, doesn’t it take something out of the experience? It’s like reading the script before seeing the movie. I hate to use the word “product” cause it sounds like turning art into capitalism, but isn’t the point of presenting the final product that people experience the lyrics with the music with the production? You wanna get the whole package at once I reckon.
