I will drink the wine

Concert in London 1971

[@roberttownsend7397]

This song is largely forgotten these days, but it made the charts on both sides of the Atlantic.

[@tharinladduwahetty4309]

I haven't forgotten it my friend

[@beatricewoods8377]

I never heard or knew of it now beautiful

And quite rightly forgotten, due to those disgraceful lyrics, the apology of a tucking grifter. Very last teaching we need to spread nowadays. Nice tune, though.

[@truthtriumphant]

[@marilinwisbey7403]

It wasn't, way back in London, Frank , gave all the " naughty boys , to rob da banks, seciriour vans, " this was their " song".😂🎉❤

[@juanenriquecarvajal6727]

The Voice. The greatest singer in many decades.

[@annhurrell4415]

I can listen to Frank all day.His voice so mellow and smooth, he knows how to use his beautiful eyes to draw you even closer. The smile in his eyes are so subtle and, can catch you if your quick enough to see it. He had it all, the whole shebang of charisma, personalty, and the power, to hold his audience in the palm of his hands. Such was the man, Mr Francis Sinatra. A singing LEGEND.❤❤

[@dina113east]

Just to add a thought on this dreary cloudy Sunday, the world still misses Frank Sinatra. We often forget that we won't have our extraordinary and brilliant singing artists forever. The beauty and joy they add to our lives is immeasurable.

Frank sinatra is the greatest big band singer and first class entertainer of all time. Extremely patriotic American man who loved his country and people. I've admired him ever since I was a little boy. I loved listening to all of his songs over many many years. Thankyou Mr sinatra for giving me hours of listening pleasure Rip you very special man.

Sinatra was 56 and fabulous. His voice was and is a fine wine to savor... I love his inflections and expressions from 2:50 to the end. Something so appealing and wistful yet hopeful, about how he delivers the last line: And I will drink the wine...

[@SuperFerdie1965]

54 he was, November 1970.

[@pevensielavere22]

Oh, is that the exact number? Thanks. : ) I was just listening and remembered he was born in 1915. This video says 1971, so I arrived @ 56, give or take...meaning he was in his mid 50's, sounding fabulous and luminous as he aged like a fine wine to savor, and goes with every meal. :). I got so caught up in listening...mmm... I love his delivery and tone always, but in this concert his voice (for me at least) is especially appealing and wistful. He was brilliant at every age and beyond this earth, I believe. Wanted to see if his fans here felt the same way.

There has never been a natural born singer like Francis Albert Sinatra. Never again will there be. His songs are played all the time, even Teens now, if whai i have read on here is true. He is a true Legend ❤❤

This is a great song by Paul Ryan who had a big hit in the sixties with his Brother Barry called “Eloise” Frank knew their Mother Marion Ryan who was a popular singing the sixties was on shows like the Spot the tune. She moved to Florida to live.with her husband. I will drink the wine was a hit in the UK charts in 1971 .

[@rafflesgent6236]

Nobody sings like Sinatra he is in his prime.

[@joaopeste4595]

It could sound strange but this is one of my favourites of all Sinatra's hits ... It looks surreal with the cool pose of Sinatra, the references to the hippie's flower power and the decisioon to the drink the wine against all odds. Very fixe, as we say in portughese

In May 1970 Frank played two charity concerts on consecutive nights at the Royal Festival Hall in London. These concerts were backed by the Count Basie Orchestra. During October Sinatra recorded George Harrison's 'Something' for the first time with an arrangement by Lennie Hayton. Two further charity performances followed on November 16 - again performed at the Festival Hall - the second, introduced by Princess Grace of Monaco, was recorded for BBC television and broadcast on November 22 - as 'Night of Nights'

To those who want interpretation of the lyrics: I've been listening to this great song for 50 years, and I've always understood it to be a re-affirmation of, and adjunct to, the sentiments expressed in "My Way." Only flaw I see with this performance is the gentleman's hair styling.

[@tehee-]

A secret finest hour -- This is musical magic. I think the lyrics are incredible, with the timeless quality of Frank's definite, pastoral tone. The whole 'Sinatra & Company' LP could be baroque pop's best kept secret. Frank executed the style just as masterfully as Scott Walker or Nick Drake. Perhaps was a natural musical transition for him, the orchestrations, the direct imagery of the song. To the naysayers, go put on a Greatest Hits album and leave the real appreciators be. And I will drink the wine.

I do respect your view that it could be referring to the flower people a la the former Mrs Sinatra.. Mia Farrow and maybe there is an oblique reference , but I doubt very much that Frank would be so petty, the meaning is of course as with many songs open to the listeners' own interpretation. The recording is from a concert at the Royal Festival Hall in London (1970) in the same concert he did a great version of "I Have Dreamed", he ended with "My Way"... New York was not then in his repertoire.
