Lonesome Road - Frank sinatra TV show 1957

unbelievable

[@johnalcorn8079]

Frank sings as if he’s got the world on a string.And with that voice he certainly has.

[@knarfartanis]

Nobody comes close to Frank Sinatra, simply the all time best.

[@robjones2408]

No one ever wore a snap-brim trilby better than Frank. The Voice at the very peak of his powers. Utterly superb. He was so good, Amy Winehouse named her debut after him. That's the best tribute of all.

[@johnalcorn8079]

He’s so much confidence and nobody comes close

[@dianeiselin7678]

Un professionnalisme, travaillé dès son adolescence. Un travail constant . Respect.

[@solveigmwilder2512]

Fantastic !!!Frank at His very best !! His voice is perfect !!!!

[@rt8532]

Perfect voice here. Literally perfect.

[@knarfartanis]

Frank Sinatra, simply the best, pure magic.

[@johnrobel1440]

I know I listened to this when I was two years old.. fantastic song sung by Sinatra! Still seems fresh in 2020.

[@sabade.]

i simply love you mr.sinatra! i cant have a day without ur sound i CANT!

[@rt8532]

Voice is at its absolute BEST!

[@onejagjeff]

One of Nelson Riddle's finest arrangements.

[@sheyshannow2065]

Damn! SUPERFINE!!! Unique and wonderful musicality in voice, movement, expression and soul! Super cool! Thank you so much for sharing.🙏

[@mistyfalin5445]

Who doesn't love this man

[@dianeiselin7678]

Des personnes sans goût et incultes.

[@JasonG146]

If it was somehow possible to have A 1957, 1967, 1977,and 1987 Sinatra all duet to a song live, it would be the most amazing thing ever. Each decade Sinatra had a different style,...not just look, but in how he sang a song, and sounded.

[@Grem1in]

You have to be kidding...Sinatra was underrated if anything.

[@Cjga1114]

Correct

[@carltrotter7622]

At least anything other than New York New York, Fly Me to the Moon, My Way or That’s Life is underrated. In total, Sinatra sung around 1,400 or so songs, most people only know 4 or 5.

[@lMack-su8uv]

What can anyone say. Just the best.

[@mistyfalin5445]

Ah, Sinatra's a true showman

[@johnalcorn8079]

What a voice at his very best.

[@Hootville]

The first scene from the first episode of The Frank Sinatra Show. He deliberately disappeared in the minutes leading up to the song, appearing with a few seconds to spare. Power games. Strangely, the series also included dramatic mini TV-movies sometimes starring or directed by Frank. In the second episode, airing the week after this, he played a taxi driver with a heart of gold. Hardcore fans should read the 800+ page biography: Sinatra: The Chairman by James Kaplan.

[@robjones2408]

+Hootville Utterly magnificent book. The good, bad and sometimes ugly life of Frank. Up there with Peter Guralnick's biography on Elvis: Last Train To Memphis.

[@Hootville]

Good tip - shall read that too once I wade my way through the current tome. And yes - the book is far from a love letter to Frank.

[@susaneweinberg4411]

Hootville I will look for that book. I did read a book on his written by his other daughter (yes, Nancy had a brunette haired sister) and it got down and dirty also. But I just love his singing.

[@4hisglory903]

If u really take the lyrics of this song to heart, it’s saying to seek the Lord while He can still be found. Life is short, we never know when it is our time to go. The Lord could have Gabriel blow the trumpet at any time. Please, call upon the Lord Jesus. Accept Him as ur Savior, before it is to late. Hellfire is hot, and eternity separated from the Lord is unbearable.

[@starfed64]

I sing primarily Sinatra covers and this is a mucho appreciado post. His stylings I copy like martial artist copies the Sung Fu of a real master. Frank Sinatra is such a master.

[@CORTH3LL]

Cool backstory to this performance. Frank had 10 minutes before showtime and walks outside to have a smoke. Now 5 minutes til showtime. Where’s frank? They ask. He’s gone. They can’t find him frank went out and took off. 4 minutes. 3 minutes. 2 minutes, now there’s a bit of panic. Where the hell is Frank?! 1 minute and they start to think he’s not coming back. With about 30 seconds til showtime frank finally comes back. 15 seconds, 10. Frank makes his way to the stage and with perfect timing sits down just as time runs out and begins snapping his fingers. With a cheeky grin he starts singing. That is Frank Sinatra! Frank liked to create tension for himself when he needed a boost to really lock in. Though it may have come at the expense ofstress to others, Frank was the star and if that’s what he needed to do that’s what he’d do. Love him or hate him he is the greatest.

[@saintcruzin]

@jasong146 Sinatra wasn't singing as well in '77 and '87 but take "I Get a Kick Out Of You"..'53,63,73,83 and you just might be surprised how well his voice held up!!! It would be fun!

[@pgarcia14180]

"Look up, look up and greet your maker, For Gabriel blows his horn." Lyrics used in Sugar Baby from Dylan.

[@drgwdrgw]

Such audacity. This guy is so full of himself; he thinks he's got the world on a string. But he's right. The talent on display here justifies the attitude.

[@stevedenicola2031]

Love it!

[@frankiemachine44]

Sister Rosetta Tharpe may have done the best, most authentic, version of Lonesome Road, but Sinatra's version is certainly not "weak"! That you compare him to Wm Shatner and call him overrated shows you know NOTHING about the actual factual history of 20th Century music. Placed in context, Sinatra is the most influential male singer of all recorded music.

[@user-eo9ie7zn9p]

🎉 WGNJMNFAS 🎉 Sunday Sabbath My father adored Frank Sinatra.

[@jayjay2637]

Its just so damn good 👍

[@paulmarsh5325]

To think that he became a friend of Elvis!!!!

[@mistyfalin5445]

My dad loved the rat pac

[@hellhawk785]

Thank you

[@charleshonig7080]

The Chairman in Meeting

[@annettecamlin9090]

For some reason I expect to hear Fred Flintstone Yelling "Wiiiill- Maaaaaa!!!!" at the end of this.

[@carltrotter7622]

He must've borrowed the click from Bobby Darrin. Must've gave him the wrong one!

[@robjones2408]

It's the other way around. Bobby D was heavily influenced by Frank.

[@carltrotter7622]

@@robjones2408 Don't worry, I know. It's a reference to Sinatra and Martin singing together and Frank is clicking and for comedic effect he says: "I borrowed this click from Bobby Darrin. Must've gave me the wrong one!"

[@adamalford1167]

jack prince or anybody else who sang it... ever

[@drgwdrgw]

The last voice Bogie heard.

[@user-eo9ie7zn9p]

🎉🎉🎉🎉WGNJMN❤❤❤❤

[@michaelnoles3540]

The jack prince version is so much better to me not taking anything away from Sinatra just the jack prince version is so much more emotional to me

[@andrews527]

I dunno - This song's not Frank's brand of sincerity. His was all invested in show biz (compare this to his "Old Man River").

[@roman14032]

this arangement is kinda shitty the mood is wrong it clashes with the spirit of the tune

[@davidingram8734]

I’ve never heard a Nelson Riddle arrangement be referred to as “shitty”.

[@eedobee]

He's a bit of a slimy git.

[@mouthy]

Wow, this is hilariously weak next to the version by Sister Rosetta Tharpe, recorded 16 year earlier. Compared to Tharpe's version, Sinatra's deadpan is like William Shatner jokingly covering Elton John's Rocket Man. Or Stewie Griffin covering William Shatner covering Elton John.

[@thegallerian]

Probably the most overrated performer of all time. Not in Bobby Darrins class!

[@tigreadroit]

Entièrement d'accord avec vous .I agree .

[@SafaAlkan]

Cut the bullshit !

[@worthatronproduction]

sinatra is too overrated. i'm more of an al bowlly fan

[@SafaAlkan]

Hahahahahah it's not funny

[@paulorlando5877]

Who's Al Bowlly?
