First Time Hearing Frank Sinatra - My Way (Reaction!)

[@joepangia4413]

“I feel like I just watched a movie, I feel like I was on broadway. I feel like I’m about to start a new chapter in My life”! … well said bro, we love you !

[@HealthyMBS1]

Sinatra was one of a kind and this song truly encapsulates his life. Be inspired to live a life that's full, get to the end, and hopefully you can reflect in the manner of his lyrics

[@Neotron2001]

Respect for this reaction. Frank Sinatra is in the Pantheon of entertainment of the 20th century.

[@dagmar.6954]

They don't make them like they used to. Frank Sinatra was such a smooth crooner. This is before auto tuning. Artists had to be really able to sing. And the lyrics were clean, romantic & really meant something. He has a huge library of great songs. Some of my favorites are "Fly Me To The Moon", New York, New York", "Strangers In The Night", "I've Got You Under My Skin", "That's Life", "My Way", "My Kind Of Town", "Summer Wind" etc. And he did a duet with his daughter Nancy called "Something Stupid" in 1967.

[@Mel-oz9fl]

As you get older, this song as so much more meaning

[@scottclark3761]

This song is pretty much the essence of masculinity in the best way possible. Sinatra didn't just sing it, he was a cool character all around. Dude walked the walk. Great song, great artist, great reaction.

[@greeneyedsoutherngirl6468]

I was born in the wrong era-I listened to Sinatra, Ella, Lady Day, Mahalia Jackson; Nat King Cole with my grandfather and uncle just love that era! Timeless music! Subbed! 🩷

[@ChickCiccarelli]

Frank Sinatra was a singer and actor. Nicknamed the "Chairman of the Board" and later called "Ol' Blue Eyes", he is regarded as one of the most popular entertainers of the mid-20th century. Sinatra is among the world's best-selling music artists with an estimated 150 million record sales. His popularity is matched only by Bing Crosby, Elvis Presley, The Beatles, and Michael Jackson.

[@AP-gb3eh]

This is such a masculine anthem, strong but soft showing the spectrum of life. Most masculine songs are all hard bs the beauty of this it speaks to a whole human being

[@greeneyedsoutherngirl6468]

Listen to some other Sinatra songs-Fly Me to the Moon, Luck Be a Lady, and especially Old Man River-he sang this and Dr Martin Luther King was in the audience and moved to tears. His music is timeless. ♥️

[@j.paulpurdell6110]

Sinatra's version of "My Way" which was the first version of that song, premiered in the year 1969. Frank Sinatra is unquestionably one of the most famous singers of all time of any type of music.

[@nestor.valentino]

Comme habitude is the first version of this song

[@j09j19]

Frank was the original singing heartthrob for female fans. They didn't start screaming for Elvis in the 50s. They started screaming for Frank in the 40s, though the screaming was on a whole other level with Elvis. You should check out the video of Frank Sinatra and Elvis Presley together singer each other's songs. It's on a tv show from the 50s-- really cool!

[@akrenwinkle]

I believe Rudy Vallee was the first singer to get girls swooning. That was in the 20s and 30s.

[@greeneyedsoutherngirl6468]

@@akrenwinkleFrank was the first to cause what they call “mass hysteria”; when he performed at the Paramount

[@akrenwinkle]

@@greeneyedsoutherngirl6468 Yes, even Vallee himself said Frank's fans were on a whole different level. What he didn't say- what few will acknowledge- is that Frank's hysteria wasn't exclusively about singing, or even about singing at all, but about something else. The word hysteria, itself, is derived from the prefix "hyster," which is Greek for uterus.

[@randolphmoffat6604]

A note... there are perhaps a dozen artists I have heard in my life whose voice is utterly clear and identifiable even across a crowded and noisy room. They are few and far between. Males are Dean Martin, Bing Crosby, Harry Belafonte, Louis Armstrong and a handful of others. Frank was one of these. You don't get in that company by accident. I once read a list of places Frank played in a single year early in his career. He played something like two hundred and twenty different places (Out of year with 365 days) - each in a different town. This in the days of bad cars and trains so he must have traveled constantly... as in, all the time! The play lists for each of the venues WERE ALL DIFFERENT. That means he had to know and perform two hundred plus songs . That kind of training... that kind of range... that kind of versatility in inconceivable today. It is no wonder he managed later to become the voice that even today affects people.

[@drew4utube]

Love your reaction bud. Frank Sinatra was- and will always be - the chairman of the board … the top of the heap. The man ran NYC- hell he ran everything in the day. As they say- HE WAS THE MAN!

[@user-or1ye3iz6d]

Frank Sinatra is one of the most famous singers EVER! He's a pioneer from the, Crooner genre. Sinatra was also a really good actor. 🙌

[@tommarks3726]

Heard this song a million times and I still tear up listening to it. You go bro, glad you dug it.

[@debbicook1584]

Frank is famous for his phrasing, singing just behind the beat and his interpretation of lyrics is LEGENDARY ❤️

[@Almcingrid3663]

My 25 year old son constantly listens to the Rat Pack & especially Frank Sinatra. Even played him in a musical.

[@hustledude]

Written by Paul Anka, Paul’s version is also very good

[@susanworkman529]

It doesn't matter who else songs this song, it belongs to Sinatra and always will. If you knew Sinatras life story, you would understand how powerful and spot on this song is for him. The story goes that Frank didn't care for this song much, but it became synonymous with him. He learned to embrace it and it's one of his all time most famous hits. Elvis covered "My Way" (look for the video, I don't recall from which concert). It is also synonymous with his life as we know it. A perfect fit for both of these unconventional artists who both stepped out of the box and became legends. Elivs' career was short lived but he impacted and changed the music world. Sinatra had A lengthy career as a ballad singer /crooner. Both were loved by all but especially by the ladies. There is a great video out of Sinatra and Elvis together, live on the tv stage singing together. Sinatra sings Elvis' song "Love me Tender" and Elvis sings Sinatra's "Witchcraft". Check it out. They both also did movie musicals and more serious roles. They both refused to work in places that would not allow their black performers in. More Sinatra songs: " I've Got The World on a String" "Fly Me to the Moon" "New York, New York" "Chicago, My Kind of Town" "you Make Me Feel So Young" ( London 1962) Like Elvis, Sinatra has a deep rabbit hole of songs to delve into. Check out Sinatra's movie, "Robin and the 7 Hoods". It has great songs in it. The movie stars "The Rat Pa ck" A group of stars that Sinatra hung around with. Check out the song and dance # by Sammy Davis Jr. In the movie called "Bang Bang" Sammy Davis Jr. Is someone you should react to. He Is one of the greatest performers ever! Check out his video ( live from Germany) of Mr. Bojangles. Love your enthusiasm to discover new music and great singers from the past; legends and icons.

[@drew4utube]

I think it’s illegal for anyone else to sing this song😂😂😂. At least it should be.

[@ursulabklyn_mia6148]

As a NYer my favorite Frank Sinatra song is "New York, New York". As a tradition after the ball drops in New Years we all sing it out loud.

[@alexandras.1740]

This song with Frank Sinatra was released 1968. He was member of the 'Rat Pack' (Him, Dean Martin, Sammy Davis jr.). Greetings from Germany.

[@aircap]

Frank Sinatra is an ICON. He was an anti-racism pioneer in the music biz too.

[@BarbaraGrosvenor]

My husband was a massive fan and saw Frank twice when he appeared at The Royal Albert Hall in London. We are seeing the musical "Sinatra" being premiered in Birmingham UK.

[@michellejackson6679]

My Daddy loved Frankie and my Momma loved Elvis.. I was raised with great music. and my Pop-Pop raised me on Country music..I love it all.

[@mattysxmusicxfiles9198]

There will never be anyone cooler than Sinatra! His voice, the way he dressed, his mannerisms, his delivery were and are the definition of smooth. Chairman of the Board until the end of time!

[@jasonwalters1876]

That’s Life is my favorite Frankie song for sure!!

[@rmacdougallaliasdogviticus]

Great reaction. Love his 'Fly Me To The Moon' as well. You might want to check out other crooner tunes from way back. Lot of great folks to pick from. 'Dean Martin - That's Amore', 'Andy Williams - Moon River', 'Bobby Darin - Mack The Knife', 'Tony Bennett - I Left My Heart In San Francisco', 'Nat King Cole - Unforgettable', 'Sammy Davis Jr - The Lady Is A Tramp', 'Tom Jones - Delilah' and 'Engelbert Humperdinck - Spanish Eyes'. Cheers.

[@livingandriding]

This song stayed on the top of the charts for over 70 weeks!

[@TerryL421]

I love how open you to discovering many different genres of music. So glad you discovered your first crooner. Elvis did a great cover of "My Way" Live from Hawaii. Being from Chicago, my favorite Sinatra song is "My Kind of Town (Chicago is)". Here are a few more entertainers from this genre: Dean Martin, called the King of Cool, my favorites are "Everybody Loves Somebody", "Volare", "That's Amore", and "Baby, It's Cold Outside" Sammy Davis, Jr., who started entertaining at age 3, my favorite songs are "I Gotta Be Me", "What Kind of Fool Am I" & "That Old Black Magic" Bing Crosby, one of the first crooners, my favorites are his Christmas songs "White Christmas" & "Do You Hear What I Hear"

[@Joegoog2321]

AMAZING reaction as usual my friend, absolute classic, love the songs meaning and his impeccable delivery. Frank was one of a kind!!!!!

[@ronvizzutti8848]

Let's not forget the songwriter Mr. Paul Anka

[@notthemachine9585]

Love your open mindedness and enthusiasm to view music from times gone by. The live version of this is very good as well. Peace and love.

[@auburnkim1989]

That was a man who oozed sexiness. A bad boy who would melt you with his music. Mmm mmm good! You need at least one Sinatra album in every collection, imo.

[@michellep9999]

Congratulations! You’ve now just been to every Italian wedding ever. 😁

[@stevedaniels623]

The record shows he took the blows. Love it!!!!!

[@Kim-hc5si]

Best funeral song EVER 🙌

[@Mainecoonlady.]

Beautiful crooner. If you enjoy this, try Frank Sinatra’s best friend, Dean Martin. Dean put an Italian flare to it. My favorites are Volare and Everybody Loves Somebody Sometimes. Elvis Presley named him, The King of Cool. ❤

[@KristinaMarie719]

This was one of my dad’s favorite song. I used to think Frank Sinatra was just some 0:11 0:12 old, washed-up guy when I was a kid but I’ve come to appreciate his voice and his music as I’ve gotten older. Frank had a one of a kind voice and presence about him. He always uses his voice to tell a story and it never fails to move my emotions. Please give a listen to “It Was a Very Good Year” and hear the master weave another spell on you. 😊❤

[@bee3541-y7s]

Great review. Sinatra is a crooner. You already reacted to Elvis singing ithis and gave a well deserved reaction to that as well. I think you like the lyrics.

[@mzluna313]

Frank Sinatra is definitely an OG! He was way before my time and his name was never spoken in the hood I grew up in, but I knew his name!

[@bluelionvintage8134]

Alright, Shon, after watching many of your reactions and not subscribing, your appreciation of Old Blue Eyes coupled with the kitty sleeping on your bed in the background finally convinced me to hit that button. Keep 'em coming and always keep your mind open to the joys of days gone by!!

[@davidpetruzzi1113]

respect to the chairmen of the board salute!!!!!!!!!!!

[@steveullrich7737]

Great reaction Shon! It's an amazing song with an empowering message for us all to hear.

[@martinl8574]

His nickname was "The chairman of the board". That reflects his talent and his persona.

[@user-or1ye3iz6d]

Sinatra "NEW YORK" ❤

[@beatleschick1000]

YES!!! no one sings that like Frank, and after old Lang Syne on New Year’s in Times Square they play Frank’s version of New York, New York and it’s wonderful! What an icon he was, and still is. The first teenybopper screaming sensation before Elvis. He was the first one. The girls went crazy. I haven’t tried to tear his clothes off. L O L. I never thought he was handsome but that charisma & voice drove the girls crazy. He is such an icon. He has many nicknames, especially Ol’ Blue Eyes, the voice and the chairman of the board.

[@bigdaddyswole]

If your car has a good system, listen to this all the way up and vibe. It’s life changing.

[@danpuleo9728]

One of my favorite Sinatra songs, It Was a Very Good Year.

[@starfire6122]

Just when i think how open minded you are about music...you out do yourself with this one...you're the best. The Summer Wind, ...Cycles,....and..It Was A Very Good Year..you will love them all!💞✌️

[@RJ-oy7cq]

Shon--he's one of the most famous singers in history.

[@Irockthere4]

It’s a French song and American Paul Anka wrote English lyrics. Frank Sinatra was the Chairman of the Board in real life. What a story he was!

[@bella-xp7qd]

Paul Anka wrote this for Frank. Paul was a teen idol back in the late 50's and early 60's. He was 14 when he had a hit song Diana, Put Your Head On My Shoulder. He also wrote the Tonight Theme song. You should check him out. Frank was a movie star and an award winning singer. He won an Academy Award for supporting actor in From Here To Eternity.

[@erickaleeroy8710]

Sorry but the original song is french :the name of this song is " comme d'habitude" sang by Claude François

[@bella-xp7qd]

@@erickaleeroy8710 Anka still remembers the emotional story behind writing his timeless classic for Sinatra. And he loves to tell it. “That was a big time for me,” he says.

[@Shango]

Frank Sinatra's daughter, Nancy Sinatra performed the song that plays at the beginning of the movie "Kill Bill, Vol. 1." The song is called "Bang Bang (My Baby Shot Me Down)." It was a cover of her father's song, which he also sang.

[@mitzaz8812]

He was live on Broadway, movies, concerts and albums along with the late-night shows. Give Perry Como, Sammy Davis Jr and Dean Martin a shot I think you will really enjoy them also. Hey there the rat pack, how could you go wrong! Glad to see that you are still enjoying so many different genres of music. 😊😊

[@jessquinn6106]

I can not watch this without my mind thinking of the Dreamworks film "Sing". Seth MacFarlane sang this and also loves singing this genre of music.

[@Phoebes1940s]

My Man Frank... one of the greatest...enough said x

[@wiggion]

The music existed, and a famous singer, Paul Anka, wrote the lyrics specifically for Sinatra. One of his nicknames was "Chairman of the Board" and he was unofficial leader of the "Ratpack". Him, Dean Martin, Sammy Davis, Peter Lawford, and Joey Bishop. They partied and goofed their own way and were like the most famous entertainers in Las Vegas.

Listen to Fly Me to the Moon!! Its amazing!

[@evergreenforestwitch]

Sinatra was not only an incredible singer, he was famous and influential to a level few have ever been before or since. For example, he single handedly ended Jim Crow/racist policies in venues throughout the south and in Vegas. He refused to perform anywhere his friend (and fellow Rat Pack member) Sammy Davis Jr couldn't stay and he was such a draw they all caved or went under. The way he phrases songs - the rhythm, placement of notes - is legend. Do Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin and Sammy Davis Jr. songs for Christmas season. Gold standards. One For My Baby and One More For the Road is probably my favorite of his non holiday repertoire.

[@danielschartzer1396]
