I think Frank Sinatra Jr. was a national treasure. What a historian he was! What memories and what a memory-an amazing ability to remember events and to tell them from a unique perspective with keen insight.

[@ryanfromsaneli]

Frank Sinatra Jr. and I are alike when it comes to memory. I'm only 20, and I can remember what somebody wore on a certain day years ago, what they said, and many other things. I also have a photographic memory too, where I can remember what something looked like. Having a great memory DEFINITELY has its perks :)!!!

[@johnparadise3134]

Good for you Ryan. I wish my memory was that good.

[@ryanfromsaneli]

Thank you John, and I'm sure you will remember a lot of good things :)

[@Melinda8162]

@@ryanfromsaneli Let us know if you still have that exemplary memory when you get around 60+ or so! Except.........Well, I won’t be around then!!!

[@michaelchapman4955]

I was at a few of those last Sinatra concerts in LA where Frank Jr. here was conducting the Orchestra for his Dad & one of those concerts was at LA's Greek Theatre at the top of Vermont Ave & I recall feeling that Love... all of us at this Sinatra concert had for his Dad that evening, 'I'll never forget that evening... I was also fortunate to catch Sinatra Jr. here perform in LA supper clubs & like his famous Dad, Frank Jr. was a very polished performer working with the best arrangers & musicians in the business & I could hear his dad's phrasing & voice in his performances & on his albums

[@adel-711]

I am 58 years old and I found that watching the old shows gives me the greatest pleasure of my life. TV today is really bad .I love the old movies Frank Sinatra was one of my favorite singers and movie stars ever . May God rest his soul in peace. Amen.

Mr. Sinatra Jr. would've made an excellent broadcaster...wonderful speaking voice and so articulate.

I came across this interview accidentally, but glad I did, fantastic, thank you for posting it.🤗

[@wfh1908]

I, too came across this interview with Frank Sinatra Jr. a week ago...to while away my time during this panfemic. I stayed on and listened intently. Frank Jr is/ was so polished in his narration of events. Now it must have been four times that I repeatedly listen to this and his other interviews. He exudes a fine, sincere character, generous with kind words for musicians of his father's time.

[@DwightMS1]

Frank Jr. was a very sharp, well-spoken man.

I should have mentioned, thank you for this magnificent compilation.

How delightful it is to hear him speaking. He speaks so clearly and sounds quite like his father

[@TheJazzyVaudevillian]

I met Frank Sinatra, Jr. in either late 1974 or early 1975. I remember him as being a very sincere and genuine person. I also enjoyed meeting Frank Sinatra whom I met on Father's Day 1975. Similar to his son, Frank Sinatra was very nice to me.

[@Melinda8162]

@Paul's comments and q... Frank Sr appeared in this podunk town I lived in, in the '70's. But, didn't get to see him. He came to do a benefit. Never saw Jr either. Would sure have been nice. Everyone gone now. Sucks.

Frank Sinatra jr is Such a GREAT interview

[@dubskj01]

One if the great pleasures both my parents had was to see Mr Sinatra perform live when on tour once back in the 1980's. Someone for whom the word legend truly is appropriate. My father also felt the same way about the Ouzo.

[@sandyallen5743]

I LOVE Frank Sinatra. I was nine ish..1959. My aunt and future uncle loved Frank, too. They fell in love with all of Frank's songs. We'd go on road trips, and we would all sing about the ant & the rubber tree plant. My god, the memories. I'm 72 now, still love frank, hate doctors, big pharm meds and hospitals, just like Frank. I'd proudly be his sister! Weeds, whites, and freedom of speech. Peace. out

[@leroy2298]

these video's mean so much to me, i have never respected anyone as much as i respect The sinatra family. even tho he lived before i was even born he is a legend, that cannot ever be forgotten.

[@TheBruces56]

I was working security at Westfarms mall in Connecticut when Frank Jr. did a performance. Must have been 1976 and we had to keep people out of the room they were preparing in. He was a nice guy and a great singer. His dad must have been very proud.

[@jennifersman7990]

I remember that! It was in like the center court and the crowd was all around on the floor and the only way you could see anything was to go up to the second floor and look down from the balcony. He really pulled in a crowd back then

[@anthonyesposito6752]

What a man, he had a set of golden pipes & had the best phrasing & caressed each note & word as he lived each song as his life. You must be serenading the rest of the troops!!........Anthony Salvatore Esposito.....from Chicago

[@moniquemonicat]

So sad, both Tom Snyder and Frank Jr, both now deceased, discussing his dad Frank Sr dying 'before his time' at age 82. The worry. The concern. Yet ironically, both Tom and Frank Jr died even younger (age 71 and 72). Frank Jr also died of a heart attack like his dad, so maybe heart problems just run in the family. (RIP)

Of course no one lives forever, but Frank is still immortal. At 69 I surely can relate to aging...

Why does Frank jr always say "sinatra" instead of dad?

Frank Jr. said he used the title "Sinatra" when talking about the entertainer and in private called him "Father." He's separating the professional and the personal.

Because his father was a “thoroughbred”

[@jadezee6316]

speak for your ignorant self...fool

[@moniquemonicat]

That depends what the old woman is offering. Kathryn Kuhlman was old and brought in millions of people. She had no physical attributes, but spiritual and many were healed. It all depends what a person provides. An old woman trying to be a young flowering woman, no, that wouldn't sell because it isn't true. But if she's offering hope, wisdom, and healing: YES. Joan Rivers was another old woman who drew millions who loved the healing, in her case, that laughter brings. But I think you mean physical attributes. But women are like flowers; men are like trees. I'll just leave it there.

[@jackiepowell7513]

Did Frank S believe in God? His beliefs were private i think...

[@OctPSfever]

Why FS needed to be a champ at 76 yrs? His prime time for singing was over. With all his $ and fame, his health and eyes should be top priority

[@paulakpacente]

I'm sure you're very jealous of FS.

[@johnnyonenote376]

I'll tell you why Jen - I saw him, when he was 76, in London in 1992 and it wasn't about money. He filled the Royal Albert Hall for 6 consecutive nights and (despite certain natural frailties of age) he could still put on a great show. He used to stay at The Savoy in The Strand and booked out a whole floor for the week actually. My friend was dining in one of the restaurants there and told me that Sinatra came in to join his family and friends late one night and (to be honest) he looked absolutely knackered. The sheer exertion of singing with a full orchestra - including strings - was tough, but the people who he was performing to wanted to still see him and he gave 100% back to them.

[@paulakpacente]

@@johnnyonenote376- I've seen him on interviews and he said that he had to keep singing. I saw him in Chicago in 1983, and he was fabulous!
