Vocal Coach reacts to Frank Sinatra - Fly Me To The Moon (Live At The Kiel Opera House, 1965)

[@glenkelley6799]

Great reaction. He had a great voice. But he's under appreciated in his contributions to the area of arranging, phrasing and timing. He pretty much changed the way singers performed.

[@ModernBingFan]

glen kelley that was more Bing Crosby, as he more changed the way of singing compared Sinatra, Sinatra just built onto Bing’s style. Frank was told to copy or at least to look at Crosby’s phrasing and timing.

[@kentuckyfriedchildren5385]

If anything his phrasing is the most praised, there are people who actually think his voice was bad.

[@John_Malloy]

Bing Crosby was the voice that carried more influence but Sinatra took crooning to another level with his "swing" phrasing, breath control, and lyric delivery. He also had a cocky, mobster persona which comes across in this video.

The band backing him up that night is the great Count Basie Orchestra, and the man in this clip conducting the orchestra is a legend himself: Quincy Jones.

[@1953jazzman]

Frank always had the most fun when he had a big band behind him!

[@seabelltd8843]

Yes, especially the one behind him here; the Count Basie orchestra, Frank's best music was with Basie.

[@Mymloch]

In 1998, I was in a college Jazz band as a trumpet player (which was fun enough on its own, of course), and I was lucky enough to be selected to sing the vocals for this song. I'm not a vocalist by any means, but I received some excellent coaching from someone very much like Miss Roars. That made all the difference.

[@Khammett1962]

Im a major metalhead and have been for 30 years. When I discuss my favorite bands, guitarists, singers and such, it is funny to see peoples expressions when I name names like Dio, Halford, Sebastian Bach and other singers and then mention that Sinatra is my favorite singer. It gets a great response....

[@annkatherine6327]

Same here! I'm primarily a rock/metal fan, however, I love people's faces when I tell them that I like to listen to classical music (thanks mostly to Andre Rieu), but also singers like Sinatra, Elvis (thanks to my mom who loves him), Andy Williams or Dean Martin. On the other hand, I'm 27 and it's quite sad that most people my age do not even know who any of these people are, maybe with the exception of Elvis, who's hard to miss in the modern popculture.

[@teamjay2837]

Your joy watching this is infectious. Plus I've always thought Frank was underrated. He knew exactly what he was doing with breath and vocal technique and phrasing.

Frank was and is the best! What a performer!

[@karengray662]

Love him. Got to see him live when I was 19 in London, with my mam, who introduced me to him. He was getting on a bit, but still amazing. All the things that made him Frank Sinatra were still there. One of the best nights of my life & something I’ll never forget. I got to see Frank Sinatra 😍

[@zachthatguy83]

Dean for the win

[@b0hd3n]

True, the joy and excitement of the performance is there. But actually Sinatra excelled from other crooners by using his voice and words as another instrument. What set him apart was his timing. Watch any of his serious performances. Unlike others even those with great voices, Sinatra is constantly aware of the orchestra and the music in terms of his place and involvement.

[@helgar791]

A master communicator. In order to be one you have to also be a master of relaxation (which takes a world of confidence), the ability to interpret and personalize a lyric, and then make it personal to the audience. In those days diction and word clarity was paramount. But as I've said before on other sites, Frank was always the coolest guy in the room. Nat King Cole had these very same abilities as well (with a prettier timber in my opinion,) but Nat's personality was avuncular. Nevertheless, it always felt as if each were singing directly to you. This performance has to be with Count Basie and his orchestra. A time long and forever gone.

[@jimpaquette8007]

Frank is so awesome saw him live I never ever have seen anyone so in control relaxed and just plain cool a legend for sure!

[@SuperIliad]

I love seeing the young coming home to real music. Frank sang with the Tommy Dorsey Orchestra from 1939. Dorsey played trombone and it was keeping time with that slide instrument which gave Sinatra the phrasing he would become famous for.

[@choochoochooseyou]

Lovely change, Beth. Hope you do more.

His presence, charisma and even at his advanced years, strength and quality of voice was astounding ...it was a highlight of my life, absolutely blessed to see him..

[@PalJoey-on1yi]

Sinatra regards "Only The Lonely" on Capitol, (1958) (and I heartily concur) as his greatest album. You, your viewers, anyone who appreciates jazz, blues, and ballads need to hear that album, especially "One For My Baby" and "Blues In The Night." Do a serious critique on that material. Heartbreaking. There'll never be another.

[@TheRudydog1]

A very nice, honest review Ms Roars on one of the best popular singers of all time. Sinatra didn't need to show off like many singers do today trying to outdo each other with their loud high notes and other nonsense. Frank new he was good and so did his musical peers. If you are truly great at something you don't need to convince others that you are. I appreciate people like you who are both knowledgeable and fair with the great talents of yesterday.

[@riovonstahl2869]

the part in wich he sings "Fill my hearth with song" .... he turs his face towars the orchestra behind him, at first i thought he missed tempo but DONT! the man is a genious and entered conter tempo instead totally mastering the song!... i love frank because of my grandfather which died a year ago, we share the love for Jazz (even if im a metal head) and right now im fking crying

[@EconAdviser]

Way past his creative prime (do one off his mid or late 1950s performances). He revolutionized music and took over ALL popular music. Everyone singer male or female was a Sinatra imitator for 20 years. He had (developed physically) outrageous breath control!!! Had to have perfect pitch because his arranger, the legendary Nelson Riddle, had band NEVER PLAY ANY OF THE MELODY and followed him (not he following band). First to make everyone believe he was SINGING JUST TO YOU. Not just perfect diction, but turned song's lyrics into a meaningful, emotional poem. Loved to live in the studio cutting LPs in the 50s, greatest ever made. By the mid-1960s smoking cost him his breath control gone, so he switched to SPEAK-SINGING for next 30 years.

[@vaportrails7943]

Jazz is the core of it. He used his voice like a saxophone or trumpet, improvisationally.

[@danastearns7939]

what an amazing entertainer! smooth, rich voice and everything to go with it. The Best male singer of all time? - no doubt! Every live performance that I have seen he is always having fun, with the song and with backing band (they always travelled with him) and the audience. Talk about "COOL Charisma" - this is it in-person. Not enough can be said about Ole Blue Eyes.

[@user-oy9zy4ds9m]

Loved your reaction. I know this is about Frank, but you did mention the band as well. Not sure if you are aware, but the band is the great Count Basie orchestra. In my opinion, Sinatra's best recordings/performances were with Count Basie. You see, I knew Count Basie; in the 70s we lived next door to him and my parents were on the committee of Count Basie's, Wife's charity The Committee of 50. Anyway, I side track. There was a close similarity with the way that Sinatra phrased the song and the way Basie phrased the music; it was like they were made for each other.

A good part of the admiration for this song,quietly has to go Nelson Riddle's jazzy arraignment. This not only enhanced the song but complemented the singer as well. Also, his work on Linda Ronstadt's retro albums were incredible.

[@cronicasdesdelacripta]

Frank is without doubt the best pop singer, the voice is the most beautiful voice and the phrasing is the perfection, but best is the control of the stage, of the song that really make you feel it. Nowadays I see singers that only want to reach the highest note, it’s a silliness, they do only for saying that they’re able too. Frankie is different because he adapts his voice to the meaning of a song, it’s the singer at service of the song to make eternal performances.

Always loved the way Sinatra would "nonchalant" his way through songs, and like a jazz musician, go ahead of and fall behind the beat. Because of his phrasing, the listener never knew where he would accent parts of words or phrases. His stage presence had a level of confidence almost bordering on cockiness that made him all the more enjoyable to listen to and watch.
