Frank Sinatra

[CityInWashingtonState]

Not an album... but another favorite of mine

 

[OB1]

Live at the Sands






Frank's timing is sublime - the entire album is gold. One of my very favorites.

Frank's phrasing is simply the best.

Is it true that When Mario Puzo wrote the Godfather he based the film star wannabe loosely on Frank's connections? Having said that, he did have a fantastic voice and it was my dear old mums' request to play my way at her funeral.

Yes.

This is my personal favorite. Great album from start to finish. And sounds great on vinyl.

If Nat hadn't died so young, Sinatra would have remained in his shadows.

Are you serious?
Sinatra had been a huge star of music and screen for 20 years when Nat died. Nat was superb but Frank was a bigger "star".

Matt Monro is a good call , I began listening to him more after they played Softly as I leave you as Jack Duckworth died , a very well written, well acted, moving bit of tv
that said ,still prefer ole blue eyes
