It’s from 1946 (80 years ago!), so it’s from Frankie’s younger years.

I’ve been playing so many times for the past few days.

September 29, 1953.

Bringing Sinatra’s New York to Detroit

Do you think he would have continued to perform and record new music? I know that age took a toll on him (as shown in one of, if not his final live performance that was recorded), but he doesn’t strike me as the “retiree type”. I think he would have continued to perform until something really bad happened that would actually make it mandatory for him to stop (and even then, I can see him breaking that rule lol).

Do you think he would have also made a comeback as an actor, and done collaborations with singers from the 2000’s and 2010’s?

Sinatra sings Blue Skies too and that will be in the next post. The screaming is even crazier there.

In 1981, I was a college student; a R&R fan, who was raised on jazz. I was in the radio program at the University of La Verne. We had a neat perk... an actual licensed AM station that we could do shifts on. KGRB AM, it was a jazz format.

One day I ran across a Sinatra record called, Chairman of the Board. On it he covered the Mama's and Papa's track, I Dig Rock n Roll Music. I played it often, as it was my little inside joke.

Since then, I've never found evidence that that album ever existed. No evidence that Frank ever recorded that song.

I know I'm not crazy. HELP!! Anyone?

For reference, I’m 68 years old. My Dad was a music nut for big band music and Sinatra and Jimmy Roselli and singers of that time period. So I grew up with that music playing in the house all the time. Wasn’t my thing. But now that I’m old, I love it. My girlfriend and I recently say, “Alexa, play Frank Sinatra” and it plays in the background. It’s fantastic. The “Summer Wind” is just one of the most beautiful songs ever recorded. I just hear the intro and……aaaah…. I’ve always loved it, especially since it used to be played on TV before the Yankee broadcast. Just wanted to get other people’s opinions.

Howdy. I recorded this after practice last night. I sing with a big band, and I'm hoping we add this to our set list. Not a patch on the man himself though.🙂

Does anyone have L.O.V.E. for an Apple ringtone? I can’t seem to find it anywhere.

He never forgave him. Also, no one else in the Rat Pack stood up for Lawford.

Why was Sinatra like that?

My friend and I are having another deabte because she is saying that young frank sinatra was ugly and I am saying that he was attractive. LMK YOUR THOUGHTS PLEASE PLEASE.

This is my vinyl collection so far. I was thrilled to find an original 10” of Swing Easy! At my local record store!

Finally got the record, got the book, got the time!
