His best song: “I Did It My Way” - My dad has a record collection of Sinatra, Martin, ect. and we’d listen in the evening for hours just by firelight. It was great memories.

Because there are no more standards (contemporary songs that every artist sings) and singers aren’t as prized for their singing voices anymore as they are for their “celebrity” status.
Hard to replace someone when the entertainment world doesn’t appreciate talent anymore.

Sinatra was a jerk. I play his LPs backwards for yuks.

Frank’s voice was absolutely pure. Simply one of the best in “pop” music ever. I was fortunate to see him in 1991. He was singing off a TelePrompTer but it was absolutely magical. Also, do yourselves a favor and get Sinatra Live at the Sands. Count Basie and his orchestra played and it was Sinatra in his prime in Vegas in 1966.

Yes, Sinatra was great. But for me, please play some Dean Martin.
Thanks for posting these nick.

It’s an unpopular opinion but I’ve never found anything the least bit interesting about Sinatra or his choice of music. He is to music what Budweiser is to beer; very popular and bland, tasteless and boring IMHO

Crosby had far more talent and was a much bigger success.

I recall when his daughter Nancy came out with "These Boots are Made for Walking", Frank countered with "Strangers in the Night." Quite a father-daughter double play.
After 1960, Sinatra was a republican btw.

Thank you for that. As it was ending, I realized that I had had a smile the entire time. Thanks again.

“After 1960, Sinatra was a republican btw.”
Really? I’d like to believe that. Did this have anything to do with Sammie Davis Jr. being denied an invite to the White House?
