Man,
I miss Friday with Frank, used to listen to it every Friday night in PHL.
Now my favorite although only 60 min, is the Jazz Decade on NPR Sunday night from 7 to 8 pm.

FRANK :D he lives!!!!!:bl:

And Sinatra himself said Antonio Benedetti had the best pipes in the business -

You know, Tony ben-NOOT...:hihi:

Tony Bennett for youse non-Italians...:hs:

Frank in the 50's is pure art. His voice at that stage of his career is my favorite era.

Talking about Mr. Sinatra remember Phil Hartman on the SNL skit with Sinead O' Connor. Hilarious. Who's the Bald Chick

LOL ... A couple of years ago a co-worker and myself were on a job on Boylston St. Who comes walking down the street ,,no body guards ,, all alone ,, Tony Bennett ... I was quite impressed .. My bud ,, co worker just snarled as he walked by .. My buds italian ,,, Has no respect for Tony changing his Italian name .. Calls him Benedetti ... refuses to call him Bennett ..

Hey, not too long ago it wasn't cool to have a last name that ended in a vowel - that's why my last name is spelled the way it is.

Actually, my grandfather changed his name to Murphy (not legally) when he moved to NY - it was automatically assumed that you were part of the brotherhood if your name was Italian.

He was quite the ladies man in his day, I understand from what my uncle tells me - so they would have figured out he wasn't Irish...:laughs:

DISCLAIMER

No affront to my Irish bretheren - it's a joke, for chrissakes...

Hartman as Sinatra:

"Hey, cool it - I got pieces of guys bigger than you in my stools" - :rotflmao:

while on utube checking out Frank stuff, I could not help but clik on some of the old Dean Martin celeb roast stuff. I was a kid back when the show was on and remember the show. Foster Brooks, Don Rickles, Sammy Davis, just to name a few. Great comedy.

I know it isn't music but this is a classic sketch.

Foster Brooks...:rotflmao:...oh man, I was laughing out loud listening to that classic -

Now that right there is funny, I don't care who you are...:hihi:

During his later tours - Diamond, etc - the promoters had to provide Frank with hard boiled eggs and a bottle of Jack Daniel's.
A 75 year-old guy eating hard boiled eggs and drinking booze at night - better hope the green room had a fan and a window.

Lots of the best Sinatra clips got pulled from YouTube---but some gems are still there.

And of course, his signature song--a live recording where you can hear that his voice is on the downside :(

Actually that was Paul Anka's song :hidin:

And he stole it from a couple of French guys :wave:
