I like that I was born recently and not in the time of this music. I can enjoy this music, and the good music of today, and still have time to enjoy the good music of tomorrow.
@skating1611 then don't listen to that music. listen only to what you find good in recent music, look past the mainstream and find what you like. I'm sure there's something for you out there.
@lolatyoufools ~claps~ people need to realize more, that there is splendid music today if they merely try to look. music is always advancing and growing in different ways. its just that people think of the music of today as only the most popular pop songs which is foolish ^_^ Must past, future and present are thrilling!
@reubenharvey No NO if you were born when this was the music of the day you would be an old man like me now, just hang on in there and all the good things will come around again, its too good to go away forever, we have Mr Buble nowadays, and Jack Jones, Tony Bennett and many many more.
Alright, this isn't one of those Thumbs up things, But who clicks this song, listens to the song, then suddely is like "Wow this isn't good at all! I must let people know!" Then gets another account to make sure Everyone knows Frank Sinatra has bad music. Who does that?
Yes, how little we know...But now we know more. Practice Sun gazing by Hira Rata Manek (Google) for brilliant health(i see people talk about health here).
I am always amused by all the comments from those who want to live in the 30s and 40s for the great music. Yes, it's wonderful, never again stuff. But you do have the films and records. As one born in 1933, that that period was the time of the great economic hardship. It saw Facism and Communism, and the most brutal wars of all time. Life was dangerous. Before I was 15, before antibiotics, I had measles, mumps, chicken pox, scarlet fever, hepatitis, tuberculosis, diptheria and tonsilitis.
@49kasey - I am pleased to tell you that I did survive it all. My younger brother had every one of the same diseases except the hepatitis and tuberculosis. He also had rheumatic fever, which I never did. My parents both had TB, too. Thanks to all that exposure and involvement, I must have built up one hell of an immune system. After I turned 16, I was hardly ever sick a day until I survived prostate cancer 15 years ago. To keep this thread on topic, Happy Birthday Frank!!! (Dec 12)
@Russell230870 You probably know by now, but this was originally released as a single, so it only appears in various Capitol Collections: the Capitol Years, the Best of the Capitol Years, the Complete Capitol Singles Collection, etc.
This music is from the golden era of life. I would give anything to go to this time even for just a day, just to see it and love it for what it was. I wish i was born from 1925 and lived just to the middle of 1990. To bad i got stuck in 2000 with its horrible music
Mr S and N Riddle...the golden era of performance and orchestration. Plus the recording in the studio is fabulous. We will never see the likes of this again. P.s., one of my favs of Frank!
This tune bounced round in my head until I figured out 30 yyears later it was Sinatra with Nelson Riddle's orchestra. My parents use to listen to this music all the time, on 78's or on the radio in the car.
Voices of the Sinatra era did seem to have a more subtle "roundness" than the modern enhanced sounds, although todays style is markedly different.
However, while the added reverberation might improve the "roundness" of some sounds, it sure won't add anything to the timing, styling and phrasing of a superb interpreter of the modern song.
And Sinatra was certainly one of the best interpreters, if not the best.
Perhaps when you get to this level of competence, there is no objective way of ranking the contenders (and probably not much to be gained either), its all a matter of personal taste.
In this elite group, my personal favorites include Ella Fitzgerald, Bing Crosby, Nat King Cole, Edith Piaf, Billy Holiday and Matt Monro. How about that for a mixed bag!, it says more about me than any reflection on the individuals.
I love your list of "contenders". Although, I'm not very good with French so my knowledge of Edith Piaf is hampered. I'm a big Nat Cole fan, as well as Tony Bennett and Sarah Vaughan. I still think Frank was the best but he had a lot of "contenders" nipping at his heels. We all benefited from the "competition". I like having these kinds of discussions because, as you pointed out, it says more about us, the listeners, than the actual performers. What your list says about you is good.
Capitol records has a special reverberation room beneath their recording studio. As the artist is singing, the recording is sent down into this room, bounces off the walls down there and gets picked up again by another mic then fed back into the recording studio which gives all their music that really rich, deep sound. It was on the news a little while ago because they were getting upset that developers nearby were upsetting their acoustics with all their drilling noise. :)
Just my opinion, but the recording equipment seemed to be better in those days...possibly vacuum tubes and better mikes. Just seems to be more balanced and pleasant that today's recordings, which are artificially enhanced.
I am sure I will get all kinds of negative replies here but....
I have always thought Frank Sinatra's singing voice was way overrated. His voice was flat sounding and just not very good in my opinion.
Frank's voice does not compare well to other male singers of his era such as Dean Martin.
I have always had suspicions that Frank's career in show business was successful because he was helped out by his Mafia friend's - much the way Johnny Fontane was helped out in the movie "The Godfather".
