[babylove410]

From a woman's perspective, 1:00 to 1:05, kiss me, kiss me, kiss me

Beautiful coed group and vocals.... the best of both worlds in a singing group.

[t21229513]

I think he did say bullsh*t

Frank doin' a Laura Nyro song; I'm smiling ear to ear, baby.

gooooood morning... MORNINGGG

[jimaroo100]

I don't think Frank kept his costume after the gig....

[CelestialEmbodiment]

ALL pictures of Frank Sinatra alive were taken before his death.

[CelestialEmbodiment]

Frank Sinatra's mob connections kept him in wholesale cigarets. While my Dad was paying 40¢ for a pack of Raleighs, Frank was getting them for 23¢: a savings of 17¢.

@CelestialEmbodiment Didn't Frankie get Luckys ?

[CelestialEmbodiment]

@weskittun : Frank lacked brand-loyalty.

Let's hear it for Laura and her greatness and the legacy she left for us to enjoy!!!

[NiteAngel]

WOW I cant believe that blacks were able to sing at one time,

[songwriters2]

Seen this show from back stage in 1969 Thanks for the great Video!

[DaysOfBrokenArrows]

Is it me, or is Sinatra mouthing the word "bullsh*t" instead of "blindness" at around 1:05?

[jimaroo100]

@DaysOfBrokenArrows  I thin both you and frank are right.

[babylove410]

@DaysOfBrokenArrows I think you are correct, what a scream. I showed my co-workers and we are divided on this, but I think you hit the nail on the head. Only he could get away with this!!!!! Love it!

[TheSwingSinger]

Could this man do no wrong!

[NostalgicDi]

Oh, I love it! Sinatra as I've never seen him!!! Thank you so much for uploading FrankSinatra.

We all loved the 5th Dimension. They recorded Jimmy Webb's Up Up & Away right here in Las Vegas and also, they opened for FS at his very first Caesars Palace gig!

As for the song, well, it may look corny now but Back then, Frank was the HOST, they were his GUESTS and it was common to perform together. FS knew a thing or two about gropu singsing; he helped invent it. Let's all rememner Billboard's very first #1 song, 'I'll Never Smile Again,' back in 1940, was a group thing.

[artanisdio]

@1915fas....I think FS looked great and sounded great. I also believe he was somewhat modern. Something most of the singers of his genre were afraid to do. He should have sang more in this particular song. He seemed to be just starting to get into it all. God Bless you Francis Albert. There will never be another you.

Frank loved the 5th D. They were his favorite of the "mod" singers and groups. This is from one of his TV specials here they were his guests.

[playboatify]

laura nyro doesn't get the recognition as a great songwriter (And when I die BS&T,stoned soul picnic,etc.) Like a natural woman, too Aretha 7 this

[supernuke]

love laura nyro and this is a good cover

[Stunatra]

Frank's voice is pure sex here. Shame he didn't have more lines.

"Please don't tell my mother/I'm a saloon and a moonshine lover..."

Sinatra doing the 5th Dimensions' thing, but awesome, nonetheless...

[fc7alibi]

Lovin´ the suit, Frank.

[defundthewar]

This may have been the same show where he put on a Nehru jacket, very popular and kitsch at the time. But make no mistake about it, this is not the real Frank. He had impeccable taste in clothes and accessories. But he was not above trying to be contemporary and attracting younger fans.

[1915fas]

@defundthewar I think your right about the Nehru jacket. Years ago, somebody at Esquire Magazine did a gag article about never released Sinatra albums including a Bhagavad Gita Sinatra cover with the jacket. According to legend, when a musician burst out laughing at Frank in the suit, he lost his cool and walked out on the session.

[defundthewar]

@1915fas I don't believe it, and I advise you not to, either, because it makes no sense. Frank's occasional lapses into poor taste had a reason-- to be more "now," not wind up a basically nostalgic figure, like Bing Crosby. Frank was single-minded about his career; that came first. But there is no logical reason why he would wear something outlandish at a recording session, just to be seen by staff and musicians.

Que grandes Temas, mi hijo con solo meses de vida los disfrutaba atentamente... Saludos desde Chile y con especial recuerdo a The 5th Dimension y al maestro Sinatra...

[luckybroad49]
