some big shot producer was asked at the grammy's red carpet about the demise of W Houston, "we lost the best voice of all time" he said. Is this the record industry today? you get to be that big without having even heard Sinatra?
Wow. The ad and the song that came after it were almost the same length. I guess corporate America wants us to believe that buying some shit is equally as important as listening to fine music.
I LOVE this song! Fantastic. No one could sing this song better than Frank. They play this over the opening/closing credits of "Pope of Greenwich Village" with Mickey Rourke (back when he was handsome) & Eric Roberts.
This hit by Ol' Blue Eyes was the 78th #1 song on Billboard's Easy Listening charts. It is now known as the Adult Contemporary charts. This was Frank's third #1 on this chart.
This was playing over the loudspeakers as I left the racetrack in Saratoga earlier this evening, another season at the track having come and gone. I was singing it to myself all the way home and I knew I'd have to look it up the moment I walked in the door.
Summer is gone, 10 weeks off, and come tomorrow all bets are off for tranquility, peace of mind, a life of frolicking on the shore, sipping lemonade, and just shmoozing with the sun. ITS OVER FACE THE FACTS. We're left with Sinatra.
The fact that first heard this in, and will always associate it with, the "Rear Window" episode of the Simpsons only makes it more emotional for me. A definitive end of summer song.
@Castingcrowns4him one thing i will never understand is why they are here and or another site and neggative...so sad....so sad..i grew up with a radio and if i didnt like it i went to another chanel..and said nothing
No song ever made today could come close to the level of melodious resilience and irreproachableness of this masterpiece. This is class. This is music. This is the Great American Songbook.
Im 24 years old and have had to listen to shit like lady gaga that make me want to take my own life when she comes on tv, thank god for sinatra, cash and all the other legends from the 50's, 60's and 70's!
THANK YOU GARY RUSSO: New York 2nd avenue Frank Sinatra.
This N.Y. street crooner brought this song to my attention:
Summer Wind - Frank Sinatra [Hoboken, New Jersey] - 1966 - "AMG Pick. Like The Capitol Years, the four-disc box set The Reprise Collection was released to celebrate Frank Sinatra's 75th anniversary." - The Reprise Collection (Reprise) [Disc 3]-1990.
NOTE: However, it works as a better sampler than the Capitol set, partially because Sinatra released so many albums on Reprise ...
Thru the "fullness of time" all will come to appreciate the genius of "Scout" as his son called him .
When I was a teen I didn't understand when the great jazz legends , would rave about Frank's talent, what they meant, now I do but it took me 40 yrs .
I am now a music student and learning to "site read" , Frank had perfect pitch and could keep up with professional musicians so they respected him , not just his "celebrity" .
Plus he was a secret philanthropist and never wanted thanks
Summer wind, a metaphor for those quick, but beautiful love affairs, that end often just as they began. They just aren't ever based on anything strong enough to keep them alive through all the seasons, yet they're strong enough to remain in one's memory. Sinatra captures that haunting beauty and that near silly futility all at once. He's the master!
@IsaiahC1996 Who cares what year it is, as long as you are following the true meaning of this master piece. What should matter is the person you have become because of this marvelous music.
Frank was not always the nicest guy but when he was he was the best
