Frank Sinatra - With Every Breath I Take

[MichaelHansenFUN]

my mother has the original vinyl!!!

[bigphil088]

i can listen to this song over and over

[bernalor1]

The great Frank Sinatra. It is truely amanzing the way he articulated every word so perfectly and how expressively he sang. There will never be another Frank.

[xochitlBTK]

I wish somebody singed this to me.

[gipperbanana]

I am 95 years old and hate all of this old music and prefer Justin Bieber anyday!!

[chaseyl1]

This is excruciately beautiful.

[blindboygrunt13]

a Britney Spears commercial before Frank Sinatra? He just turned over in his grave..

[fojay2007]

This song is a gem! For me the Close To You album is Sinatra's best. In fact, it was the first Sinatra album I bought back in the eighties when Capitol re-issued his albums in the original sleeves. From that moment on I really started to discover Sinatra. Before that I listened to the Sinatra LP's my dad left at my mom's and thought the Sinatra of the seventies was great... But then I found out about the 1950's, the Capitol Years.

[gfks11]

Thanks James for sending, i love it!!:-)

[PlanetEarthSupport]

[MsBaby717]

Very meaningful song.  I love this...only Frank Sinatra can sing this beautifully...

[RINGOFE]

this is so good!

thank you for the good music..

Greetings from Greece

[SuperiorHawke]

Very happy to see someone of my age that is a huge fan of Frankie as well!

How many of us do you actually know, hm? We're like ninjas, invisible.

We hide behind the kids that play Pop, R&B etc.

They'd probably never understand our taste in music.

I'm proud to have a different taste in music than the average teenager.

So, THIS is what my ears recognize as 'true music', I'm 17, haters gonna hate.

[Jamesmac30]

I love this version recorded 5th April 1956 - the album tried to recreate the intimate Axel Stordahl arrangements of the 40's but wasn't the success hoped for.

[MissYellowTulip]

DAMN! i've never got enough of his voice... <3 :))

[itsarod13]

The sound of Frank Sinatra and his music can make me hop out of my seat or just give me chills to the core

[belasgirl6]

I'm 98 and a HUGE FAN of Frank Sinatra, shewwwwwwwwww

[honeybee7700]

such a very sad song and it speaks directly to my heart

[49kasey]

This is a unique Sinatra album, very beautiful and very nicely remastered. This is my favorite track from it. He is most known for his swing tunes but he was the incomparable balladeer. Check out "Only The Lonely", "Where Are You", and "No One Cares".

[mynewpastime]

I have heard Franks voice all of my life. Even though I'm a rock n roller at heart. His voice makes me feel good. Best singer ever.

[kellylikescheerios]

its sad that people a happy to see a 16 year old say they love sinatra. It should be completely normal.

[nashvillesong]

great posting from a great album!  BTW---Bing Crosby sang this originally in a film from 1935...I love both versions :) One of the great Standards...what a song.

[defundthewar]

Aren't the first notes the same as "Pug Nosed Dream?" 

[49kasey]

@defundthewar Those notes are pretty much standard. A lot of the "doo wop" songs of the 50's are actually old standards.

[missirene1920]

can you put in the lyrics too.......it would be nice to sing along...such great music!!!!!and the voice is just undescribeable!!!!

[opmabanta]

this song is one of my favorite of frank sinatra

[x170063]

Wow, Frank Sinatra was such a great singer. I am discovering more of his music these days, and really enjoying his songs.

[brownsuga1212]

i guess one person accidently pressed the thumbs down button o_o

[ocnoreen]

I love the old ballads! How great was the music and terrific lyrics. So romantic. Not like the crap of today.

[chingblancaflor]

i love this song...

[mpm111144]

I was born in 1944. after the 1960's, the music really did die. Long live the King; Frank Sinatra!

[AboveCommonInsyt]

@mpm111144 dang, and you know how to work youtube? Im amazed. I mean that in a good way

[mpm111144]

@AboveCommonInsyt LOL@..." how to work you tube?" Yep...know how to tie my own shoe laces too... lmao...I was actually an electronics tech before I retarded...er...retired... :D))

[suggs59]

Brilliant phrasing . Absolutely effortless

[56Packman]

For my taste, Sinatra reached his peak in the 50s and early 60 when he worked with Nelson Riddle (as here). His voice deepened, and his ability to communicate the story of the lyrics matured. I like his earlier work with Axel Stordal, it is fine music, but feel that the work he did with Riddle has a timelessness that makes it fresh every time I listen.

But then, with the exception of the duets albums, there are no bad FS records!

[KillzoneV3]

i was going to say something...but when it comes to something this marvelous...i cant quite find the words for it... :)

[Tony7840]

"Close T You;" without a doubt, the most romantic album ever recorded by Frank. The Hollywood String Quartet......WOW!!!!!!!

[lebrel12]

GOD Tell me why i didnt born in the 50´s???!!!

[Enforcer122]

The lyrics are so nice. I'm 15, and I think this is such a song of great magnitude. Franks' voice truely was one of the best of all time.

[chingblancaflor]

His voice is cool and has perfect pronounciation. What a stress reliever! Beautiful song! Thank you seriousblack0.

[IMYOURHEAD]

wauw.. im going to listen this with my girlfriend. aahhh.. deep heavenly voice

[christianbrecht]

Sinatra during the 40's was not at his best since I feel he tended more to just deliver the melody but not the genuine emotion. He was more just a crooner then. But during the late 50's to the 70's I feel the real emotion coming through his rendition. He will always be my most favorite male singer. Perry Como is a close second.

[closedcircle1]

I would strongly disagree. I love his earlier big band songs. But I believe his best stuff was done between 43 and 49. after this, he had a throat op and was never quite the same, although he still delivered authenticly. listen to tracks like 'all the things you are' and 'you'll know when it happens.' I don't believe his voice could be bettered.

[christianbrecht]

@closedcircle1 in a way I also agree like in the case of "Why try to change me now" recorded during the 40's.

[Adrillius]

I love this song so much.

[onearmedfisherman]

a master at his abolute peak. and what a beautiful arrangement. in my opinion one of his best songs ever

[CraigsMusicPlace]

this is my faorite song from this album. It is so intimate and quiet, yet so full of feeling

[rozepoloshirtje]

=D I enjoyed!!

[LadyDtch]

Beautiful....wow - loved it... A Voice Never To Forget!!

[gipperbanana]

I agree with theguy below.Sinatra is the master.I say this not as a lover of the man or as a type of sentimentalism but simply from the fact that he brings out more of the song than others.Others too are great like Tony bennett and Dean Martin not to mention Elvis who was amazing but sinatra is the only one who gace the song a complete stage.He is always in harmony with the surrounding music.That is a gift from God that very few singers possess.

[jorl05]

@gipperbanana i don't know, don't forget Roy Orbison

[823077]

Sinatra runs a close second behind Tiny Tim..

[BillDFC]

He couldn't get Ava off his mind.

[lffit]

this is an extraordinary recording!

[cocotel08]

yea it is. and was recorded back in `57 !!!! good quality..

[beriflor]

hey tony7840, i loved bobby darin and saw him in person in his prime, what a talent, but tony, sorry amigo, only one person could captivate an audience even close to mr sinatra and that was sammy davis jr., when it comes to pure rendition of a song, i don't care who's singing no one ever comes close to frank, even placido domingo said sinatra is the greatest singer of all time

[Jasonagf]

Dino! Dean Martin is the man, thats my opinion atleast.

[charles43110]

I loved Dean. But he did not extend himself. Frank sang a much broader range of music and styles. And his arrangements, tes HIS arrangements were incredible.

[TheMRMProductions]

I'm 16 and a HUGE FAN of Frank Sinatra.

[tyralover1994]

me too! and im 14 (:

[xXTauRXx]

@TheMRMProductions Me Too ;) hes makes amazing music, he got a nice style and he has an awesome voice :D

[TheMRMProductions]

@xXTauRXx idd :). he is just the best.

[suprmn95]

good for you kid!

[fernandgabrielli1]

@TheMRMProductions I became his fan at 10, in 1973. My friends that thought I was crazy now say he's just the best. I suffered wondering if I was wrong, but I was so right. Lucky you who can enjoy his music early in life. Always try to make it happen in your life the way Music suggests. Becouse Music is part of God, and for this reason we can make it come true. Best wishes!

[pogi022534]

this song is so memorable to me way back in 1957. I was in 4th year college, taking uo Mechanical engineering in Manuel L. Quezon University.

[j3shika]

wow...you're old!

well, aside from that, you were actually around when he was around?! cool!!

how was it back then?

[Nirah]

Sinatra on;y died in '98 . . .

[g0thman]

...how old are you?

[Anditoto]

love this! thanks for posting! :) sinatra Fan at 16 :P

[chris20000005]

wow

[DelfinoGio]

fantastic song, fantastic album. Was the first one I really heard of his, my grandma had it. I fell in love with his voice right then.

[Corrie121]

I love this song, and Frank's rendition of it is superb.

Elizabeth Welch made a great recording of this beautiful song too.

Thanks for sharing.

[cryding]

I love this CD and this is maybe my favorite from it...so delicate and quiet. Sinatra always tailors his dynamics to fit the arrangement; just awesome here. The emotion when he brings the song back after the bridge(if that is right) is great to hear.

[calamariking]

Buble is talented and it's good he tries to keep these songs alive, but his voice is so sterile and can never possess the substance and character that Frank's has.

[78timothy]

This song was written about 1934-35. I have the Victor Recording by George Hall, w/vocal by Joey Nash, also the Freddy Martin recording w/vocal by Elmer Feldkam on Brunswick, One of my Fave songs.. Both are emotional, but Frank injects new life into this song. Great Love song just right for the Old Blue Eyes! Like how he takes it back at the second bridge, making it become the coda. Cute Trick by Nelson Riddle. 5*****

[TwilightObsessor07]

They just can't make it the way Sinatra did.....

I am extremly proud to be a Sinatra fan at 15 years old :D

[carolinaide]

I've actually been a fan since I was 5. My grandpa was in love with him, and so am I. I'm 15 now too. ;D

[raine0acid]

im 15 also and im a VERY big sinatra fan

[haydster89]

i know id be ridiculed by friends for being a 14 year dude kid liking Frank Sinatra, but i could care less! this music is just amazing!

you have to appreciate this kind of music. Just have to!

[Tony7840]

The name of this particular CD is; "Close To You." One of the BEST ever!!!!!!!

[Tony7840]

Michael Buble??? Are you serious?? The only one that "topped" Frank, was Bobby Darin!!!!!!

[Politeama]

This is one of my all time favorite LP by Sinatra. I was thrilled when it came out in de cd format. My LP is an old one that belonged to my parents. He was in such a good moment when he recorded this gem. I love "P.S. I Love You".

[guysmiley1980]

This is my favorite track from this album, which is one of my favorites. It is exquisite. P.S. I Love You as well.

[78timothy]

This song dates from 1934, I have the Scroll label Victor of this w/Richard Himber and his Ritz~Carleton Hotel Orch. Vocal by Joey Nash. Good to compare to any other version, but once again, "Ol' Blue

Eyes" does not disappoint. Love the Violin interlude in the middle of the song.

[jamierourketen]

there really is a lot of amazing vocalists out there,but no one can top this man!

[liebtiff]

I couldn't agree with you more. No other male vocalist past, present or future will ever match the wonderful Francis Albert Sinatra. He has an incredible voice and sings with such feeling. I know that you've made a comment about Frank in regards to his music and his voice, but let me add the only other singer who sings with the same depth of emotion is the fabulous Eydie Gorme. No female vocalist past, present or future will match her either. I am a huge fan of both singers and love their music.

[jamierourketen]

i love eydie!,also ella when she did all the "songbooks" on the verve label...

[liebtiff]

I love Ella Fitzgerald too. I grew up with her music because my parents were fans. I'm also crazy about Peggy Lee...she was an incredible singer. Our world today is lacking artists of Frank, Peggy and Ella's caliber. I'm glad their music is still being played on radio stations and will continue to be for many years to come. I'm happy that Steve and Eydie are still going strong 50+ years into their careers. I wish they were heard more on the radio though. They are incredible talents too!!!

[DeanMartinFollower]

though i agree sinatra was great, probably the greatest, i just fnid it stupid how people say no one will ever this that... what? things are not possible anymore? Thats what people said about Bing Crosby, then came Frank. Its stupid blind nut-huggery to boldly predict the future when you have not been in the future to make such judgment. All of a sudden Eydie Gorme is the only other singer? do me a favor and slap yourself for that, you might snap out of it and right into reality. Might help.

[mauricioD]

No need to quarrel DMlover: for the half-century since Sinatra achieved his mature level of artistry with music arrangers who reinvented the songs of their own generation no comparable vocalist has come along. Inventive arrangers should help the Bubbles, the Grogans, etc., realize and record fresh versions of contemporary standards. No dash or flash will make a dent so long as they continue to perform arrangements that remind audiences of Sinatra, who made the songs inextricably his.

[87redsilver]

That people like Buble' and others keep reproposing Sinatra stuff all goes to show how strong his influence has been ; that is why it's difficult to break away from him . But you are right , he made some of the songs inextricably his .

[davebondoc2007]

Thank you buddy. Frank is still the chairman.

[davebondoc2007]

I like this song. A rare and a collector's item.

How can i get one copy of this?

[seriousblack0]

He has such a wonderful voice, and this arrangement is beautiful. Sinatra & strings is just the best!

I've got the capitol years box set and it's in there, tho it's pretty expensive if your not a die hard fan.

Can probably pick the cd up by itself on amazon...

[Tony7840]

"serious black0""Sinatra And Strings" is a TOTALLY dfifferent album!!!

[seriousblack0]

I know, I meant the combination of Sinatra's voice with string instruments. lol

They go together so perfectly. :)

[Russell230870]

@davebondoc2007 Its available on CD but it's one of the rarer ones out there. It's not too hard to paick up online though.

[soundslikefrank]

Why he was "The Voice"!! Just magnificent, love you, Frank!
