1- Ava Garner fue sin duda, la figura más grande e incomparable del cine americano de todos los tiempos. Pudo haber, porque todo es posible, una mujer más bonita, o de mejor cuerpo o que cantara y bailara mejor, pero jamás, jamás, jamás, una mujer más hermosa, más talentosa y más extrañamente triste, que Ava. Enamorada de Clark Gable, este no le correspondió y ella dijo: ¿Amo a los caballeros pero ... ¿por que a mí, solo me tocan los patanes? Frank parecía muy romántico, pero muy peleonero.
Sinatra; goes without saying - the greatest of all time.
I'm no-prude, but it's amazing how a sensual woman - Ava Gardner in this vid - can look utterly mesmerising without getting her clothes-off. What is wrong with the 'artistes' today? I'll tell you; they're devoid of ingenuity - no-class, none whatsoever.
When America was great. :( So sad I couldn't be a part of this whats my generation got...nothin but greedy bastards hating our own country. Sigh at least America will live through the voices of the past.
There is at least one Entertainer Living who sings every song like he's lived every line
and his name is HUNTER HAYES from Jersey. he has an awesome new CD out right now on iTunes .,called " IT'S A WONDERFUL LIFE " ,give some of his original songs
a listen, especially , "Spanish love Song " or " Mother and Son " and " Be a Winner "
see him perform on YouTube ,although he's not crooning a lot on the video you'll get the point .
Franks Sinatra's signature in his songs was his PHRASING. He enuciated his words and they flowed easy with his ability to cresendo an pianisimo with ease. He was the King, but also his crew was rough also. Dean Martin, Sammy Davis Jr. could roon their asses off and don't forget Bing Crosby. His White Xmas is a classic.
The men and women in the 1930's-1950's knew how to dress. Things started getting really trashy close to the end of the 1960's and the 1970's was an all out BOMB. Check out Jimmy Cagney, Humphrey Bogart, Edward G. Robinson, Robert Mitchum, Marilynn Monroe, Ava Gardner, Bette Davis, Carol Lombard and all the others. Even our parents dressed. Not this wear your pants below your ass and girls going to school in pajamas and sandals looking like street walkers and their hygiene level has decreased to
@coporal4 Yes.I agree.they use to have an expression.Dressing to the Nines.This era was all class.I here Sinatra and watch Bogey.Man ,now that is pure magic.
ava gardner was so hot now iknow why frank fell for her but he was maried with kids and left nancy for ava he was a great singer an icon but not in the dept of family life rest in peace frank and ava
Just a breathtakingly BEAUTIFUL woman! Frank Sinatra lost a treasure and spent the rest of his life regretting his inability to recapture their love. Thank you for the wonderful video--and the time you expended putting this together for us!
Love love love Sinatra...and Ava Gardner was so beautiful, no wonder Sinatra fell in love with her. That relationship really done a number on him, it taught him how to sing a torch song for sure.
PERHAPS A BETTER VIDEO WOULD HAVE BEEN IVE GOT YOU UNDER MY SKIN. THIS IS THE ONE WOMAN HE LOST A PIECE OF HIS HEART TO AND NEVER WAS QUITE THE SAME AGAIN.
For my tastes, she was one of the hottest women to ever set foot on this little blue and green globe of ours. What a couple we would have made. It would have been legendary. Oh well, maybe in another life if the Fates are kind.
Franks voice was as genuine as they get. He sang as though he lived every song he sang. Singers of today like Michael Buble have pretty voices but they lack the genuineness you hear in a voice like Sinatras. Honestly, of all the singers who have been on American Idol, do you remember any of them in a memorable sense? I don't. The lush sound of Nelson Riddles arrangements enveloped Franks voice and he moved in and out of the lyric with such fluidity and ease it is truly startling.
@filmmekker yea, but Riddle did some of franks arrangements..maybe not this one in particular but a lot of others during the Capitol and Reprise early years.
@bluekarma thats cuz frank was what i call, for lack of a better term, a "past master". their degree of artisianship is beyond the point of being a master to the effect that they can control your feelings and emotions through their medium. for ex. irrespective of whether or not he was glum that day, and you were glum that day, he could still make you experience happiness or whatever he wanted, by his craft. its a very advanced form of communication. regardless the craft, past masters are rare.
@bluekarma You are so right. Harry Connick, Jr. is the ONLY "new" voice that comes close. Harry is a true genius who began his own orchestra at a very early age. Mel Torme, Tony Bennet, Dean Martin, Bing Crosby, these were giants and Frank was the acknowledged King, even by Bing himself!
@bluekarma Soo beautifully said. So rare nowadays, the blending of sound, the arrangements and talent. Fluidity & ease & genuineness...like he felt every feeling he sang. "So Rare"
@raydog699 By timeless I mean the timeless beauty of this music. look up "timeless" in the dictionary and maybe then you'll understand that my comment was far from an insult.
Es verdad lo que oi un día. "Sinatra cada día canta mejor". Escucho mucha mucha música. Siempre, siempre, siempre vuelvo a Sinatra............y canta mejor.
@silrosm OH, HERE WE GO with the "secret" language. WE ALL GET IT. YOU'RE HISPANIC. AND YOU SPEAK SPANISH. WOW. WHAT AN ACCOMPLISHMENT. You've been here all this time and still don't get that NO ONE CARES that you speak spanish, IT'S RUDE to insist on doing this in mixed company. This is america. We all CHOSE NOT TO MOVE TO MEXICO ON PURPOSE. Unsophisticated, provincial, BACKWARD people. Give it a rest, already. Your country sucks. BROADEN YOUR HORIZONS A BIT, or, I dunno go home.
way to go!!!! I am half Spanish, as in SPAIN~ and you know what Mary, I speak ENGLISH here in America.SO, thank you Mary for your response to Silrosm...And if I can expand on your comment, I really dislike how Mexicans have butchered the Spanish language....It is likened to American Slang, or British Cockney and calling it English... Mexican's speak Mexican... the Mexican dialect is no way near the beauty and romanticism of pure, and traditional Spanish language.~~BIG HUGS 4 MARY~
@maryspinker I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU MEAN ABOUT A " SECRET LANGUAGE"!!! I ONLY EXPLAINED THAT , THAT WAS A SPEECH ABOUT GARDEL IN AN URUGUAYAN RADIO SAYING : EVERY DAY SINGS BETTER!!!(GARDEL) AND I'M A SINATRA FAN EVEN!!! WHEN I WAS A LITTLE GIRL , MY MAMA WOKE UP ME EVERY DAY WITH GARDEL AT 6 O'CLOCK AND EVERY AFTERNOON I SLEPT WITH SINATRA.
I MUST TELL YOU TOO , I SPEAK AND WRITE CORRECTLY GERMAN , FRENCH , ITALIAN , PORTUGUESE AND AS YOU SEE ENGLISH ; NOT ONLY SPANISH !!!
@maryspinker And what is the problem with speaking spanish in the USA? It's a "free country" as you yankees say, that land of opportunities! Then WHY be such a filthy, anti american citizen? And for your information, America is a CONTINENT, not a country.
@maryspinker Mary, may I add, I fluently speak German, Spanish, Portuguese and English and I see you're just demonstrating chauvinism there. He was speaking about an URUGUAYAN radio show. THAT IS URUGUAY. Can you locate it on the map? Highly doubt it. Uruguay is thousand of miles away from the USA. And by the way, what's wrong about speaking spanish you dirty yankee? The world ain't american. Go home, read books.
@maryspinker Dear Mary, silrosm is not Mexican and he is responding to someone who also wrote in Spanish, evidently the message was not meant for you. Not everything south of your border is Mexico, there is a whole world out there and we all have internet; we are writing from abroad in German, Italian, French, Portuguese and Spanish, as I have seen the comments. So, please, let us be.
@silrosm OH, HERE WE GO with the "secret" language. WE ALL GET IT. YOU'RE HISPANIC. AND YOU SPEAK SPANISH. WOW. WHAT AN ACCOMPLISHMENT. You've been here all this time and still don't get that NO ONE CARES that you speak spanish, IT'S RUDE to insist on doing this in mixed company. This is america. We all CHOSE NOT TO MOVE TO MEXICO ON PURPOSE. Unsophisticated, provincial, BACKWARD people. Give it a rest, already. Your country sucks. BROADEN YOUR HORIZONS A BIT, or, I dunno go home.
"Hurricane Ava" proved to be FS's muse. Without the gut-churning angst that she produced in his romantic psyche, none of those Capital records sides would have been possible.
That so, so true polkakonigin! Every time has its own remarkable and gorgeous individuals! But, I'm not sure that every time has its own eye to notice the individual... Why do we think that the past is better and more human than our own time?
i just sit here and drift off into a world where only REAL MUSIC, sang by people with REAL TALENT can take me.. down with audio tune give me some lounge music!
@jorgeoscar1000 Yeah, with financial independence and the right to vote and god forbid, even the option to get a divorce if the guy is an asshole. Where has this world gone?!
Well I guess if a woman gets a divorce it must be because the guy is an 'asshole' or has cheated but if a guy wants a divorce for the same reasons- ie if a woman cheats... well he must have deserved it. I don't see feminists (who claim to believe in equality) standing up for fathers discriminated against in child custody. But what would I know. Im a male pig.
@WORLD8NSH5KNIGHT1 That's the best you can do? If you read the comments on some entertainment articles, you'd know that people let men get away with cheating much easier. They blame the woman for not being pretty enough, or only being with him for money, or say the man is so handsome it is natural to cheat, or that it's in men's "nature" to f**k around. While a cheating woman is quickly judged to be a slut. Personally I think any cheater is scum, regardless of gender.
The 1940s Frank Sinatra singing a romantic song based off of a concerto by Rachmaninoff??????? I think I just died and went to heaven..... NOTHING gets better than this, NOTHING!
All these comments about not finding any people with true class/gentlemen/ladies are just plain untrue. If every single one of your acquaintances are really that unremarkable, then you aren't surrounding yourself with the right kind of people. There are absolutely gorgeous human beings everywhere, not just "50" years ago.
@polkakonigin agreed. infact, most of these so called 'real' women they're talking about led incredibly unrealistic lives for their time. most women in the 40's weren't allowed to voice much of an opinion and still had to fill very strict gender and societal roles. how this makes them more 'real' I've yet to discover.
It's funny because people back then were more racist, homophobic, and sexist.
Ava Gardner seemed like she was funny, charming, and witty. She seemed to be much more than an object in a pretty dress, although looking at the comments here about "ladies" and "gentlemen," you'd think the only thing that matters was how well a man or a woman conformed to their gender norms. Not so much.
@polkakonigin I guess most people don't want to be alone and to surround themselves with whomever is at hand is just a defense mechanism to deal with be lonely. When you listen to music like this it makes a sencere levelheaded person stop and think; life is sweet and oh so short! There are wonderful people around today but they're like a diamond in the rough. We don't trust as freely as in the past and the so-called music of today doesn't make this any easier, right?
@polkakonigin no, you are wrong. People back then had more morals and respect for each other back then You have to look real hard to see those qualities today. Part of it is the decline in values and morality, and part of it is the microscope celebs live under. I'd rather look back than look around and see the perversions of today.

way to go!!!! I am half Spanish, as in SPAIN~ and you know what Mary, I speak ENGLISH here in America.SO, thank you Mary for your response to Silrosm...And if I can expand on your comment, I really dislike how Mexicans have butchered the Spanish language....It is likened to American Slang, or British Cockney and calling it English... Mexican's speak Mexican... the Mexican dialect is no way near the beauty and romanticism of pure, and traditional Spanish language.~~BIG HUGS 4 MARY~

@maryspinker Mary, may I add, I fluently speak German, Spanish, Portuguese and English and I see you're just demonstrating chauvinism there. He was speaking about an URUGUAYAN radio show. THAT IS URUGUAY. Can you locate it on the map? Highly doubt it. Uruguay is thousand of miles away from the USA. And by the way, what's wrong about speaking spanish you dirty yankee? The world ain't american. Go home, read books.
DarkShark190 1 year ago
@maryspinker Dear Mary, silrosm is not Mexican and he is responding to someone who also wrote in Spanish, evidently the message was not meant for you. Not everything south of your border is Mexico, there is a whole world out there and we all have internet; we are writing from abroad in German, Italian, French, Portuguese and Spanish, as I have seen the comments. So, please, let us be.

@ohcmeon
Well I guess if a woman gets a divorce it must be because the guy is an 'asshole' or has cheated but if a guy wants a divorce for the same reasons- ie if a woman cheats... well he must have deserved it. I don't see feminists (who claim to believe in equality) standing up for fathers discriminated against in child custody. But what would I know. Im a male pig.
WORLD8NSH5KNIGHT1 1 year ago
@WORLD8NSH5KNIGHT1 That's the best you can do? If you read the comments on some entertainment articles, you'd know that people let men get away with cheating much easier. They blame the woman for not being pretty enough, or only being with him for money, or say the man is so handsome it is natural to cheat, or that it's in men's "nature" to f**k around. While a cheating woman is quickly judged to be a slut. Personally I think any cheater is scum, regardless of gender.

All these comments about not finding any people with true class/gentlemen/ladies are just plain untrue. If every single one of your acquaintances are really that unremarkable, then you aren't surrounding yourself with the right kind of people. There are absolutely gorgeous human beings everywhere, not just "50" years ago.

@polkakonigin agreed. infact, most of these so called 'real' women they're talking about led incredibly unrealistic lives for their time. most women in the 40's weren't allowed to voice much of an opinion and still had to fill very strict gender and societal roles. how this makes them more 'real' I've yet to discover.

@polkakonigin
It's funny because people back then were more racist, homophobic, and sexist.
Ava Gardner seemed like she was funny, charming, and witty. She seemed to be much more than an object in a pretty dress, although looking at the comments here about "ladies" and "gentlemen," you'd think the only thing that matters was how well a man or a woman conformed to their gender norms. Not so much.
kives1985 1 year ago 2
@polkakonigin I guess most people don't want to be alone and to surround themselves with whomever is at hand is just a defense mechanism to deal with be lonely. When you listen to music like this it makes a sencere levelheaded person stop and think; life is sweet and oh so short! There are wonderful people around today but they're like a diamond in the rough. We don't trust as freely as in the past and the so-called music of today doesn't make this any easier, right?

@polkakonigin no, you are wrong. People back then had more morals and respect for each other back then You have to look real hard to see those qualities today. Part of it is the decline in values and morality, and part of it is the microscope celebs live under. I'd rather look back than look around and see the perversions of today.
