I'll Be Seeing You - Frank Sinatra - Tommy Dorsey

[loopycoolo345]

I'm only 15 and this music makes my heart swell. What more do you need then old swing? This music is perfection.

[MrCombat1965]

Why is Frank dressed like Thurston Howell III?

[mred0950]

The best there ever was or ever will be!

[lukitasrl]

Best version ever.

[Crusnik04x]

So hard to be 13 nowadays when you would rather listen to Frank's beautiful voice rather than a rapper talking about the size of his private parts...oh well.

[clydebarrow34]

@Crusnik04x Frankie was very fond of Bing Crosby early in his career with Harry James then Tommy Dorsey. It wasn't uncommon to see Frankie emulate his idol by donning the same captain/sail boat hat with a tweed checkered jacket and tobacco pipe. Once while filming a B-list musical with Tommy Dorsey's band, Bing visited the set and told Frank he was doing great and to keep it up. Frank would blow up big by 1943.

[STONNERSxRxUS]

@Crusnik04x im 15 and swing music lights up my heart :) its my favorite music by far. in school people make fun of me because they say its old people music but i look at them and say at least its real music and not cRAP like you listen to . it actually makes sense , and back then the world was more pure than today. im a kid that would o anything to go back 60, 70, 80, years ago <3

[Crusnik04x]

@STONNERSxRxUS

That makes me so happy to hear :) keep being yourself...don't let em change your opinion.

[BlazeetSKANK]

@STONNERSxRxUS They say the same shit to me! haha, i always say something to put them back in their place.

[RustyKoi]

@Crusnik04x I respect you a lot for that, coming from a 24 year old who had a similarly hard time when he was 13.

es inctreible como la ficcion se parece a la realidad , la iguala o la supera, alguien sabra a lo que me refiero de todas formas si nos referimos a la musica me encanta, cuando vi la pelicula me trajo algunas vivencias, soy argentino pero tambien tuvimos nuestra guerra

[ilovelife160]

:'(

[NiKKiBSEXCii]

the only one i think of in music industry that

is some what similar to music like the old times,

is bruno mars.

[settle238]

@NiKKiBSEXCii Or Harry Connick Jr. or Michael Buble.

[midusone]

@NiKKiBSEXCii or Aloe Blacc or Mayer Hawthorne.

[PatBB333]

Holy shit. Is that Frank singing? he sounds so different

[edmilan1]

Good ole blue eyes does it again--his voice is so mellow, suave and classy--incomparable and timeless. Bravo Frankie!

[wfarrar69]

#4pop in 1944.i believe this recording was released when frank sinatra was hitting big on the charts and so was tommy dorsey.this was recorded when frank was still with tommy in the early 1940's before he went on his own .the result? a classic tune here.

[anisete46]

why does sinatra look so weird ?

[killllshot]

@anisete46 If he really was tied to the mob i bet he had the photographer killed for taking the picture when he did. I would have!

[killapain]

@killllshot

he was tied to the mob! he did favors for them and they for him. the Godfather....johnny Fontane played by Al Martino...that was based on Frankie when he wanted to play maggio in "from here to eternity" in 1953. the mob got him the contract to play in the movie...thats when his career was in trouble. and in 1942...he was signed to tommy dorsey..Big band leader. he wanted out. the mob got him out of that contract! true story

[clydebarrow34]

@killapain There's varying accounts of this story. The most believable is that the two men Frank was acquainted with visited Dorsey and said "You don't want to have a dent in your trombone do you?" and Dorsey moreless laughed at the two thugs (who were starstruck to be in the presence of a Dorsey brother) and said he'd let Frank out of the contract and "to hell with him, he's a trouble maker anyway". The other story is they held a gun to his head. No one will ever know for sure now.

[LorentzElena32]

In this song Sinatra still had true emotion not just successful interpretation

[gyniest]

Great song by a great singer but there is too muvh Dorsey in this recording and not enough Sinatra and the tempo is too fast.

[reruntheathlete]

2 people are deaf

[DavidFick]

Is the similarity between the opening of vocal melody and the beginning of the sixth movement of Mahler's Symphony No. 3 mere coincidence. It's not like with Eric Carmen, whose two greatest hits ("All By Myself" and "I'll Never Love Again") are both drawn from slow movements of major works by Rachmaninoff (namely, the second movement of the Piano Concerto No. 2 and the third movement of the Symphony No. 2, respectively). Eric Carmen was a "one-concept" wonder who produced two hits this way.

[jimaroo100]

One of Frank's stellar qualities was his phrasing.... he is young here and you can already hear it. He said he learned everything he knew about phrasing from Tommy Dorsey.

(has a sudden urge to commit suicide)

[BetsyBooth22]

Frank is good but Bing is best

[MichaelHTillman]

Oh WOW that is a young pic of Mr. S. :D

[leafyutube]

My voice is just as good at Frank's but they don't give me a chance.

[mushndylan06]

we need more music like this nowadays!!

[sachioko234]

Melts the heart. . . <3

[avilo2]

Love it. Absolutely love it.

[ledalav]

that´s a delicius song, incredible

[xIMissYou1609x]

This was my grandpa's favorite song.. R.I.P 6-25-21 - 1-29-07 <3

[anisete46]

@xIMissYou1609x my mom, RIP 1918 - 1996

[akowiec1]

This beautiful composition was a name of the USAAF B17 Flying Fortress wchich a fly to help of Warsaw uprising,and crash trough unknown German FLAK on 18 September 1944.Glory of heroic American Commander Francis E Akins and his airmans crew!!! Warsaw always remember!!

[Cmmoore14]

im not even gonna lie. this shit goess ad Im like 14 hahaha.

[ginoulina]

1 person is clearly still so drunk from last night that he clicked the thumbs down thinking it was the thumbs up

[silverdub25]

This is a great post--thanks. With total respect to Frank Sinatra, who is a particular favourite of mine, I think that the Jo Stafford version of this particular song is unmatchable .

[wallofsound]

@silverdub25 I guess they're both unique in their own ways. This version speaks as a HIP arrangement of the song. Jo Stafford's is definitely a more serious one.

[iamsayda]

perfect

[Poloncha027]

Sometimes I do think I am in the wrong time period . . . . but hey! That's life!

[erhvincent28]

I love allllllllllllll this kind of music.....i wish it was still all like this today

[martingb66]

That's my favorite song of WWII...Ever!

[BubbleGumBullet]

I was definitely born in the wrong time period...

[Glinkaism1]

@BubbleGumBullet WW2 popular song. It takes a world war to bring out great music. Although composed in 1938, the song was inserted as orchestra music from a WW2 movie of the same name about a soldier.

Joseph Cotten, Ginger Rogers, Shirley Temple.

"P00pular" music today is below the lowest point thanks to the druggies and perverts who write and perform. And the sheeple who don't know the differece. I'm glad I was growing up when the great music of the 40s & 50s was popular.

Thanks youtube!!!

[bananawind011]

@BubbleGumBullet 

[Kakarot21591]

Can't decide whether this version or Liberace's is better...

[pgy002]

This song can mean something different and personal to everyone.

[pgy002]

Oh this is so great!!!!!!!!!!

[lovesongs52]

Perfect!!!

[leviandcj]

Frank Cunningham and his wife

[jenn1ifer]

who's the idiot that disliked this song?

[Lillian1225]

Nothing compares! I know I'll be seeing you!

[Linhombre69]

Definitely the best version! (Just a shame he didn't also record it with Harry James on those 1939 sessions in the Roseland Ballroom, Manhattan.)

[tim60s321]

one of the best versions of a great classic...thanks..did ole blue eyes ever sing a song badly? not a chance

[TheMostHappy1533]

Absolutely breathtaking!!

[paulkate72]

Frank and Tommy Dorsey are good, they're really good. Even so, as a comparison listen to Glenn Miller and Ray Eberle from about the same period.

Especially, Stairway to the Stars, A Handful of Stars or Along the Santa Fe Trail. Even better in my view and that's a pretty big call.

[wannnagback]

I wish I around then too!! the music, the romance, the respect, the mystery, just soooo much better than now!! ~,3

[trjordan]

AWWWWW YEAH!

[aMirzaie]

I wish I could have been born in the old days, everything was so much better back then. Music, love, simplicity.

[billieholiday42]

where can I get the instrumental to this song?

[billieholiday42]

This is music!

[brownboy215]

ugh...i'd kill to be able to find a way to travel back to the first half of the 20th century...

[BMD101]

Like this a lot,

The version on Sinatra's 'Point of No Return' is better....

[jenn1ifer]

just like billy holiday but more upbeat and swing

[CarGuyZM10]

This and the Jimmy Durante version are the best two versions of this song!

[jojojo943]

@CarGuyZM10

I'd put Jo Stafford right there too.

[guitargirl369]

why can't music today be this amazing?

[TheMuddyRiver]

@guitargirl369

It's playing right now, right here. That's today!! Enjoy!

[vin332010z]

@guitargirl369 Because we emancipated an element that has now infiltrated what could have been the better new world.

[TheRagump]

@guitargirl369 Oh, I agree. I was born back in 1959 but love the music of the 30's and 40's.

[rkscuba210]

@guitargirl369 i may be from the NOW generation, but even i can understand what you mean. i feel the same way (;

[talochIV]

@guitargirl369 Because The Greatest Generation didn't get this stuff for nothing. They EARNED it. So cn we. This is still America and we've got at least as much to work with as they did. If we DON'T,. it's OUR ASS.

[eclipse245]

@guitargirl369 because society progresses through different eras if you haven't noticed.

[FaceyFaceFaceTV]

@guitargirl369 No idea, you think with the new technology invented since then we would be making music 10 times better than this by now, but I guess oppinions change along with what makes people buy music... unfortunately.

[guillitooo]

@guitargirl369 because they dont dont know how amazing it can be

[celebnar222]

@guitargirl369 you're just not looking in the right places! there's always good music, you just have to look harder to find it in some decades. The radio isn't all there is, thank god...

[AliG4life]

@guitargirl369 Because you still have your nostalgia glasses on.

[TheCndhe]

i was born in the wrong time period. no fair :(

[ZaneIsBored]

Tommy Dorsey is truly a master at the craft of Trombone playing and Frank Sinatra's voice is pure as snow. An Amazing Combo

[AMoonlitAngel]

at fifteen, i love stuff like this, the good old music, like billie holiday, bing crosby, check out my page! there's a lot of different typed there.

[99yearoldfreak]
