Frank Sinatra - The Impossible Dream (Reprise 66)

[Ironsouled]

It is quite nice, but, I have to say I prefer a more broadway/operatic sound. Even so, it's a great song performed by a great singer.

[MelquisLord]

New song

[resident4thunder]

This song really gives me a western vibe. It reminds me of Ennio Morricone's music for The Man with No Name trilogy.



[DyabolykhaN]

You must be mad to dislike Sinatra`s songs.

[jbdanfan]

Frank got some heat for not going for the high note at the end. But it's the last note that's the essence of Sinatra. Listen to how clearly pronounced the "s" is at the end. Instead of letting the last note trail off into the sunset, he ended with flourish. Frank was such a master of the breath that he could concentrate on the emotion of songs instead of worrying about where the air was coming from. So many have learned from him, so many more NEED to learn from him.

[brynnjarvis080]

ive been searching for this for so long! So glad i found it, ol blue eyes all the way!

[marcela21884]

Such a beautiful song, such a wonderful play. Every GOOD singer has sung it, and it always sounds terrific. Thank you Ford4312

[jepleure]

OMG...this gave me goosebumps. A gorgeous man with golden pipes...Shame they don't make them like Mr. Sinatra anymore...

[PeopleNeed2LoveMore]

My husband is dying of Lou Gehrig disease, this song is everything he is, his battle, his strength, love this song, powerful, true, for all people who battle and face death and still reach for the stars !!

[RichyBMelodies]

Damn, never knew Sinatra did this song.

Williams was good but you can't beat Sinatra.

No no.

[jwandresl]

TO DIE... PROBABLY SO. BUT NOT FOR THE ISSUES OF THIS DYING WORLD.

[edantolin1]

brilliant frank sinatra

[clivemainwaring]

I have the total collection of all of Blue eyes on Capitol, this is my first time hearing him sing this beautiful song.

What can one say, Sheer brilliance phrasing perfection after all it is Francis Albert Sinatra The one and only Voice.sleep warm Frank Clive & Pamela.

[mari01500]

This song give me goosebumps sing we started sing in my choir, this song is my favorite song ever my choir had sang!!

[chrisvinante]

GUYS I M NOT SURE THAT IS SINATRA!!!!

[palomairiart]

Awh... Amazing!!! Thanks for posting!



[RibeiroRafinha]

Como Sinatra não tem outro....

Gostei muito

[MsLifesize]

Definitely my favorite version, besides the choir version. But it would be even more beautiful if he'd sing the version that says: "To be willing to march into hell for a heavenly cause." Cause that is defintely the most meaningfull part of the whole song.

[Dreamer83900]

[NothingnessLove]

Great Song! Great Voice!

[personalbjw]

not as good as elvises version but you can expect that franf talks a lot in his songs does not sing like the king i think he was always a little jealous of him being no1 i do like some of sinatras songs

[TheBdl1978]

best defensive player i've ever seen in football period

[TdPgody]

This is f***ing great !! Even i still prefer Jacques Brel's one, Sinatra's is my second favorite, no doubt :)

[michaelflorida56]

thankyou god for letting 20,000 children starve to death each day in your wonderful creation

[raul6503]

@michaelflorida56 Let God aside. What are YOU doing to save ONE child out of these 20,000 ??

[MultiProffessor]

Frank Sinatra the most talented singer of our day try to hold a note like he do he sang like a musian plays and we can only thank Tommy Dorsey for his phrasing with his songs. He was the best there was and the best there ever will be

[ChicoBlancoFilms]

type in "The Harrison House Trailer" on youtube, and watch that

it really is dreaming the impossible dream, and fighting the unbeatable foe.

it's a 600 dollar budget film that is set to rock this world

[DerekWilliamsMusic]

Frank at his best!

[yay1234567100]

Great version!!Love Frank!My favorite singer!

But my favorite version is Gordon Macrae's.

[1977hmdv]

Frank and Elvis have the most beautiful voices of all time.

[TheKenTerry]

To be better far than you are. Where are they getting this quote? It's "To love pure and chaste from afar"...why take out that beautiful quote?

[ubuntuozo]

@TheKenTerry 'cause she fucked the hell out of all the girls she exchanged glances.

[TheKenTerry]

@ubuntuozo

....what?

[nextitcomp]

3 people don't have a star...

[chazmcneill]

to follow that star ( i.e. Transcendent Self : ) ?

[aaaaanitaaaaa]

car iliti KING

[BondOFlames]

I'm pretty sure there was a movie with a song including this song...but wich one could it be...does anyone know?

[alyonam]

@BondOFlames

It is from "Man from La Mancha" movie and musical.

[silrosm]

@alyonam is it a Sinatra´s movie?

thanks!

[alyonam]

@silrosm No, it isn't.

[sirseansy]

at about 1:16 it breaks off from the real lyrics and substitutes new ones so (i assume this is the reason) frank didn't have to say the word "Hell". although im sure he would have if the word was still in the music.

[nehovaa]

Frank, may your mother rest in peace. Her womb was blessed to have had you. Oh you may rest too! Hope you are singing with angels.

[MegaMegaAce]

WOW....This Gets me up every time I Fall....i Love this Song...

[Richard40171]

One forgets that Sinatra could not only SING but had PIPES. This is one of his most awesome performances. The vocal artistry is amazing. I have no idea what VienneseDelights means! How can someone pacing the song like this be singing it for the first time? Every syllable is enunciated; every change of vocal timbre is carefully calculated.

[417midget]

originally in Don Quixote...

[VienneseDelights]

Usually Sinatra sings everything the way you feel it should be. But this is weak. This sounds like his tried the song for the very first time. And if you compare this to Elvis´ version of the song you exactly know HOW weak Sinatra´s performance is.

[AstinTheDawg]

@VienneseDelights I don't know how intentional it may be, but I quite like the fact he seems to strugle while singing the chorus. Somehow makes it seem more of an effort, more powerful. I do believe that Andy Williams does the best version. You know this is a truly awesome song when they had an hour long Radio 4 feature dedicated to this very song.

[Zecalran]

@VienneseDelights but his version is pretty good too my friend! :) be blessed it's a great song!

[MrDevin1125]

forget the beetles, sinatra, dean martin, and sammy davis jr. were really the ones bigger than jesus. that being said, i perfer jim nabors' version over this one, but it is a VERY close second.

[BadGirlOfAutism]

This man's voice is stunning. I love him. Thank you for the music Mr Sinatra.

[eyestillbelieve]

Thank you God for creating Frank Sinatra and for sharing him with all of us xxxooo

[AryanKnight]

ThankYou for FrankSinatra's rendition of 'Impossible Dream'; -while JackJones also belted it, both versions fall-short compared to Matt'Monro's stirring performance in one regard; had FS & JJ begun perhaps half-octave lower, they could have thus made that more glorious full-octave higher reach for that unreachable 'star' last-note, to knock it out of the ballpark! Same flaw in both FS's & JJ's great deliveries, -musical-dir. did not force them to 'reach' in keeping with the theme as did MM...!!!

[coolspindrift]

Dear @AryanKnight You should also listen to Johnny Mathis's version........out of the ballpark!

[AryanKnight]

@coolspindrift --very pretty, i still like JJ's & MM's renditions better than FS's, but wait there's still more, --for here is JJ's dad AllanJones belting "Impossible Dream" as he did on stage playing the part of the 'Man' and goes for the Star which JJ fell short of---> [ Allan Jones on the Jack Jones Show ] (highlight and paste in Utubes's above website search-box). The entire video is an absolute delight, --now we know where Jack got his great sense of humor and showbiz-timing...!!!

[TonyMaximMuscles]

Perhaps my favorite Sinatra tune of them all. SO powerful!!!

[takedown11510]

When you have a difficult task or suffer some terrible event, listen to this and you will rise to the occasion. My eyes still get wet when i hear it.

[bobsterukuk]

simply.... wonderful

[koreansushininja]

This is awesome, but to be perfectly honest, I like Elvis's version better, but this is still an amazing song

[JadeTomZ]

@koreansushininja thats because you like weak singing.

[writersblock99]

...One of my personal heroes singing one of my favorite songs. How have I never found this before? >.<
