  • Whilst Peter Dawson might have appreciated Frank's 'My Way' I doubt if he'd liked this - the musical arrangement's perhaps ok, the 'new' words are a bit sick considering the origins of this song. Mr Sinatra should have left this one alone.

  • @poetview It's great how this early 20th century traditional poem fits into song. Best rendered by Lawrence Tibbett or Peter Dawson.

    Sinatra, Frankie Laine & Bobby Darin should stick with their own niche and forget about singing this song. It's about a British soldier thinking about his lost love in Mandalay. and how dreary life in London is & how colourless the women are, compared to there

    Those singers would be clueless about such a person, what he knows and what he's been through

  • @BastardfromtheBush also if you listen to the opening words of the video ... it is to assum this recording relates to that 'Lyrics by Rudyard Kipling's poem' and "his sister objected to Sinatra's version' .... and no doubt Sinatra was singing the song in this manner (in Australia?) on purpose and out of anger of having the song disallowed on his record album .

  • @BastardfromtheBush for the same reason the Kipling family were said to have objected to this version of the song (thus 'butchering' Kiplings poem) and it certainly is easy to discover why ... no one needs to be 'broad' minded to ever wonder why this version was replaced on Sinatra's album by other songs due the content in that regard to changes to Kipling's words

  • Balls!

    This song isn't supposed to be sung this way. I wonder how he'll butcher 'Roses of Picardy'

    Ol' Blue Eyes should have stuck to his own genre.
