Frank Sinatra - It was a very good year

Originally recorded by The Kingston Trio in 1961. It was this recording
that influenced Frank Sinatra to want want to record his version which became
the most popular version.

When I was seventeen
It was a very good year
It was a very good year for small town girls
And soft summer nights
Wed hide from the lights
On the village green
When I was seventeen

When I was twenty-one
It was a very good year
It was a very good year for city girls
Who lived up the stair
With all that perfumed hair
And it came undone
When I was twenty-one

When I was thirty-five
It was a very good year
It was a very good year for blue-blooded girls
Of independent means
Wed ride in limousines
Their chauffeurs would drive
When I was thirty-five

But now the days grow short
Im in the autumn of the year
And now I think of my life as vintage wine
from fine old kegs
from the brim to the dregs
And it poured sweet and clear
It was a very good year

Frank OWNS this. All other versions deleted.

ok, I'm confused. This sounded like Frank to me, am I missing something? If this isn't then it is VERY well done.

Hi Eddie - Nice Job ! ! ! But always remember to pay close attention to what made Sinatra - Sinatra - and that would be his phrasing. So my advice would be to phrase a bit more like Frank and your rendition will be that much better for it - unless of course you were intentionally trying not to sound like Frank and to sound like you - then - ignore what I just said - anyway - well done ! ! !
