Frank Sinatra is a legend. One of the best best male vocals of all times. They called him "Old blues eyes" for his intense blues eyes. He was one of the GOATS. Thanks Greg for reacting to Frank.
Late 1960s release in later years of f his career. The best male vocalist for decades. I was privileged to see him in 1970s with a full orchestra. He was amazing! Love that you are listening to old Blue Eyes Greg!
He has many great hits spanning a career of over more than 50 years. The song was written by Paul Anka, an other great artist, who wrote it especially for him, but many other artist also have sang it. At one time Frank Sinatra called this song America´s second national anthem
My Dad idolized Frank and he played him on the stereo every Sunday until he passed. I grew up listening to Frank Sinatra. Didn't appreciate his talent until I was older.
Sinatra was one of the GREATS! He always enunciated his words so you never had to play back to understand what he said...My God, living in the Crooner era was amazing. My parents had Sinatra, Peri Como etc, playing allot..Just good music all the way around and the words really meant something! Thanks for reacting to Sinatra!
Now that you have heard Frank’s version, you need to watch Elvis’s version from his Aloha From Hawaii concert. I prefer Elvis’s version. Great reaction, Greg, as always!
A little correction on his last name -- it's Sin-Ah-Trah. The original is from a French song entitled "Comme d'habitude" and composed by Jacques Revaux, Gilles Thibaut & Claude François. The English version (My Way), was re-written by Paul Anka for Frank Sinatra. Anka changed the lyrics & slightly altered the melodic structure. The translation of "Comme d'habitude" literally means "as per usual" - about something that happens regularly or that isn't surprising & it has nothing to do w-Anka's re-written English version as we know it today. The video of the original French version w-English subtitles is on the internet by Claude Francois. Sinatra's daughter Nancy said that Sinatra did not like the song to the point of hating it. Sinatra said it was "self-serving" but performed it many times anyway. The one who did this song w-full emotion & power was Elvis.
This was a French song wrote and sang by Claude François. The name was " comme d'habitude" or "as usual". However lyrics were completely differents, French version is about fading love. Sinatra's version is more powerfull.
Couldn't believe my ears. Name is Si na tra. Old Blues, Chairman Of The Board were his nicknames. Also an actor. Won an Academy Award for supporting actor From Here To Eternity.Frank Sinatra's career spanned over 60 years, from the 1940s to the 1980s:
--------------- Elvis 1977 version scored higher, sold more, and charted highest, with most weeks on charts cumulative than anyone else ever, including Frank Sinatra's version. Elvis did an Amazing Feat with this song, it sold a million & charted all over the place: #1 on Cashbox Country Chart USA #6 Adult Contemp Chart USA #6 Ireland #9 UK Singles #22 Pop Chart USA #30 Netherlans Canada went Platinum sales UK went Silver sales USA went Gold sales $1m
Dean Martin, Sammy Davis Jr & Frank were "The Rat Pack" good drinking buddies & very talented. Paul Annk wrote this & many great songs. An entertainer also.
What is life without regrets? It's just a learning experience. Actually, what pretty cool is Seth MacFarlane is a huge Sinatra fan and has cut a couple of old school Rat-Pack albums. Bringing back the music like this from the 50's and 60's.
You are right! He had one of the best voices of all time. He passed away years ago. But you really need to dig into his library. Also,, dig into Sammy Davis Jr., Dean Martin, Joey Bishop and Peter Lawford’s music. They were known as the Rat Pack. That were all actors as well.
Every singer of his era had to deal with the mafia as they ran all the nightclubs and casinos. All unions in the country was controlled by the Mafia so even your common laborers had to deal with the mafia.
Frank actually didn't like this song - he thought it was too bragadocius. There's so much to learn about, and from, Frank. This was recorded in the the late 70s - 30 years into an amazing life and career.
Désolée ...mais my way n'est pas l'originale ! L'originale est française : comme d'habitude chante par claude François. Mais Franck Sinatra est un excellent chanteur ❤
Listen to Elvis Presley sing and then react to it to see which one is better. Elvis' version is way above 'old blue eyes'. More emotion, more soul, and better sung. Listen to Elvis sing it in his Hawaiian concert. The first concert projected around the world via satellite.
No Elvis don't Elvis just add his voice it is good but not as iconic and excellent as Frank the class and masculine voice is what makes Frank version legendary
Beautiful song👍👍

And Chairman of the board.
@@bella-xp7qd Yes! ☺
Frank is a Legend! Worth diving into his many many hits! Luck Be Lady, Fly Me to the Moon, New York New York, 3 of my favorites.

This song reminds of a friend- LW
Frank Si-na-tra. One of the greats. He was the leader of the Rat Pack back in the day. You will enjoy learning about him. Good reaction.
A beautiful song written by Paul Anka when Sinatra was going to retire from show business and it was such a big hit that he never retired
He was the OG, man.

And how about some applause for the big band playing too. Fantastic.
His live performance are also wonderful

One of Sinatra's nicknames was "the voice"
Maybe you would like to listen to his live version at Madison Square Gardens. Enjoy!!!

🤘🏽⚜️🤘🏽

Do yourself a favor and watch a live performance of Frank. Him, Dean Martin, and Sammy Davis Jr were great together or individually. Great reaction

Great reaction!! Now, go listen to the minor key version that Chase Holfelder does... SOOOO good!
Dean Martin, Sammy Davis Jr & Frank were "The Rat Pack" good drinking buddies & very talented. Paul Annk wrote this & many great songs. An entertainer also.
This song was first released in March 1969,it was written by Paul Anka another famous singer.

This song was written for him.
I don’t know about you, but this song actually has me crying
I love old blue eyes.
Elvis does this song very well too! Try it, you will be amazed!
He hung out with gangster , allegedly.
Every singer of his era had to deal with the mafia as they ran all the nightclubs and casinos. All unions in the country was controlled by the
Mafia so even your common laborers had to deal with the mafia.
If I am not wrong I think it comes out in 1969.
Frank was a giant who overcame plenty. 🍻
You are right when you think he is talking directly to you. That was the opinion of the late Kasey Kasem on a radio show many years ago.
Listen to Witchcraft and One for my Baby.
Frank actually didn't like this song - he thought it was too bragadocius.
There's so much to learn about, and from, Frank.
This was recorded in the the late 70s - 30 years into an amazing life and career.
And, you have got to listen to Tony Bennett!!!
I like Elvis version better., but this was his song. Considered on ofvgreat singers.

Frank does a beautiful Joonas this song but Elvis does it better
No Elvis don't Elvis just add his voice it is good but not as iconic and excellent as Frank the class and masculine voice is what makes Frank version legendary
He was part of the brat pack. Do some research, sit back and listen to unforgettable voices.
