Yep. His voice is so smooth you can cut it with a knife, having a quality and charisma that spans generations. It's hard to put into words. It's not readily recognizable, or "signature" like Dean Martin, but reaches out like no other to everybody.
Frank Sinatra was, and always will be, one of the greatest singers to have ever lived. He touched so many people, and his voice will always be recognizable in music history. Rest easy, Frank Sinatra. You touched the world...your way.
I'm 80-years-old and I STILL remember vividly, my mother dragging me by the hand to the Roxy/Paramount theaters in NY to hear Sinatra sing. I think that that's when I fell in love with him!!!!
@@scxtterblitz That's not a very nice thing to say. Do you think that 80 year old people are totally inept & senile? I'll have you know that l am also 80 years old, & l still have all my mental faculties. AND l can type you under the table (so to speak). What's more, you had better not call ME a liar!!

Your grammar leaves a lot to be desired, so be very careful before you criticize someone else and call them a liar.
One of my biggest regrets is that when I lived in Vegas I never got to see Mr. Sinatra perform live. I was busy with high school and then I moved away to San Francisco in 1970, one of the biggest mistakes of my life. I loved the old Las Vegas. But we met because my Mother and the late Totie Fields were in the Riviera Coffee Shop and Mr. Sinatra started calling me The Kid and I always called him Mr. Sinatra. He was very kind to me during the time I lived there. I miss him a lot and have dozens of his cds and was glad we got to be friends.
ha Ha yeah San Francisco sucks. Went to school there in the 80's and it sucked than. At least we didn't have human waste in all forms on the streets than. Live in Vegas now. Not what it was as in old vegas, but it still beats the hell out of that creepy SF. And at 20 per cent of the housing costs. By the way we're stealing/have stolen one of your football teams for good measure.
@@edmundmcgrath213 Not MY team. I am from Pittsburgh originally and post videos on You Tube as George Senda - The Guy From Pittsburgh. ( NOT my impostor ). I am a Steelers fan. = I feel sorry for Raiders fans. They are insanely loyal to the Raiders but the Raiders ownership keeps screwing them over and that's so very wrong. And I lived in San Francisco on and off from 1964-1980 and then for a year in 1990. It was a wonderful place to live but started to go to hell as crack came on the scene and insane liberals took over city hall and the House seats and turned the city into a Socialist hellhole where no one can afford to live, instead of the beloved city it once was.
@@rickm7839 Rick, grow up and go back to school and at least finish grade school. You have to go back a few decades when all this about Frank came out. Running money for the mob is a well-known story and thinking he was a tough guy. All this take to much time for me. Look it up yourself.
CaptainArt777 hey why do you have to be such an asshole, so a persons dad like frank Sinatra music, that's his right. Take a fucking walk and butt out. You identify with stupid.
"The only thing that you owe to public is the good performance" - words that a lot of people in entertainment business should hear just about now. Frank lives on through his music and lives he touched, shame I never got a chance to hear him live.
My intro to Frank was my mom. Those memories of Sinatra singing Christmas carols in the mornings. She'd play his Christmas music through the holidays. Those memories are so warm, that to this very day, 55 years later - I'll be listening to Frank's Jingle Bells, in the middle of summer.
Hello. I love his voice and I love all his songs. I couldn't afford to go see him in person I was too poor and then years later he came to the majestic theater and I still couldn't afford to go see him
I had the privilege of seeing Mr. Sinatra at Symphony Hall in Boston in 1986. When he sang Summer Winds I had to close my eyes because the moment was so incredible.... so magical! There will never be anyone that even comes close to Frank Sinatra.....❤️
I was there, too! As well as 20X at Desert Inn at 'ringside' table in Vegas & half-a-dozen other X in Boston, in Atlantic City, & somewhere in the mid-west. It still wasn't enough & he was always a gentleman & took pictures w/me in Vegas. I feel so fortunate...
He will never be forgotten, he will never be abandoned, he will never be left behind, but he will be remembered for all of his songs filled with real passion and honesty. He is and will always be a true artist. One of a kind. A man of his own music, of his own talents, and of his own heart. Frank, we will never forget you and what you did. You truly did it, your way. A way that can never be performed by anybody, but yourself. An artist that no one can best. You truly are The Voice. Have a good day everyone, and I hope that you are all doing well.
Love and will always love Mr. Sinatra. A voice like no other. I have loved this man since I was 6 years old. Now I’m 39 and still love that remarkable voice and miss that, class,style that was MR.S.
Although a lot of singers covered his songs, there is definitely nothing better than his voice. That's why people all over the world continue listening to his songs.
It was a very dark day when Mr. Sinatra passed, all I could think about was why I NEVER saw him live. RIP Chairman Of THE BOARD You are sincerely missed
Frank's last words (apparently, and I believe it) was when his nurse heard him say ''I'm losing it'' in his final moments of trying to stay alive in hospital. Sounds true that Frank would say that to let us all know he tried to the end to stay with us all as long as he could. One of only a handful of entertainers that will remain with us all for a century or two.
My Dad (1929-2014) and my Mom (1931-2007) loved this guy. Just listening to him reminds me of them and when I was a kid. I sure miss them both so much. No matter how old you are when you lose a parent there will be a little child buried deep inside that lost your mom/dad.
The night we heard the news that Frank had died, the old girl and I got drunk and sang Frank's hits at the top of our voices. The following day, the neighbours thanked us for the concert. They loved Frankie as much as we did.
Brought up with Frank sinatra thanks to my parents. My father passed away a year ago and even tho at his funeral my way wasn't played, I thought that would have been befitting of his 92 years of life. Thanks dad for bringing Frank Sinatra's songs to our lives. He was a legend, you'll never get anyone like Frank again may he rest in peace.
Precious Baby Doll he certainly was ! His performance in Manchuria Candidate was also brilliant ! There was a scene on a train he had with Janet Leigh , it was so real !
I grew up listening to Old Blue Eyes’ music, my mother thought he was the greatest singer of the 20th century and played his music all the time. He certainly had his ups and downs, personally and professionally, but Frank will never be surpassed as a singer. My mother died a few months ago and I like to think she’s finally seeing her idol in person.
Frank Sinatra was not of my time, but his Christmas album has been a part of the holidays for as long as I can remember. He may be gone, but his music will never die🖤
Absolutely, and I'd wager that Sinatra is one of the few who will still be listened to for the next 50 years, as he gets new fans all the time! Maybe even into next century, if this planet is still around!
Why do the truly great musicians have to go off and leave us? We have lost so many remarkable artists in the last 20+ years, truly a tragedy, but thank goodness they left us with their recordings and live performances, taped, so that we can never forget them. Out of all of them, there are a very few who are still very popular with their records, and taped performances, so they will never really leave us, we're thankful for that.
Yes, Sinatra paved the way for Sammy, even INSISTED that if Sammy couldn't perform, he wouldn't either. JFK's inaugural omitted many, for many reasons, none of which matter anymore. But JKF made sure all the women he wanted were there, he was the worst womanizing, unfaithful husband in Presidential history!
I agree somewhat about those doors, but in fairness, you havto give credit where it's due: Sammy Davis Jnr's still unrivaled talent, plus his beautiful, generous, shining glorious nice guy personality was a major factor!!! Though I do acknowledge the fact that Frank said something along the lines of "No Sammy, then No Frank, or the rest of us either, and he WON'T be using any back doors either. Fair play to them all: Frank, Sammy, Dean, Joey and, last but not least, poor, unfortunate Peter [the way in which he was used, abused, chewed up and spat out ALL HIS LIFE: firstly by his mother; then the Kennedy's -although im usually had a fan of theirs, especially RFK & JFK- apart from that; then Frank had him virtually blacklisted, because of a promise broken by JFK, & Frank "shot the messanger"; then by his ex nieces and nephews after Pat K was done with him; he died as he lived(albeit for the brief respite of those few glorious years of the ratpack) Alone, flat broke and abandoned by those who should've loved him... Very sad indeed]... They all had a LOT of talent; the kind of innocent hilarity seldom seen today, apart from the likes of Robin Williams RIP RIP TO THEM ALL. HEAVEN MUST BE SOME CRAIC!!!
My mom introduced me to him. When I was in my mid teens she would play his music daily. Without realizing it I found myself not just listening but starting to realize how great he delivered each song. Well I’m now 79 and Still listen to him as often as possible. I think one of the greatest gifts my mom gave me was turning me onto the greatest interpreter of songs ever.
@@lydianicolls255 - no one could knock Frank out of the scene. He was getting older and Elvis was young and appealing to the younger fans. Same goes for Elvis. Many fans say the Beatles kicked Elvis out. Not true either. Sinatra is still revered today by millions. So is Elvis and the Beatles. Three iconic singers that we are fortunate enough have appreciated.
I saw FS at MSG, one of his last performances, and Edie Gormet was with him. Apparently at this point in his life he needed another on stage with him, as she practically led him around the stage by hand. Despite four teleprompters above the square stage, that he could see whichever way he turned, he missed lyrics, and came in at the wrong time after band riffs. It was great seeing him for the 4th time, yet it was sad seeing him like this. The people close to him should have somehow prevented those appearances from happening, yet I guess you never tell FS what to do.
Two weeks before Sinatras death, I borrowed from my uncle his Sinatra Duets albums, and I listened to them over and over again. So when Sinatra did die unexpectedly in 1997, I knew all his main songs. Its almost like I had a premonition of it all, with the timing.
One of my favorite albums is titled “Francis A. and Edward K.” that he recorded in 1968 with Duke Ellington. The collaboration was sheer magic. Although I never met Sinatra, I did have the pleasure of meeting Ellington after a performance in Nashville, just a year before he passed away. He was a remarkable gentleman.
Every account of I've read says the recording session was a near disaster. Ellington's band, most of whom didn't read music, came in unprepared and not knowing Billy May's arrangements. That lead to a decision to drop most of the new songs and to play most of the songs at slow tempos. What stopped it from being a disaster was the "sheer magic" of having Sinatra, Duke Ellington, and Billy May in the room to set things straight. I think the album is uneven, but that'll happen when you've gotten used to Sinatra's work with his favourite group, Count Basie and his Orchestra. My personal feeling is that Sinatra felt an album with Ellington would be just as good.
I will never forget the night when my husband cried over the news of Frank's death. My Herbie sang Frank's ballads throughout our marriage. When Herb died on 12/12/20 I envisioned Frank welcoming Herb to come on stage and join him for a birthday bash. I subscribed to Siiriusly Sinatra that night and have never turned it off.
During his life, Frank helped raise over $1 billion for various charities. He did so much anonymously. After his passing, more stories surfaced about his profound generosity.
Frank Sinatra nobody will ever get to his pure genius as a entertainer and a man who could sing any song a legend who will never be forgotten as actor and brilliant singer
It's also worth mentioning that Sinatra was a life long friend of Judy Garland and helped her family out finically when she passed away. Not only was Sinatra one of the most iconic singers and performers of the 20th century, he was a true New York gentlemen. RIP Frankie
He left us with so many thousands of musical memories, enough to share with any one of his millions of admirers and fans. Thank you, Mr Sinatra. Thank you for a lifetime' s stack of songs, shows and films. We are truly blessed and you blessed us all.
My favorite singer. The voice. He could things with a lyric that no one could do. Listen to him sing. And pay attention to the timing and the nuance of each word. Magic.
Love sinatra, he shaped my life for the better love his music, films and especially his dress style, to this day I copy is style, sharp and well dressed.
there will never ever be another blue eyes or chairman of the board he is the bar for some to pass as of yet there is no one close to the original rip my friend you will never be forgotten you always lift my spirit and take me to that special just me in the audience watching you perform alone on the stage please don't ever lower the curtain down!
He was the musical voice of the 20th Century because there was no America Got Talent, no American Idol, The voice, etc, back in those days. I'm sure there was hundreds of talented people with amazing voices but they were never discovered.
@@250rapid You may be sure of that but in the absence of said voice, I disagree with your opinion. Remember long before television was king, radio was. There were many talent competitions. Also, night clubs were huge and singers were in high demand. There is simply no proof to back your certainty.
Frank was incredibly generous to the every day people he met in his life. He will live on forever in his glorious music. Every Sunday I listen to the Frank Sinatra hour at 8pm (The Bing Crosby hour at 7pm) on my local Jazz station.
He was probably the greatest talent of the 20th century, and we miss him for sure, but we have great recordings to listen to and remember him by so that we will never forget him. As a musician, I can find little errors or off-pitch notes or phrasing incorrectness in the performances of many, but Sinatra was a perfectionist, he spent a LOT of time on the song outside the studio, so that when he recorded, few takes were required. On the other hand, he could hear and pinpoint a rare "sour note" in the orchestra and nicely correct it. A rare artist who had some of the best arrangers and orchestras because people liked working with the best!
Frank was the Greatest. What a Voice, WOW zzzzer , 🎙️🎼🎶, I can't tell you how many times I'm singing in the shower🚿 this guy songs, Plus he was a great Actor in the movies also. thanks for sharing 👍🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆
I do not care what anyone says, Frank Sinatra is a legend and an icon. I was a kid in the 80s, bought 'New York, New York' by mistake, I loved the record cover, I have been a fan ever since.
Tony Roma , Robin and the 7 hoods , Ocean's 11 the original , From Here to Eternity , the Young Lions , 4 for Texas . There's several more movies BUT I'm lucky that I remembered these .
From the late 30's through the mid 90's, Frank Sinatra never failed to entertain us. One of my favorite memories of him was when his song "Love and marriage" was used as the theme song to the show "Married, with children." It was one of many hits he had, but it kept him on the map. The swag he had was legendary, as was his voice. It sucks knowing that no matter what he did to take care of himself, or to do harm to himself, in the end, his own body turned its back on him, another great man, lost to dementia.
His age does matter.. you barely come across people from my generation and later who truly like the style and music of the 50's and 60's.. there's a lot we can learn from them like "manners"?
THE MOST FANTASTIC SINGER, ENTERTAINER,......HANDSOME PERFECTION. THERE WILL NEVER BE ANOTHER LIKE HIM. HE WAS THE BEST, AND THERE WILL NEVER BE ANY BETTER. I CRY ALL THESE YEARS LATER WHEN I HEAR HIM.
Mr. Sinatra's voice when you hear it the 1st time it's like you've heard it a 1000 times he just brings you home.
Long as its not back to Sam Giancana's house.....
@@degsbabe Let's not be nasty.
@@jansdoe6963Nasty? OK Jans. Lets leave iit to the dead....
Yep. His voice is so smooth you can cut it with a knife, having a quality and charisma that spans generations. It's hard to put into words. It's not readily recognizable, or "signature" like Dean Martin, but reaches out like no other to everybody.
@@degsbabe Hey! It's an artist's voice and its beauty that we're discussing, not his particular behaviour.
Frank Sinatra was, and always will be, one of the greatest singers to have ever lived. He touched so many people, and his voice will always be recognizable in music history. Rest easy, Frank Sinatra. You touched the world...your way.
20 years later, his star still shines.
True legends like Frank live on forever, even in death.
So does the Beatles and Elvis

A way that can never be performed by anybody, but yourself. An artist that no one can best. You truly are The Voice. Have a good day everyone, and I hope that you are all doing well.

Frank Changed History and Opened Up Many Doors that were Closed In Las Vegas . One was for Sammy Davis Jr.
But Sammy was specifically UNINVITED to JFK's Inaugural. Sinatra & JFK bent over for Southern Democrats, called Dixiecrats.

They all had a LOT of talent; the kind of innocent hilarity seldom seen today, apart from the likes of Robin Williams RIP
RIP TO THEM ALL. HEAVEN MUST BE SOME CRAIC!!!

That's why you are what and where you are.
Best guy in the world, discovered him when I was 16 yrs old, still like him aftre hes gone, all the greats are leaving us, including the movie stars.
My mom introduced me to him. When I was in my mid teens she would play his music daily. Without realizing it I found myself not just listening but starting to realize how great he delivered each song. Well I’m now 79 and Still listen to him as often as possible. I think one of the greatest gifts my mom gave me was turning me onto the greatest interpreter of songs ever.
He was great until Elvis came on the scene
@@lydianicolls255 - no one could knock Frank out of the scene. He was getting older and Elvis was young and appealing to the younger fans.
Same goes for Elvis. Many fans say the Beatles kicked Elvis out. Not true either.
Sinatra is still revered today by millions. So is Elvis and the Beatles. Three iconic singers that we are fortunate enough have appreciated.
Saw Frank at Jones Hall in Houston, Sammy at Bally’s in Vegas, but never got to see Dino, which I still regret.. the 3 kings of Las Vegas....
I saw FS at MSG, one of his last performances, and Edie Gormet was with him. Apparently at this point in his life he needed another on stage with him, as she practically led him around the stage by hand. Despite four teleprompters above the square stage, that he could see whichever way he turned, he missed lyrics, and came in at the wrong time after band riffs. It was great seeing him for the 4th time, yet it was sad seeing him like this. The people close to him should have somehow prevented those appearances from happening, yet I guess you never tell FS what to do.
Sometimes You Only Realise The True Value Of A Moment...When It Becomes A Memory.
Great words Gary. It sums up so much of my life.
3:33 His singing, and his expressions are at the highest peak. Love it!
What song is it? The tune sounds great
@@corat248 ive got you under my skin
When I was 25 back in 86 or 87 i saw Frank at the Tacoma Dome. It was pretty cool.
My grandfather loved Frank Sinatra.My grandmother played My Way at his funeral.And he definitely did his way.RIP Curtis Cunningham.
Two weeks before Sinatras death, I borrowed from my uncle his Sinatra Duets albums, and I listened to them over and over again. So when Sinatra did die unexpectedly in 1997, I knew all his main songs. Its almost like I had a premonition of it all, with the timing.
One of my favorite albums is titled “Francis A. and Edward K.” that he recorded in 1968 with Duke Ellington. The collaboration was sheer magic. Although I never met Sinatra, I did have the pleasure of meeting Ellington after a performance in Nashville, just a year before he passed away. He was a remarkable gentleman.
Every account of I've read says the recording session was a near disaster. Ellington's band, most of whom didn't read music, came in unprepared and not knowing Billy May's arrangements. That lead to a decision to drop most of the new songs and to play most of the songs at slow tempos.
What stopped it from being a disaster was the "sheer magic" of having Sinatra, Duke Ellington, and Billy May in the room to set things straight. I think the album is uneven, but that'll happen when you've gotten used to Sinatra's work with his favourite group, Count Basie and his Orchestra. My personal feeling is that Sinatra felt an album with Ellington would be just as good.
He's humanist!
Rest In Peace Old Blue Eyes (1915-1998)
GENIUS! Everything he touched - he gave his ALL!
I will never forget the night when my husband cried over the news of Frank's death. My Herbie sang Frank's ballads throughout our marriage. When Herb died on 12/12/20 I envisioned Frank welcoming Herb to come on stage and join him for a birthday bash. I subscribed to Siiriusly Sinatra that night and have never turned it off.
I loved listing to Frank Sinatra.his voice was so smooth when he sang i still listen to his songs RIP
During his life, Frank helped raise over $1 billion for various charities. He did so much anonymously. After his passing, more stories surfaced about his profound generosity.
When I was a teenager it was sissified for us guys to admit Frank was their favorite but in time that all changed. Boy did it .
Just the best and sadly missed, never be another like him,his music will out live us all 😢❤️❤️
FRANK SINATRA 👒 WAS #1 AND ALWAYS WILL BE #1 I ❤️ HIS SONGS 🎵 🎶 HE WAS THE VOICE HE WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN RIP OL BLUE💙 EYES!✝️🥃
Frank Sinatra nobody will ever get to his pure genius as a entertainer and a man who could sing any song a legend who will never be forgotten as actor and brilliant singer
I felt very sad when i heard the news of his death, he was my favourite singer,simply the best
It's also worth mentioning that Sinatra was a life long friend of Judy Garland and helped her family out finically when she passed away. Not only was Sinatra one of the most iconic singers and performers of the 20th century, he was a true New York gentlemen. RIP Frankie
Hence Liza called him uncle Frank.
The day the world came to a stop.
Sinatra's talent ranged across ballad singing to acting. His voice was a great gift.
He left us with so many thousands of musical memories, enough to share with any one of his millions of admirers and fans. Thank you, Mr Sinatra. Thank you for a lifetime' s stack of songs, shows and films. We are truly blessed and you blessed us all.
He was and still is The entertainer of the 20th century, in my opinion.
A true showman.
My favorite singer. The voice. He could things with a lyric that no one could do. Listen to him sing. And pay attention to the timing and the nuance of each word. Magic.
Love sinatra, he shaped my life for the better love his music, films and especially his dress style, to this day I copy is style, sharp and well dressed.
Such a sweetheart. His music brought so much joy. Larger than life.
there will never ever be another blue eyes or chairman of the board he is the bar for some to pass as of yet there is no one close to the original rip my friend you will never be forgotten you always lift my spirit and take me to that special just me in the audience watching you perform alone on the stage please don't ever lower the curtain down!
I liked frank Sinatra he was a good singer he was born the same year as my dad may they both Rest In Peace
For me, Sinatra was the musical voice of the 20th Century.
He was the musical voice of the 20th Century because there was no America Got Talent, no American Idol, The voice, etc, back in those days. I'm sure there was hundreds of talented people with amazing voices but they were never discovered.
@@250rapid You may be sure of that but in the absence of said voice, I disagree with your opinion. Remember long before television was king, radio was. There were many talent competitions. Also, night clubs were huge and singers were in high demand. There is simply no proof to back your certainty.
Frank was incredibly generous to the every day people he met in his life. He will live on forever in his glorious music. Every Sunday I listen to the Frank Sinatra hour at 8pm (The Bing Crosby hour at 7pm) on my local Jazz station.
I learned a lot listening to him! One of the best In enunciation!
He had his own style too!
Hello Sandy. How are you doing?
Frank Sinatra, a true Icon. The whole world will miss him.
2018 I still miss him. He was a Perfectionist, Entertainer, he gave 100% plus. RIP Frank. Still listening to you. Thank you.
He was probably the greatest talent of the 20th century, and we miss him for sure, but we have great recordings to listen to and remember him by so that we will never forget him.
As a musician, I can find little errors or off-pitch notes or phrasing incorrectness in the performances of many, but Sinatra was a perfectionist, he spent a LOT of time on the song outside the studio, so that when he recorded, few takes were required. On the other hand, he could hear and pinpoint a rare "sour note" in the orchestra and nicely correct it. A rare artist who had some of the best arrangers and orchestras because people liked working with the best!

My favorite singer.
I mourn the loss of my friend every day & every time I hear him sing.
He was always kind to me & called me The Kid.
Frank was the Greatest. What a Voice, WOW zzzzer , 🎙️🎼🎶, I can't tell you how many times I'm singing in the shower🚿 this guy songs, Plus he was a great Actor in the movies also. thanks for sharing 👍🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆
Loved Frankie. May he rest in peace... He was a legend who was a loyal friend.
No one can phrase a song like old Blue Eyes
I do not care what anyone says, Frank Sinatra is a legend and an icon. I was a kid in the 80s, bought 'New York, New York' by mistake, I loved the record cover, I have been a fan ever since.
Remember "From Here to Eternity"
He really had a fantastic voice.It really matured in the fifty’s.
The first singer -actor to win an Academy Award.
Bing Crosby: Best Actor in 1944 for "Going My Way."
Three Coins in a Fountain, we could not get enough of that song
Tony Roma , Robin and the 7 hoods , Ocean's 11 the original , From Here to Eternity , the Young Lions , 4 for Texas . There's several more movies BUT I'm lucky that I remembered these .
From the late 30's through the mid 90's, Frank Sinatra never failed to entertain us. One of my favorite memories of him was when his song "Love and marriage" was used as the theme song to the show "Married, with children." It was one of many hits he had, but it kept him on the map. The swag he had was legendary, as was his voice. It sucks knowing that no matter what he did to take care of himself, or to do harm to himself, in the end, his own body turned its back on him, another great man, lost to dementia.
I'm 16 and I love his songs!
Ernest Rafael Alberio why dose your age matter
@@joshuanelson1675 does
His age does matter.. you barely come across people from my generation and later who truly like the style and music of the 50's and 60's.. there's a lot we can learn from them like "manners"?
I'm 11 and I love old song like bohemian rhapsody, My way, love of my life, and more much more than this
@@sh4d0w09 congratulations
These guys were the best , if only we could turn back time and have these great entertainers with us !!!
One of the greatest entertainers in the world. Sinatra was so smooth & 😎 cool, I miss him. He could sing & act!!!
THE MOST FANTASTIC SINGER, ENTERTAINER,......HANDSOME PERFECTION. THERE WILL NEVER BE ANOTHER LIKE HIM. HE WAS THE BEST, AND THERE WILL NEVER BE ANY BETTER. I CRY ALL THESE YEARS LATER WHEN I HEAR HIM.
