When my wife and I realized we were the last generation to see Frank perform before his passing (along with the Rat Pack), we knew we had experienced something magical those after us will never see, feel, nor understand. What a guy. What a singer. What a performer.
Sinatra was god. He felt every word he sang. He was the pipe piper for all of us. He sang the Great American songbook, and made the songs his own. He sang to our hearts. There is nobody to touch him, and nobody ever will. Today's singers are nothing compared to Sinatra.
I believed every single lyric he sung here for this rendition of See The Show Again... he truly inhabited the character for four pure minutes with every inflection and emotional delivery.
I often wonder how Sinatra managed to find the time to accomplish so much: motion pictures, hundreds of recordings, performances on radio and TV, world tours and multiple other appearances. And then in addition to all of that, there was also Sinatra the producer, director, businessman, etc. Simply amazing. Sinatra has been criticized for his alledged connections to the mafia, his mercurial personality, etc.,but one thing is for certain: he was the consummate performer and the best of the best. He will live forever in our hearts.
I never appreciated the older Sinatra until I became older than he is in this recording. I am more aware of the talent, the presence and the cultural significance of him. Despite all the distractions, he was very dedicated to his craft.
This isn't even fair... Sinatra is the guest host, arrives and performs this as his opening monologue and absolutely slays it... Where do any of his guests that night go from there??? Incredible and what an ovation.
SINATRA - Maybe This Time (Live on Johnny Carson) Those were the days, my friend - we thought they'd never end - when Frank Sinatra would sing 'live' on 'The Tonight Show' - back when most every late night TV viewer in America (Canada too) was watching the same show! A phenomenon that united millions of us, in a special way, that's long gone with the wind. Permit an aside: I remember 'Mr. Guitar' Chet Atkins telling me, at the end of an interview in my hometown of Ottawa Canada in 1971, that most nights his wife would find him “asleep with a guitar in my lap, while watching Johnny Carson.” A rare gem of a video - shared by a favorite Facebook friend in England, Bill H. Not many of Johnny's “special guests” got a standing ovation, lasting a minute! The smile of joy that welcomes those waves of love from the studio audience: Frank - simply “happy to be me!” The opening song of a medley, MAYBE THIS TIME is one Frank loved to perform live, in Vegas. Composed by the Broadway team of “Kander & Ebb” for 'Cabaret' (the movie version) but destined for obscurity without a little help from its friends. It took fans in England to finally get a Wiki entry for the song (below). Oh yes, and one terrific arrangement - which The Tonight Show orchestra conveyed 'verbatim' as written by . . . I forget which arranger - Don Costa?. Where's a Wise Man (or Woman) when you need one? From Wikipedia "Maybe This Time" is a song written by John Kander and Fred Ebb for actress Kaye Ballard.[1][2] It was later included in the 1972 film Cabaret, where it is sung by the character Sally Bowles, played by Liza Minnelli. It had already been recorded and released twice, in similar arrangements, on Minnelli's debut studio album Liza! Liza! (1964), and subsequently New Feelin' (1970), but it turned into a traditional pop standard after its 1972 inclusion in Cabaret. Though originally written in 1964 for a different purpose, the song was put into the 1972 film version of the 1966 Cabaret musical.[3] This is one of two numbers that were added only in 1998 . . .” The Telegraph explained that the song should have an air of "desperate hope" and that Bowles should feel like "someone teetering on the edge of despair." The song has been described as a "wistful" [9] and "heartbreaking".[10] Lincolnshire Review described the song as a "soaring ballad",[11] and Peterborough Telegraph deemed it "hopeful".[12] Thanks for sharing 4andmore. Celebrated elsewhere this day [search] " Great Melody, Great Lyric, Great Rendition, Songwriting Workshop, Harmony Central "
I got to meet him two times when I was working with my group...He was so gracious and charming....He joined us and chatted for 10 minutes. As a singer he put me at ease. He was something beyond words.
Mr. Sinatra was at the height of his power at this time in his career. He experienced the absolute best that life has to offer. He was the best of the best and he knew how to handle it.
What stage presence he had . He put all.his emotion into every song he sang.thats why he was so different and better from all other singers then and now
One of the few singers of that time (including those now) to give credit to composers, arrangers and musicians. In all his concerts he always mentioned most of them. That is humility and gratitude, gestures very rarely seen in legends.
Two wonderful songs. The first foreshadowing the smash “New York, New York” by the same writers just two years later, while the second is deeply emotional and lovely-a real time capsule of feelings.
Frank...This Tonight Show is probably one of my favorites. You sing one of Barry Manilow's songs and I think you would be proud of him now as he was young then, but he has become a star in his own right. He took many of your things that you do and never wears anything but a black suit or tux after six. Thanks Frank. Wish you were still here with us. We miss you.......Betsy Basile
I appreciate the fact that I got to see Mr. Frank Sinatra three times live before he passed, and got to meet him once. Lucky me. The one and only Frank Sinatra ❤
They are far from being even close to his best tunes, but this is still utter greatness in a performance. An incomparable feel for the songs, with perfect pitch and phrasing that drew you in and held you in some kind of spell. Plus the vibrancy of the man - the subtlety and slight movements ooze class and sophistication. He took you somewhere with his performance, 'cos he made you feel he was singing just to you. It just doesn't get any better than this...….
Yes, I totally agree. Frank was in good voice that night and performed just the way you said he did - and indeed, he was everything you said he was. Everyone in the audience was fully aware, because it was Frank, this would be a night they would never forget. And he didn't disappoint them. FS was the very best of the very best.
Une étoile a traversé notre ciel et s'en est allée . Loin , très loin de nous à tout jamais et c'est une des plus grandes pertes que le monde de la chanson ait jamais connu . Que dire de plus ....que dire de mieux ? Frank Sinatra , mon vieil ami de jamais et de toujours , tu me manques énormément et comme d'habitude , à te revoir et à t'entendre , les larmes me viennent aux yeux ....Et aujourd'hui , à 80 ans , je peux te dire avec certitude que tu as été le responsable , tout au long de ma vie d'innombrables moments les plus inoubliables que l'ai vécu ! Et certainement , une des plus grandes tristesses que j'éprouverai quand viendra mon tour de quitter la scène d'un monde qui ne m'a jamais beaucoup enchanté , sera de savoir que je ne pourrai plus t'entendre chanter ........ Merci Frank , pour les milles cadeaux que tu m'as apportés .
I don't know who owns the rights to the actual recording in the NBC vaults, but some entity should re-master this beautiful performance for release on an album--both songs. Beautifully done.
I imagine they arrived at the studio for tickets for that night's show (or signed up in advance) and had no idea who the guests would be. They clearly won the Tonight Show lottery that day as evidenced by that ovation. So sweet!
Frank......I love it that you sing the young Barry Manilow's song. Thank you so much. I loved you too. Just a generation after you. You were such a performer. I wish you would still be here so you could do a duet with Barry. He admires you so much and did a whole album. Manilow sings Sinatra. I am still looking for a CD. We all miss you Frank..................................................Betsy Basile
From time to time I get a mad rush of blood and I think maybe there are other singers as good as Sinatra then i see him in performance and i know that there's no one anywhere near him. He internalizes the lyrics and tells you a story just one on one. then of course there is his sublime musicianship to round it all off.
Frank ..I love this video so much! The first song from Cabaret is super and of course you sing it perfectly. I also love the second song you sing from a young Barry Manilow. Thank you for doing that. It really reminded me of the "Saloon Songs" you loved to do. I wish you could be hear him in person as he is a star in his own right. You would be proud of him. You knew he had talent and he always sing the way you do, from the heart. And he love classy Jazz as much as you did. Love you Frank I am too young to remember you in you early days, but I am Barry's age 77 and he is 81. So I did see you twice in Philly and loved you............................We all miss you Frank. God Bless you for being such a great Entertainer....................Betsy Basile
Frank....I listen and watch this video every night. I love the way you do both of these songs. I wish you could still be here to tell you in person. I am a little too young to remember your music in the beginning , but I did get to see you in person twice in Philly at the Spectrum when it was still there. I was towards your retirement, but I loved it anyway.......................Betsy Basile
I was fortunate in that my father met Frank and his agent while he was visiting his aunt and uncle in North Jersey. They all met together probably in the 1940`s. That must be why I have his music in my blood. Its my way of life.
The name of this. Song is see the show again. What a great. Arrangement. For the. King. Frank Sinatra great. Job. Barry. I wish you I could. Sing. This. Great. Song for you I can sing I remember you from Jillys
This was November 14, 1977 when Sinatra was Guest Host on The Tonight Show. George Burns, Angie Dickinson, Carroll O'Connor, Don Rickles appeared and Sinatra was plugging his television movie Contract on Cherry Street
Frank.....I just love this one. You are so great and the Barry Manilow sounds like a page out of both your stories. Sometimes you both probably get weary and would love to have a rest. Frank I loved you and I was too young to see your early career, but I saw you twice in Philadelphia and I loved you.........................Really do miss you. Wish there were more of these videos.........Betsy B.
Frank.......I love this performance and especially as you sang one of Barry Manilow's, but then you knew he was going to be a star as you have all the experience. Thanks Frank and RIP...................................................Betsy B.
Frank...Love this video. The song from "Caberet" was great and I thank you for singing Barry's song. It is quite the compliment for you to say that about him. He always loved you, Frank and this song of yours sounds like one of the " Saloon Songs" Frank used to love so much. We all miss you Frank but still our love for you goes on..........................Betsy Basile
I hear he was offered “I Left my Heart in San Francisco” and when he heard it he thought it was better suited for Tony Bennett. A top hit and he gave it to another performer. Do t see much if that… and he was right - it was perfect for Tony…
The instrumentals in See The Show Again are so different and yet awesome. Frank was so fantastic in this appearance. Sometimes you forget about these gems in the later part of his career.
There are sev songs from Sinatra's original album, WATERTOWN , esp "I'd be in love, anyhow" -- I'd love to hear Kody Lee put up an arrangement. Lee has the ability to change a great if song to his own. Frank had the ability to take ANY piece of music and make it memorable; priceless.
Wow, what a treat to see Sinatra performing at a level that is seldom reached. This is not his best material, but he brings an authenticity and power to the songs that nobody else approaches, imho. Put simply, he is authentic, and although a flawed man, he was a magnificent artist and one of the finest singers who ever sang. Too bad Sinatra never recorded with Severinsen. Now that would have been a record!!
Frank........This is a great performance on the Tonight Show. I love it and sing it with you every night when I watch the video. Both songs are great songs. I wish you were still here so I could tell you in person. I still love you and Dean............................Betsy Basile
Like the finest bourbon, great aged wine, Michaelangelos and the likes you can’t get any better. He became the orchestra and the music and took you to a place you can’t go any other time.
When my wife and I realized we were the last generation to see Frank perform before his passing (along with the Rat Pack), we knew we had experienced something magical those after us will never see, feel, nor understand. What a guy. What a singer. What a performer.
Treasure those memories, we will never see his like again.
An irresistible combination of sex, power, romance, danger, and CLASS.
The band did a fantastic job accompanying Frank
That was the best group of jazz and studio musicians in the world at that time.
People loved him ----- people still do. He's the best we ever had. Rest his soul. Thanks Frank
I love this Man, his essence, Class, taste and his music. What a Man.
Yes. I agree
Sinatra was god. He felt every word he sang. He was the pipe piper for all of us. He sang the Great American songbook, and made the songs his own. He sang to our hearts. There is nobody to touch him, and nobody ever will. Today's singers are nothing compared to Sinatra.
Pied piper
I could listen to him day and night and never get tired of that voice
me too
Él es mágico!
Or “night and day” haha
Me too lol every day for hours x
I actually do...
I believed every single lyric he sung here for this rendition of See The Show Again... he truly inhabited the character for four pure minutes with every inflection and emotional delivery.
Why don't they write songs like this anymore
Frank Sinatra what an entertainer,
Paul Quinn saltcoats Ayrshire bonnie Scotland.
Always
Exactly. No wonder Sinatra was a great actor as well.
"See the Show Again" was written by Barry Manilow who will be THE MAN in our Era. Frank sings it just the was Barry does.
I often wonder how Sinatra managed to find the time to accomplish so much: motion pictures, hundreds of recordings, performances on radio and TV, world tours and multiple other appearances. And then in addition to all of that, there was also Sinatra the producer, director, businessman, etc. Simply amazing.

Muito bom espetacular
His voice got better with age.
This isn't even fair... Sinatra is the guest host, arrives and performs this as his opening monologue and absolutely slays it... Where do any of his guests that night go from there??? Incredible and what an ovation.
He was and still is the best that ever lived!!!
Grazie Giorgio per Frank, è sempre una carezza per l’anima !!! Giusi

So Very True . . .

Ernie Digiacomo you’re so right
You're dead right.
Two of my favorite performances by him are 1962 night and day, and three or four songs off, live at the Sands
What stage presence he had . He put all.his emotion into every song he sang.thats why he was so different and better from all other singers then and now
Yes
Try listening to Barry Manilow. He has sold 75 million albums and CD's, sings with emotion and at 80 years old is still performing. BB
Barry Manilow a fine artist for sure .
Sinatra was gracious in crediting the composers and arrangers.
One of the few singers of that time (including those now) to give credit to composers, arrangers and musicians. In all his concerts he always mentioned most of them. That is humility and gratitude, gestures very rarely seen in legends.
Two wonderful songs. The first foreshadowing the smash “New York, New York” by the same writers just two years later, while the second is deeply emotional and lovely-a real time capsule of feelings.
When frank sings the song he makes it like a movie in your minds eye

I’m 55, but I missed a generation, in 2019, Music in America is trash
So true. Nothing Vulgar.
Frank complements other artists all the time that’s why I Love Him so much . You don”t hear that today from other artists.
They are far from being even close to his best tunes, but this is still utter greatness in a performance.

You said it all -- informed, informative and a joy to read. To coin a song title, Who could ask for anything more?
As a singer he will always be nr. 1. When I was 16 or 17 I heard Come fly with me, I haven't touched the ground since.
When singers were singers and when the Tonight Show was a good show.
I wish I could see the show again... I sure miss you Frank!
GOD BLESS HIM 🙏 now singing for GOD
No one like Frank. Even in 1977 his voice was great. When Sinatra sings, he doesn't just sing the song. He IS the song. A master performer.
Always
I don't know who owns the rights to the actual recording in the NBC vaults, but some entity should re-master this beautiful performance for release on an album--both songs. Beautifully done.
What an ovation !!! Was it a surprise for that audience ? They reacted as if his appearance was unexpected.
I imagine they arrived at the studio for tickets for that night's show (or signed up in advance) and had no idea who the guests would be. They clearly won the Tonight Show lottery that day as evidenced by that ovation. So sweet!
When they give you a standing ovation even before you begin to sing!
Frank......I love it that you sing the young Barry Manilow's song. Thank you so much. I loved you too. Just a generation after you. You were such a performer. I wish you would still be here so you could do a duet with Barry. He admires you so much and did a whole album. Manilow sings Sinatra. I am still looking for a CD. We all miss you Frank..................................................Betsy Basile
Grabs at the heart. For me he did that better than any other performer.
Wow...he was something!! One of a kind.
Nobody better than Sinatra. That’s just the way it is.
FRANK SINATRA WAS BORN TO SING--THAT SIMPLE HE WAS THE VOICE!!!
He spoke like a mutant, sang like an emperor .
What a performance.......the late night Jimmies need to take a lesson from SINATRA.
From time to time I get a mad rush of blood and I think maybe there are other singers as good as Sinatra then i see him in performance and i know that there's no one anywhere near him. He internalizes the lyrics and tells you a story just one on one. then of course there is his sublime musicianship to round it all off.
I agree
The man’s voice was a Rembrandt and a Picasso!! The control of the voice, the phrasing, the pronunciation par excellent!!
when Sinatra had a performance coming up..that he wanted to be in shape for...he stopped smoking and stopped drinking for 3 days prior to the show
that’s nonsense. he used to drink and smoke through concerts
Love this Video !!!Frank is Himself here ! Charming and Lovely !!
Wish we had singers like Frank today.
There is none like him.
The more I hear his music the more I love him.
I love this his music is my life everyday I listen to Frank on Sirus xm
CENTURY"S VOICE!!!!!
Un Señor de la clasica musica norteamericana. Excelente su tono de voz unica.e inigualable. OCTUBRE 13 DEL 2024.❤❤❤
the moment he sings the word "know" at the end, "i don't even KNOW your name," he manages to choke himself up for the next few bars.
I've NEVER heard Sinatra hit a sour note. He's always been amazing to me. And I grew up on The Beatles and Hendrix.
I feel the same way. But Paul McCartney was the Frank of our generation.
I get a Kick,out of you!!!
The most emotive singer ever
Jaw dropping. Chills. The Voice. The Charisma. Civil Rights Warrior. Actor. Billion dollars raised for charity. I’m teary-eyed. Miss him. 🙏🏽❤️👍🏽

God Bless you for being such a great Entertainer....................Betsy Basile
The greatest male singer of the XX century.
I'm a "Diehard " fan of Sinatra 👏🏻 my first concert was in Forest Hills Stadium , New York with Count Bassie.. it was MAGICAL
Frank....I listen and watch this video every night. I love the way you do both of these songs. I wish you could still be here to tell you in person. I am a little too young to remember your music in the beginning , but I did get to see you in person twice in Philly at the Spectrum when it was still there. I was towards your retirement, but I loved it anyway.......................Betsy Basile
I was fortunate in that my father met Frank and his agent while he was visiting his aunt and uncle in North Jersey. They all met together probably in the 1940`s. That must be why I have his music in my blood. Its my way of life.
Jilly?
My father too.
Jersey
you can't go wrong with Frank.....the template for the Vegas style
At 6 you can see him tearing up, obviously this song meant something to him
I dont see any tears
Pat L Maybe you don’t know the man like a true fan does. Look again you can see his eyes are glassy
Exactly, he does this with every song ( I've noticed this with so many songs) and man I am crying too😭❤️
This was a man who although married still had a broken heart
@@3myway yes and it just breaks my heart 😭. He gave us so much joy through his songs yet he had a broken heart. ❤️
The name of this. Song is see the show again. What a great. Arrangement. For the. King. Frank Sinatra great. Job. Barry. I wish you I could. Sing. This. Great. Song for you I can sing I remember you from Jillys
This was November 14, 1977 when Sinatra was Guest Host on The Tonight Show. George Burns, Angie Dickinson, Carroll O'Connor, Don Rickles appeared and Sinatra was plugging his television movie Contract on Cherry Street
I saw him live with Sammy Davies Junior and Liza Minnelli The Ultimate Event I’m happy with my life that’s all
Wow how lucky are you to see 3 legends I'm so jealous
I got smiled at by him in London. I’ve been looked at by those blue eyes.
Sinatra was one of a kind
I get a kick out of his movements what an entertainer
Only one Frank , never ever be another you , rip ol blue eyes , ,xx
Frank.....I just love this one. You are so great and the Barry Manilow sounds like a page out of both your stories. Sometimes you both probably get weary and would love to have a rest. Frank I loved you and I was too young to see your early career, but I saw you twice in Philadelphia and I loved you.........................Really do miss you. Wish there were more of these videos.........Betsy B.
Sinatra simply was the best of the best!!
Frank.......I love this performance and especially as you sang one of Barry Manilow's, but then you knew he was going to be a star as you have all the experience. Thanks Frank and RIP...................................................Betsy B.
The greatest of them all
robert ellam,you meant to say sammy davis jr.was the greatest entertainer that ever lived.i forgive you.from robert,the s.f.giant fan.
He was beautiful what a song and story teller
There will never be another performer like him
thanks for the upload, great stuff!
Frank brings down the house........he was a absolute legend.
The mockery of his own finger-snapping shtick, "trying to keep everybody happy", the confluence of art and reality, a most stunning Sinatra moment.
Frank...Love this video. The song from "Caberet" was great and I thank you for singing Barry's song. It is quite the compliment for you to say that about him. He always loved you, Frank and this song of yours sounds like one of the " Saloon Songs" Frank used to love so much. We all miss you Frank but still our love for you goes on..........................Betsy Basile
Specifically, this was November 14th, 1977 when Frank Sinatra was a guest host. He sang rather than do a monolog.
The Will & Willie Show Thanks for that tid bit of information, much appreciated.
Makes sense for him.
Whatever it was, Sinatra had got it in more than anyone else could have whatever it was.
What an awesome song thought I knew all of Barry's songs. Incredible song and man can he sing it!!!
That Barry song is on his "This One's For You" album - 1976. GREAT album!!
@@TonysMusic1974 I forgot how great the album was till I looked at it again, thank you. "All the Time" breaks my heart.
@@markforbus6794 if you like "all the time" check out Barry's so g "home again" which is on Barry Manilow II
Frank should of Recorded See the show again his performance of this song on Johnny Carson show was perfect that's my opinion
Chris Vegas I couldn’t agree more and I don’t even know your name come on in and see the show again
I wish Frank recorded more in the late 70s, early 80s. He was in great voice. Shame! We need that Time Machine!
Frank can sing every song that other artist have made ,! Better than them , it's just magic , rip , xxx
How Lucky are we to still have his Voice now and for ever.
I hear he was offered “I Left my Heart in San Francisco” and when he heard it he thought it was better suited for Tony Bennett. A top hit and he gave it to another performer. Do t see much if that… and he was right - it was perfect for Tony…
The words he sings go through your mind and you actually SEE AS WELL AS HEAR THE SONG
Какие мелодичные мелодии,захватывают дух,и так хочется в ту эпоху : совершенства и порядочности !!!
A master at work
BEAUTIFUL JUST BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I love Frank Sinatra. He’s got hundreds of great recordings/performances.
The instrumentals in See The Show Again are so different and yet awesome. Frank was so fantastic in this appearance. Sometimes you forget about these gems in the later part of his career.
Standing O of course!!!!
Absolutely fabulous Darling.✨🌼🌞🌼✨
There are sev songs from Sinatra's original album, WATERTOWN , esp "I'd be in love, anyhow" -- I'd love to hear Kody Lee put up an arrangement. Lee has the ability to change a great if song to his own. Frank had the ability to take ANY piece of music and make it memorable; priceless.
Wow, what a treat to see Sinatra performing at a level that is seldom reached. This is not his best material, but he brings an authenticity and power to the songs that nobody else approaches, imho. Put simply, he is authentic, and although a flawed man, he was a magnificent artist and one of the finest singers who ever sang. Too bad Sinatra never recorded with Severinsen. Now that would have been a record!!
What a performer!!
Frank in my mind was his greatest in the forties his voice at it's zenith. Through the decades he still have punch and love of voice.
Frank........This is a great performance on the Tonight Show. I love it and sing it with you every night when I watch the video. Both songs are great songs. I wish you were still here so I could tell you in person. I still love you and Dean............................Betsy Basile
He loved the music. That was his secret. Some secret, huh?

Frank Sinatra: insuperabile
The Greatest Of All Time!
He was awesome!
One of a kind.
Genius.
Two words "Class Act"
One of a kind . At my father's funeral all Frank. Class act !!!
Like the finest bourbon, great aged wine, Michaelangelos and the likes you can’t get any better. He became the orchestra and the music and took you to a place you can’t go any other time.
Magnificent.
