Who is "Real Fagnan"? Are you referring to Sinatra? If so, did he really hurt his vocal cords? Or did his voice just naturally change as he grew older?
Frank was going through a very rough period during the early 1950s. This great version was a hint of things to come. After one poorly attended concert, Ava Gardner said to a despondent Sinatra:- "Nobody with your talent is completely washed up." She was right. A few years later, he signed to Capitol Records. The rest is history.
My old man tended bar at a place called Mazzarino's in LA back in the 50s. Sinatra stopped in from time to time, and one night he came in late, half in the bag. He'd just broken up with Ava Gardner and was not in a pleasant mood. Then someone put a dime in the jukebox. One For My Baby by Sinatra. Frank went nuts, picked up a bar stool and destroyed the jukebox. Next day he came in, apologized profusely, and paid for three new jukeboxes
If I could pick one old clip to present to someone who doesn't get Sinatra, this would be it. The singing is conversationally masterful-the way he grabs you from the first mellifluous "I'm" (which most singers do not start the song with-it's usually "Not much to look at") Sinatra is simply the greatest singer at finding the heart of a song and communicating it to the listener. His ennunciations of "woman" drive home the depth of the love. Over and over again, through the decades, he transformed songs (this one was twenty years old by the time he recorded it)- it was part of his special gift and we're so lucky he shared it with us. The subplot of everyone stopped in stunned silence at the audition has never been equalled.
The great Sinatra of the 50s emerging here. The public didn't seem to notice yet, but those in the know did. Great reading of She's Funny That Way, but an even better one on NiceNEasy LP with Riddle in 1960.
Thanks for Riddle recommendation. I've never understood why Sinatra would have gone out of favor. If he'd sung in a style that had become outmoded, I could see that, but his style here seems timeless. Glad he kept on trucking.
His voice sounded great here damn, pleasant surprise, he sounds almost like he did in the mid 1940s I heard he had lost his voice probably not long after this movie
Somos pocos los latinos que nos encanta este tipo de canciones y más de Frank Sinatra, que gusto saber que aún hay personas en el mundo que más que escuchar una canción, sienten la canción ❤️🩹
What did he say to "take off" at the beginning? It appeared he was talking to the piano player, or was it the trumpet player? I always assumed he was talking to the trumpet player because I know they have attachments that they put on the trumpet, but it appears that he was talking to the piano player.
Thanks for your input! After rerunning it many times, I think he was telling the trumpet player to take off his "clevis". You'll notice that right after Frank said that, the trumpet player made a jerking motion on his trumpet. According to the dictionary, a clevis is a U-shaped metal fastening device with holes at the ends, used for attaching parts. No mention of any relationship to a piano or trumpet, though. I love not only Frank's singing of the song but also the ambiance of the scene. Raymond Burr not only starts to pay attention but sees the reactions of others and thinks: this guy really has talent; how can I make money from discovering him.
@@BrianCG75 I had the same thoughts re the "wisecrack" by Frank, and lovely surprise of seeing Canadian Raymond Burr outside a courtroom! BTW, Burr was a convincing criminal type in some old noir films. Surprising how quite a few celebrities popped up as "youngsters" in the wonderful B/W movies.
Wow! That is pure musical genius! What a voice, and this song really was a great opportunity to show it off! One of the comments intimated that he had problems with his voice/vocal cords shortly after this?
@Andrew Heller Ouch lol! Was it that hard to figure out what he meant? I'm guessing he meant "early" for "yearly, " and "hear" for "listen." And that Sinatra was a diamond in the rough. :)
"Meet Danny Wilson" has some similarities to Mr. Sinatra's own career. I don't know why it didn't do well at the box office especially with great new interpretations of tunes like "She's funny That Way". Perhaps the public was looking for a radical departure from American standards.
Yes! Good to see Canadian Raymond Burr pop up now and then, outside a courtroom! He also made an excellent villain in several old noir films. Frank's singing is gorgeous, as always!
The piano player looks an awful like the legendary David Foster but it couldn't be him. This guy is at least 30 years old and this clip is from 73 years ago. Maybe this is his father?
nothing seems to go my way frankie, life ain’t no fuckin rollercoaster, goes for everyone, im battling my own demons at the moment more than before, I’m 20 years old feelin like I’m 60, I’m drained throughout every crevice, my shoes ain’t fitting no more, damn thing hasn’t been shined for a while now, I feel lonelier than ever, I did my dirt and fuck ups but I can’t seem to correct them., karma has caught up with me, I’m seeking validation from a dame that doesn’t even give 2 fucks about me, I’m doing everything I can but nothing seems to sit into place, it feels like I’m digging my own damn grave.
Frank is in great, controlled voice here- beautiful rendition of this classic- nobody defined smooth as compellingly as Sinatra.
Real Fagnan was this before he snapped his vocal cords? Cuz his voice is a lot different in his capitol years
@@debishop3359 He sounded even more different in the 1940s

Perfection at it’s best. What a voice. No one will ever top Sinatra.
Honestly I wish Frank Sinatra was immortal. The world has ALWAYS needed him
yes!
He is.
He’s immortal with what he’s given.
The best comment on any Sinatra video ever - and I've certainly seen at least hundreds.
minus the mob stuff, yep!
We are blessed to have these clips. I'm 70 and have never seen this before. Mercy!
You can actually watch this entire movie for free online!
How? Where?
He was and is the master. He left us fantastic music. Thanks Francis .
Eternally magnificent Sinatra! Thanks for sharing.
How he slides vowels so smoothly and impecably
Frank was going through a very rough period during the early 1950s.
This great version was a hint of things to come.
After one poorly attended concert, Ava Gardner said to a despondent
Sinatra:- "Nobody with your talent is completely washed up."
She was right. A few years later, he signed to Capitol Records.
The rest is history.
But to come back better than ever! That run he had 1953-69-there was no one as popular, productive and powerful in entertainment history.
Rob Jones I think his voice was great at this point. It's like he was transitioning from his 40s voice into his new Capital years voice.
Yeah. He lost alot of weight and Shelley worried that she might look like a blimp compared to him.
My old man tended bar at a place called Mazzarino's in LA back in the 50s. Sinatra stopped in from time to time, and one night he came in late, half in the bag.

Frank went nuts, picked up a bar stool and destroyed the jukebox. Next day he came in, apologized profusely, and paid for three new jukeboxes
And what music he made with
Capitol!
In his youth......wow - what a voice. He sings as thought he believes every word.
A great era for movies. Such talented people.
We are truly blessed that there are film and recordings of the greatest singer of the Twentieth Century to listen and watch 'The Voice'
Thank you so much for posting this. Love Frank Sinatra ❤
Perry Mason listens and thinks up another combination in court.

My favorite moment of Frank on screen was when he sang I Fall In Love Too Easily. ❤😊

@@jaytaylor7740 Part of it was the scandal of him leaving his wife for Ava Gardner. He also lost his voice and had to stop singing for a year.
Even better rendition of "she's funny that way" from 1944
This is a great example of Sinatra during the period when he started to change his style of singing.
Hello Frankie 😍! Wow ! Frank Sinatra had the must beautiful voice in the world and he’s so good looking 🥰.
Kissing kissing 😚❣️😘xxxxxxxxx .
Raymond Burr
Shelley Winters and Sinatra HATED each other all the way through the making of the film while they had to pretend to be madly in love.
gave the movie the perfect dynamic to be honest.
Why?
He's so close to his Capitol records run. It was just around the corner.
His voice sounded great here damn, pleasant surprise, he sounds almost like he did in the mid 1940s
I heard he had lost his voice probably not long after this movie
Bullshit he had never lost his voice dumbass
@@야-l8z it was during the spring '50

Sinatra jugando en su propia liga...Nadie se le acerca.
The existential singer at work.
Most of the songs in this movie were among his best.
That horn part was perfection!
Who was playing trumpet.
robertc391 Charles Parlato, a talented trumpeter who later played with the Lawrence Welk orchestra.
I'd like to play this on the horn
@@robertc391 I believe it's Manny Klein.
C'mon fellas,make up your mind.Was it Charles Parlato,or Manny Klein because I am interested too !!!Was Manny Klein ex Tommy Dorsey?
Una delicia escuchar a frank
Una de las voces q nunca mas estaran con nosotros
Una pena..
Q tal voz e interpretacion
Unicas.....
Who's fhe amazing trumpet player?
What did he say to "take off" at the beginning? It appeared he was talking to the piano player, or was it the trumpet player? I always assumed he was talking to the trumpet player because I know they have attachments that they put on the trumpet, but it appears that he was talking to the piano player.
I think he told the piano player to take off his gloves, then they both laughed.

You'll notice that right after Frank said that, the trumpet player made a jerking motion on his trumpet.

as you can listen to the yearly years a rough diamond.

Not rough! EMOTIONAL!
Francis albert sinatra at his best❤❤❤😎😎😎ice
So true!
Get it Frank!!!!
"Meet Danny Wilson" has some similarities to Mr. Sinatra's own career. I don't know why it didn't do well at the box office especially with great new interpretations of tunes like "She's funny That Way". Perhaps the public was looking for a radical departure from American standards.
Sheer pleasure
The Chairman conducts the meeting 👍
Hire that guy.
Francis Albert Sinatra was the premier entertainer of the 20th Century. Nobody can accomplish what he did.
He was italian as me from Liguria 😍
boy, he sure lost some hair! he's still got a full head of hair in "on the town"! and that was only two years ago...
It was "going' then. It happens fast for some.
Smoking, drinking, partying, and horrible depression most likely accelerated it for him.
@@antonioduca9043 Forgot the most important thing - genetics.
?????? The greatest in the twentieth centur. Would not matter if he looked like Yul .
Good tune by young Frank
Who was playing the trumpet 🎺 I swear the trumpet gave me more butterflies than even Frank did! Lol
I love Frank so much but THAT'S FRICKIN PERRY MASON!!!!
Dammit Rae Smith. I see you in every single comment section in the songs i listen to.
Without Della Street & perhaps before Godzilla ??
He was working on a case !!
Yes! Good to see Canadian Raymond Burr pop up now and then, outside a courtroom! He also made an excellent villain in several old noir films.
Frank's singing is gorgeous, as always!
The piano player looks an awful like the legendary David Foster but it couldn't be him. This guy is at least 30 years old and this clip is from 73 years ago. Maybe this is his father?
I know a guy who sings like Sinatra but a bit better. The crooner is a dying breed in these days sadly or at least that I am aware of..
진짜 너무 사랑하는 노래...ㅠㅠ
Love franks voice pure class❤
What a voice for the ages.😮 Frank do know your daughter is keeping your legacy ALIVE.
So good even Perry Mason keeps his trap shut.
nothing seems to go my way frankie, life ain’t no fuckin rollercoaster, goes for everyone, im battling my own demons at the moment more than before, I’m 20 years old feelin like I’m 60, I’m drained throughout every crevice, my shoes ain’t fitting no more, damn thing hasn’t been shined for a while now, I feel lonelier than ever, I did my dirt and fuck ups but I can’t seem to correct them., karma has caught up with me, I’m seeking validation from a dame that doesn’t even give 2 fucks about me, I’m doing everything I can but nothing seems to sit into place, it feels like I’m digging my own damn grave.
