Shout out to the “Wrecking Crew” for the all the backing music and none of the recognition.
Quite often, they got recognition in the liner notes for the album. This session features Hal Blaine - drums, Glen Campbell - guitar, Alvin Casey - guitar, Roy Caton - trumpet, Victor Feldman - percussion, Carol Kaye - electric bass, Bill Miller - piano, Oliver Mitchell - trumpet, Donald Owens - piano, and Ralph Peña - string bass.
Bing Crosby was the first crooner. The advent of an electric microphone allowed the male singer to lean in and make his delivery much more nuanced, intimate, and personal.
No, Rudy Vallee.
@@breckrichardson390 Rudy Valley was famous for the megaphone. Because there were no electronic amplification when he started
Roddy Valley was first, in the late 1920's early 30's. He started out in vaudeville and then started acting in early film productions.
@@susannebeer-eyk7054 yep. Pre-amplification and not a crooner.
@@breckrichardson390 Not so.
Fun facts:
Frank and Nancy Sinatra are the ONLY father/daughter combo to have a number 1 hit on the U.S. Billboard chart both together (this song) and as separate artists. Nancy for "These Boots Are Made For Walking" and Frank for many hits.
Most of the father/daughter songs were did after the father was long gone. This is one of the few that was an actual duet.
And Franks FIRST number one hit. My Way, New York, both after this
Belafonte
Another good father and daughter song was Conway Twitty and his daughter Joni Lee singing - Don't Cry Joni.
Good facts. Ozzy and Kelly Osbourne had a UK No. 1 hit as a duet, but neither had one solo.
This is a very rare male/female duo where the female takes the lower register...Frank adored Nancy and vice versa!
Nancy is singing higher than him throughout the song, she just has a warm tone to her voice, and is singing the higher harmony to Frank's lower register.
Nancy is definitely singing in a higher octave than Frank. Not sure what you could mean.
Right, Frank is always lower. I think what he was trying to point out is that Frank sings the melody throughout, Nancy *only* sings a complementary (and quite musically interesting) harmony. She never actually sings any of the "melody", but her part is just as important to the combined effect.
Please check out Born Free,......by Matt Monro. Thank you!
I think "Did you evah?" Is Dean Martin & Frank Sinatra, and it's a fun song!
Dean Martin “Everybody loves somebody sometime”, Sammy Davis Jr “ I’ve got to be me” Joey bishop had a talk show, Peter lawford mostly actor, as well as all of them.
OHHHHH, Dean Martin!! so handsome and such a wonderful voice that I don’t feel he ever got credit for, plus his comedic timing! Everybody Loves Somebody and That’s Amore are two of Dean Martin’s best!! You must check him out. You can hear it in His voice even when singing, that he was just a happy guy that anyone would love to be around (until tragically his son, do you know Martin died in a plane crash, everyone said he was never the same) But what a voice!
In addition to the two you mentioned, "Ain't That A Kick In The Head" is another. (I'm not sure if that's the exact title however).
Also “Amore” you know “ when the moon hits your eye like a big piece of pie, that’s Amore”
A song you may consider from Nancy is "You only live twice" the theme from the James Bond film of the same name.
I agree, one of the best Bond themes !
@@stevenklein3195 I agree the music in that is just awesome!!! Sadly, it seems like a forgotten Bond theme.
Better than Goldfinger or Thunderball?@@stevenklein3195
YES, YES, YES!
And then they need to watch some James Bond 007 movies.
A suggestion from Nancy, "Bang bang my baby shot me down"...a Frank suggestion "come fly with me"
YES!!
Came here to say the same
Eight-year-old Angelina Jordan's performance on Norway's Got Talent is super!
Mam adored Sinatra & we were lucky enough to see him live at the Albert Hall in London together. We loved it. Come Fly With Me was played at her funeral. Love you mam xx
Ithink Cher did Bang Bang
"What Kind of Fool Am I?" by Sammy Davis Jr. "You're Nobody Til somebody loves you", "Just in time" , "Sway", "Please Don't Talk about me" and "Evening in Roma" by Dean Martin
"Ain't that a Kick in the Head"
In case you didn't know. Frank's son, Frank junior's voice sounds very much like his dad's. He was also a performer, doing a lot of his dad's tunes.
He was also kidnapped for 3 days in 1963, and was returned after his dad paid the nearly quarter million dollar ransom. The 3 men were caught, one was a former classmate of Nancy's. They only served 4 years in prison.
Sadly no video of Frank and Nancy ever performing this together in public or on TV exists. There is video if Frank *Jr.* and Nancy singing it, though.
@@phila3884 ruclips.net/video/u85Ns9tMEfo/видео.html - Frank Jr. and Nancy
The harmony between the two of them on this is just magical. Whoever wrote the song deserves a star in heaven.
Rat Pack - Dean Martin, Frank, Sammy Davis Jr., Joey Bishop, Peter Lawford.
Nancy Sinatra & Lee Hazlewood's duet, "Summer Wine" is worth checking out.
I love "Summer Wine". Another great duet she did with Lee Hazelwood is "Some Velvet Morning".
I will keep saying, you need to watch the video of Frank recording "It Was a Very Good Year" It is really interesting to hear him talk about being a crooner or not and to watch his way of recording, his humor. Notice his hat hanging on the mike stand. As for the Rat Pack, there are videos on RUclips with them performing together.
Love that song. I had never heard it until Robbie Williams did it as a duet with a Frank Sinatra from beyond the grave in 2001.
That is the great Glen Campbell strumming the acoustic guitar, and Al Casey doing the picking on acoustic guitar. Carol Kaye on bass, and Hal Blaine on the drums. Would not surprise me if that was Lawrence Welk Orchestra violinists Joe Livoti and Harry Hyams as part of the string section.
Yes, someone posted above who the great session musos were on this 😊
This session features Hal Blaine - drums, Glen Campbell - guitar, Alvin Casey - guitar, Roy Caton - trumpet, Victor Feldman - percussion, Carol Kaye - electric bass, Bill Miller - piano, Oliver Mitchell - trumpet, Donald Owens - piano, and Ralph Peña - string bass.
Orchestration done by, as with most of Frank's stuff, the great Nelson Riddle
This was one of my mother's favorite songs. She passed when I was 7. I asked my dad when I was a teenager about the music she loved, he said she loved music as much as I do now. I asked him about her favorite songs, and he said "Something Stupid" was one of her favorite tunes. Thank you for showcasing this song and bringing her memories back to me. RIH ((Mom)) till I am where you are. :) :(
Something Stupid is an all-time favorite of mine. Another crooner, Perry Como, recorded a song call It's Impossible. I think you would both enjoy that one.
Great song. To this day, they remain the only father/daughter duet to ever hit number one on the Billboard Hot 100. This is actually my favorite song by either one of them. ❤
They had so much fun doing this. You might like to have a look at Nancy Sinatra and Lee Hazlewood. "Summer Wine."
I had that album. Love this song.
I was going to recommend it also. You beat me to it!
✌️😁❤️🎶🎶🎶👍
@stormy8207 I recommended their duet on the strange but beautiful "Some Velvet Morning." Lee had such a great voice. I have the album...now I have to get it out and play it.
Yeah, great song!
The Wrecking Crew are the backing musicians. There’s a fantastic documentary with the same name. It’s amazing how many artists from the 50s into the 70s didn’t write or play their own music.
The session musicians on so many great songs deserve their props!
The Wrecking Crew, The Funk Brothers, The Memphis Horns,
The Muscle Shoals Rhythm Section(aka The Swampers) and Booker T. & The M.G.'s.
Nancy's YOU ONLY LIVE TWICE is a must to listen to.
Dean martin has so many terrific songs. "On The Street Where You Live", "A Winter Romance" and "Everybody Loves Somebody Sometime" (which knocked The Beatles out of number one) come to mind.
Dean Martin "everybody loves somebody"
The decade of the 1960s was, in my opinion, the golden age of romantic music. And this song was from 1967, one year after Frank's "Strangers In The Night", another classic of the genre.
Nancy’s harmony is a VERY difficult tune to hold, but she sings it perfectly!
Speaking of crooners, You need to do Perry Como. That was my mom's very favorite crooner back in the day! Perry was so smooooooooth!
"Catch a Falling Star", "Papa Loves Mambo", "Killing Me Softly With Her Song" would all be good ones to start with among many.
Yes! "Catch a Falling Star." Maybe the smoothest vocal ever recorded?
How about "Moon River"?
If they do decide to react to Perry, they gotta do a live performance. You just get drawn in completely while watching him sing
It's Impossible.
A fun cover of this is Robbie Williams and Nicole Kidman - cute video too!
It was a great cover version too
LOVE THIS ONE!!!!
It’s probably better than the original version.
Kelly Clarkson & Zachary Levi did a Kellyoke of this.
And were they in a relationship at the time? That's the rumour
When this Song came out it created a lot of conversations around the dinner table regarding the use of the word “Stupid”. Very catchy song.
Frank may’ve been the most popular Crooner, but he was not even close to being the first. It’s a style that has been around since the 1920’s.
My favorite love song!! This version is by far the best!!! The two are simply beautiful together!!
My mom used to play this song a lot. I love it!! Sammy Davis Jr. was part of the "Rat Pack". He sang a happy song called "Candy Man" if you want to check it out.
Did you know that the Candy Man is supposed to be about a drug dealer?
@@Carrie-so3ro I didn't know that. There are even kids singing in the song.
Love it. I think most people would call Bing Crosby the first Crooner.
Aww, my mom & I used to sing this together when I was a kid. Always loved it!
@cindyquinn9739 what a wonderful memory!
Nancy's father tried to help her career but it never took off until she worked with Oklahoma native Lee Hazlewood who wrote Boots are Made for Walking. Check the song duets they did together Summer Wine or Some Velvet Morning. You'll see a different Nancy.
Summer Wine ❤
I was a boy in the 60s when I heard this and I still think this is when Frank's voice was at its best 👌
I love you guys. Amber, my favorite Nancy Sinatra song is with her longtime singing partner Lee Hazlewood. Its called "Some Velvet Morning". I think you will like it because you like songs that are different. There is a great video with it.
@steve-eq8kx I also recommended it. Such a different song.
Definitely one of the best father and daughter duets.
This song was a favourite of my Mum’s and is being played at her funeral this Friday.
There's a 1970s country group called The Kendalls that is father/daughter. There's also The Staple Singers, who is a father (Pops Staples) and his 3 daughters. But on their earlier records, the group has Pops' son instead of 1 of the daughters. Stevie Wonder's daughter Aisha Morris does background vocals on his tours and they have a couple of duets on Stevie's 2005 album "A Time 2 Love". Y'all recently reacted to Johnnie Taylor, he has a duet with his daughter Tasha called "Ain't That Lovin' You". They never recorded together, but Donny Hathaway has a daughter named Lalah Hathaway who sings.
Wow, this song came out in the 60’s with…These Boots Are Made For Walking.” Time goes so darn fast, “ enjoy every day of your lives, sweeties. “👍♥️♥️🌹🌹
Another great duet and song from a father and daughter is Ozzie Osborne and his daughter Kelly singing one of Ozzie's songs "CHANGES" one of my all time favorite and was my hubby's...thank you for being fantastic hosts to your channel, you never disappoint!!!
Gwyneth Paltrow and Huey Lewis - "Cruising". It's a Smokey Robinson cover from the movie "Duets". Gwyneth did a cover of "Bette Davis Eyes" in the same movie too.
Yes!!! I absolutely love that version of the song and they love Huey!!! ❤
Love it!
Man what a memory! Great harmony!❤❤
The beautiful backing is courtesy of the legendary Wrecking Crew 😁 You have heard their work on hundreds of songs. ‘ Sugartown” is a fantastic Nancy hit that you would love reviewing!
This song was popular when I was a child. I had a Woody Woodpecker pull string hand puppet. When you pulled the string Woody would say one of the 15 or more catch phrases that he was famous for. One of them was "I love you. I do, I do, I do." I would walk around the house singing "And then I go and spoil it all by saying something stupid like..." and pulled the string hoping to get that one phrase. More often I got something else like "Hold your hats kids!"
Try Dean Martin "That's Amore", and Sammy Davis Jr. "The Candyman". There are many more. Also there is a movie called "Return to me" that you should check out. It has a lot of the crooner type of music in it, that I think you will like.
Nancy Sinatra and Lee Hazelwood had some awesome duets which were written by Lee such as: 1) Some Velvet Evening 2) Lady Bird
3) (You'll find a great live version of the song "Summerwine" from The Ed Sullivan Show) 4) Sugar Town (Solo song minus Lee Hazelwood).
If you'd like to check out a country father/daughter duo, The Kendalls had a big hit with "Heaven's Just A Sin Away" back in the 70s. They have some really great harmonies.
Frank had a big hit in the 1940s "Nancy with the Laughing face" which the writers wrote as a song for Frank's then little daughter Nancy.
My favourite Dean Martin - Little ole wine drinker me. Always makes me smile
GREAT song
here's a couple nancy songs to try...."bang bang"......"sugar town"
Her biggest hit was "these boots", but my favorite song of hers is "summer wine"!!! Also covered really well by Bono and the Corrs.
Mambo No.5 - Lou Bega You'll be dancing!
Their voices blended so smoothly.
I love this song! The harmonies make the song.
Nancy Sinatra also has a song called Summer Wine..it’s amazing as well
The song was written by C Carson Parks and originally recorded with his wife as Carson & Gaile. It sounds very similar but after it was brought to the attention of Frank he brought in Nancy and the best musicians in town (members of the 'wrecking crew') and they all sprinkled their magic on it....Back in 2005 I saw Nancy perform in London. During her set she announced that 'I'm going to sing a song with my dad now', and when the sound of her accompanying Frank came through the PA it produced a really eerie feeling - as if he was singing from the heavens. One of my most memorable gigs.
Dean Martin-"Ain't That a Kick in the Head", Sammy Davis Jr-"What Kind of Fool Am I" or "I've Gotta Be Me". For a swinging Big Band arrangement (Horns!!), listen to Frank's "I've Got You Under my Skin".
Nice way to keep this music alive forever, like Frank said in an interview.
A Great Duet,By Father & Daughter
In the early/mid 70's I listened a lot to this genre. Nancy. Frank. Nancy and Lee, Dean. etc. I loved Status, Black Sabbath, Deep purple and so on. And Yeah. Sonny & Cher ''I Goy You Babe''. My friend came to visit one time when I was blasting that one. He looked at me and asked ''What the **** is this?** Well. It's so and so. Just listen to it. He was hooked. Have several stories like that one. Have one with Sonny Bono's solo album. But let's save that one for later. As for the music I love. Thanks Göran (my father) 1942-2003. You are forever in my heart.
Believe it or not, Humphrey Bogart was an original member of the Rat Pack.
Early Sinatra with Tommy Dorsey is good as well.
Frank Sinatra had big hits backed by vocal group The Pied Pipers and Jo Stafford with Stardust and I'll Never Smile Again, as well as Polka Dots and Moon beans as a solo Vocalist with the Tommy Dorsey Orchestra.
At the same time, Glen Miller's Crooner was Ray Eberle, whose brother Bob sang with the Jimmy Dorsey Orchestra. Ray Eberle, backed by the Modernaires on backing vocals, went to number #1 with Elmer's Tune, and had big hits with At Last and my favorite, Along the Santa Fe Trail, with Glen Miller.
This is another one that I can remember my Mom and Dad putting the album on the stereo and slow dancing to in the living room,while my sisters and I watched . I remember dreaming someone would look at me when I grew up like they looked at each other. 😍 I was just subtracting and realized they were only 32 and 34 years old.. though they seemed old to me lol. Dad is gone now and Mom is 88. They were married for 69 years. Thanks for a sweet memory. ❤
My gosh! I haven't heard this song since sitting around the Sunday afternoon dinner table with my parents - maybe 50 years ago? Such memories, and much love to my parents for playing such a wide variety of music on Sunday afternoons. Sinatra, Johnny Cash, Kingston Trio, Peter, Paul & Mary, Herb Alpert...... on and on! Thanks so very much for reacting to practically EVERY genre of music!!!
Robbie Williams did this with Nicole Kidman x
Frank Sinatra has a great family Christmas album. Nancy, Tina, and Frank Jr. sing.
I seriously urge you to listen to some of Nancy and Lee Hazlewood’s music!! It’s like psychedelic folky. Their first album together “Nancy and Lee” is one of my all time favorites, Summer Wine and Some Velvet Morning are probably the most popular!!
One of the first songs I knew by heart! Years later I couldn't stand it for a while because my driving instructor kept singing it, over and over again. Nancy Sinatra famously covered a Cher song "Bang Bang (My Baby Shot Me Down)", both released in 1966.
This is one of literally HUNDREDS of hits from the '60s and '70s on which the backing track was played by that incredible collection of Los Angeles studio musicians that came to be known as "The Wrecking Crew." They played on just about everybody's music -- well, everybody but the British Invasion artists, Motown Records' stable of artists, and the soul/R&B artists that recorded in Muscle Shoals (Atlantic Records), Memphis (Stax Records) or Chicago (Chess Records). The Monkees, Sonny and Cher, Frank Sinatra, Righteous Brothers, Gary Lewis & the Playboys, Herb Alpert & the Tijuana Brass, Beach Boys, The Crystals, Johnny Rivers, Petula Clark (one of the rare British Invasion artists who used The Wrecking Crew), Mamas and Papas, Ike & Tina Turner, Glen Campbell, The Byrds, Simon and Garfunkel, The 5th Dimension, Paul Revere & the Raiders, The Carpenters -- that's just an incomplete list of all the hundreds of artists who recorded with The Wrecking Crew playing their backing track. You've GOT to watch the movie "The Wrecking Crew" : ruclips.net/video/-ZgBexrZvM0/видео.htmlsi=_98s0Bu4AS2MNdiq
One day you should hear Nancy sing Your Groovy Self. As far as I know it's the only time a guest performer appeared on an Elvis Presley album without Elvis sing along with them.
S04E7 of Better Call Saul had an absolutely beautiful cover of this song during the opening. There's a split screen where the main characters Jimmy and Kim are drifting apart in their lives and the song is playing over it.
Father/daughter duets are very special!! A great one but sad because Chris Cornell has passed on! RIP Chris! Toni Cornell has an amazing voice also like her Dad! Their duet is written by Prince, and made famous by Sinead O’ Connor! Nothing Compares 2U! Great voices!! Great love for each other!!❤️💜
the Rat Pack are recognized as Sinatra, Dean Martin, Sammy Davis jr-singers and Joey Bishop-comedian and Peter Lawford-actor, but the group actually formed in the 50s around Humphrey Bogart and his actor friends. After Bogarts death the group and the named evolved into Sinatra's group.
Some Nancy Sinatra songs to check out: Sugartown, Lightning's Girl, How Does That Grab You, Darling?" Then check out her songs with Lee Hazlewood..."Summer Wine," "Some Velvet Morning." A couple Frank songs: "It Was A Very Good Year," and 'Quiet Nights Of Quiet Stars (Corcovado)" with Antonio Carlos Jobim from their album "Francis Albert Sinatra and Antonio Carlos Jobim."
I remember when that song came out... It was well received and I enjoyed it as well... Nancy had a short singing and acting career But was pretty popular for about 3 years... In the late 1,960s she also sang with her then boyfriend Lee Hazlewood... They had a few good songs together which you should check out...I think my favorite song of theirs was " Summer Wine"... They also did a good cover of the song "Jackson"... Frank sang with his daughter Nancy a couple different times... she tried to jump start her career again in the late 1980s or early 90s and Frank sang at her concerts briefly to help her out... Frank's son Frank jr sang a bit and he looked and sounded like his dad for a while... He ended up being a conductor for his dad's orchestra... This song brought back a lot of good memories... Great reaction guys... I'll see you on the next one... Keep Being Awesome !!!...
Thank you guys for playing outstanding music continously. ❤
Olivia Newton John and Cliff Richard - "Suddenly".
The Best is Yet to Come, one of Frankie’s iconic songs
The orchestration is great.
You should listen to Nancy Sinatra's duets with Lee Hazlewood, like "Summer Wine" and "Some Velvet Morning" from the late 1980s.
Neil Sedaka is one of the few music legends you've never reacted to on your channel. Neil did a terrific duet with his daughter Dara called "Should've Never Let You Go". Definitely worth checking out.
People Called This Frank Sinatra/Nancy Sinatra Duet ‘The Incest Song’
Frank Sinatra and Nancy Sinatra released a No. 1 hit which garnered the unofficial tile "The Incest Song." here's how Nancy reacted to that name.
“I don’t know,” Nancy said. “People joked about it and called it ‘The Incest Song,’ which I thought was pretty silly. But yeah I can see the point.”
😂😂😂 I’m 61 now, and that point in time if I even knew this song which I probably did… I would never of thought anything like incest. It’s the unbelievably evil world we live in now that makes us think that way. Even myself when I hear this song now. What a sad state of affairs.
@@beatleschick1000 sad indeed, ma'am.
More Nancy Sinatra songs should hear - "Summer Wine" (with Lee Hazlewood) and "Bang Bang"
How about Nancy and Lee Hazelwood - they had lots of duets back in the 60s - "Some Velvet Morning" would be a nice one to react to.
OMG - suggested this one a LONG time ago - one of my FAVS from them!! ENJOY, YA'LL!! HUGS!!!
Love this song, it was quite popular. It’s quite a common thing that when relatives sing together, their voices really blend in a special way. ❤️ I think there’s another of them together but I forget, lol.
When Nancy was born Frank recorded a song called "Nancy". I think it's one of his best.
Amber, do Nancy Sinatra's "Sugar town" for Female Friday. I have always loved this song.
My Pops was a Sinatra fan. Love this & it takes me back in time.
A lot of people thought this was creepy. But I loved the song!!!!
Oh, glad you said that. I was wondering if l was the only one thinking the lyrics were creepy for a father and daughter. 😄
But, l love the melody and harmony. They did a great job.
Try “Some Velvet Morning” Nancy Sinatra and Lee Hazelwood. Unusual song structure
Simply beautiful ❤
So beautiful. I've been listening to this song since I was 3 when my dad started playing it on the record player... 1967
Never heard this before, enjoying it way more than I thought I would!
Their voices blend well, right down to the subtle vibrato used on almost every syllable. It's in the genetics, no cigars involved. One voice is the higher range, the other the lower range. That's all...and the only father/daughter team with a number one hit. Hasn't been duplicated since.
Tony Bennett "For once in my life "
Another duet consisting of Frank and Nancy Sinatra is “Feelin’ Kinda Sonday” from Nancy’s EP ‘For My Dad’. Nancy Sinatra also did a duet with Dean Martin entitled “Things”. Also songwriter Jimmy Van Heusen was working with his lyricist Johnny Burke. When Johnny Burke was out of the room comedian Phil Silvers approached Jimmy Van Heusen suggesting that they write a song for Johnny’s wife, Bessie who had an upcoming birthday. Phil Silvers provided the lyrics and at the party they sang “Bessie…with the Laughing Face”. The song was such a hit that it was incorporated into other female birthday events. When the song was sung as “Nancy…with the Laughing Face” at Nancy’s birthday party Ol’ Blue Eyes broke down crying thinking the song had been written especially for his daughter. Van Heusen, Burke and Silvers didn’t have the heart to correct him. After Frank Sinatra recorded “Nancy…with the Laughing Face” for Columbia in 1944 Jimmy Van Heusen assigned the royalties to go to Nancy.
Awww...brought tears to my eyes... one of my dad's favorite songs...RIP Dad❤
same here, my Mom loved Frank.
Our rock n roll station played this along with the Beatles, Stones, Dean Martin, Beach Boys, Herman's Hermits, Bob Dylan, Burl Ives. We were diverse.
A couple of Nancy's songs to check out: "Sugar Town", "Summer Wine", and the very odd "Some Velvet Morning". The latter two were duets with Lee Hazlewood, the writer and producer of most of her hits.
Recorded in 1966 and a big hit for them. The song was #1 in billboard. In 2001 it was covered again by British artist Robbie Williams and Australian actress Nicole Kidman and it reached number one in the UK Singles Charts. Both versions are good (ruclips.net/video/FayNQo4VZr8/видео.htmlsi=CRqSmYZqR29s736I). Also Nancy sang the same song with her brother.
Last year, I went through a binge of picking up Sinatra 60s era Reprise records, great stuff. Thank you for reacting to this.
