Perfectly Frank

Perfectly Frank ... is a good way to describe Frank Sinatra's diction. It reminds me of our H.S. choir teacher, Mr. Davis, who was a fanatic about pronouncing the final consonants of words clearly. Everyone hated him, but he was good. lol .This song is a good example. There is one "don't you" that comes out as "doan chu," which always caused Mr. Davis to have a fit, but he got it right the second time.

This is just me, but I always liked Frank Sinatra better heard and not seen. To me he always projected a bit of an "attitude" in live performances. LOL
This song came out the year I graduated high school. It was so NOT cool at the time. The Beatles had arrived!!! .. I liked it anyway. :shrug:
Softly, As I Leave You (1964)

My dad was a big Frank Sinatra fan,had many of his albums in his collection.When my siblings and I were growing up in the late 50's,60's,he would sit back in the den listening to 'chairman of the board'
One yr for my dad's birthday,I bought tickets to go with him to see Frank at Memorial Auditorium{no longer exists} in downtown Buffalo. I think it was in '74,when Frank was touring the country,back then I paid $50 for the tickets. Unfortuantely,the seats were way up near the rafters,we couldn't see him but we certainly could hear him.Dad was really po'd I got ripped off considering I was told they were good seats.
When my dad died in '96,couple months later I started to enjoy Frank's music. I have 2 of his CD"s,"Best of the Best',my favorite'Ol BLue Eyes is Back'. Whenever I play them I think of my dad who was born the day after Frank,Dec 13th Sue

Of course I grew up being aware of Frank Sinatra. He was hot before I was born, and seemed to stay hot! Even though the Beatles, and the Stones were mainly my thing, I remember all the older pop music and rock n roll my parents played daily either on radio or on the "hi-fi" when I was small. Sinatra was one that stood out for me.
I couldn't understand why the old teenage girls had swooned over him, such a small, skinny guy. Until I really saw his eyes and learned to listen to his voice.
Does anyone doubt that Ronan Farrow is truly Frank and Mia Farrow's son?

That song was based on a classical piece by Rachmaninoff. I remember having to learn a watered down version of that as a piano lesson.
