There were a lot of great crooners, Frank was just one of the smoothest people, definition of cool. Bing, Dean, Frank, Andy, just loads of great voices back then.

Sinatra was a master of being able to phrase a song. He knew how to split up the words of a song to make them more meaningful, fit the rhythm, and really improve the overall experience. He could make an OK song good, a good song great, and a great song a classic. He didn’t have the greatest range, but he more than made up for it as a genius at musical expression.

I've been helping take care of my 95 year old grandpa one day a week, and we sit and listen to old LPs. Really blowing my mind how good they are. Patti Page, Patsy Cline, Frank, Gene Autry. Those generations of the 1900s made some amazing music.

Ella Fitzgerald, Billie Holiday, Bing Crosby, Nat King Cole, Louis Armstrong, Dean Martin, Sammy Davis Jr...there are sooooo many amazing singers from those days. Growing up in the 80s and 90s, my parents mostly listened to the Beatles, Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin, Bob Dylan, Queen, Michael Jackson, Madonna, Janet, Whitney, Celine Dion, etc., but as teenagers in the 90s/early 2000s, my siblings and I were listening to...well...everything we could get our hands on!

6:00 Brad. My Dude. This is called humor. The song has a positive message, but isn't taking itself seriously. It's not advocating, it's not preaching, it's just expressing with a dash of humor.

Now you're really going back and Lex says she has some more? Cannot wait. I wonder if Frankie Valli & the 4 seasons is in Lex's music catalog?
Sinatra was a rare talent. To this day, he is still easily recognized by his nickname, "Ole Blues Eyes".

I've loved Frank Sinatra for as long as I can remember. He always sets the mood for whatever you are looking for. Thx for sharing his music. This excellence should not be lost.
Oooh. Getting into Jazz and Blues is a great journey. So many great songs and messages out there. If you would like to dip your toes with a happier tune, try "Blue Skies" by Ella Fitzgerald or "Smile" by Nat King Cole. Also, one of the best songs IMHO to snuggle in a rainy day would be "Isn't This A Lovely Day" by Ella and Louis.
You can tell immediately when it went south for Brad just by the look of disappointment on his face 🤣 He was all in till the end. 😂😂😂 ... what about August?
Sounds like Lex's parents had some great taste in music. Lex, get Brad on a steady diet of classic jazz and blues and it won't be long before he'll find himself with a playlist of this "old" sounding music.

They recorded the first take of this song, and Sinatra ended it with “Oh yeah!” The producer asked him to record another take. Sinatra was known as “One-Take Sinatra” because he could come in and nail a song on the first take. Having to record another take annoyed him, so he sang the second take with a bit of attitude in his voice, and ended it with a defiant “My my!” directed towards the producer. The second take is the famous one and why he has so much attitude in his singing.
@thomastimlin1724
2 жыл бұрын
Then the producer did him a favor. Instead of TELLING" him to sing with attitude, [Which may have caused Sinatra to walk out as he was often known to be easily annoyed at any given moment] he MADE him sing with attitude by saying "We need a second take". Perhaps it was accidental genius, but worth it. Plus, "My, my" rhymes better with "July" than "Oh Yeh."

Lex is so fun. I heard this song for the first time watching License To Drive with one of the Coreys and it started my love of all things things Frank. I do think this is his best song.
Love Frank Sinatra. Was my dirty little secret in my 20s. Used to listen to his greatest hits everywhere I went. DO THEM ALL!

Here is what I like about how the two of you balance out each other. Brad, you are a cognitive person and think deeply into a song's messages and lyrics. therefore, if a song message is a little weird, sad, upsetting, you tend to interpret that message inwardly deeply making it a little harder to enjoy the whole theme. I know because sometimes music effects me this way too. Lex on the underhand hears the same lyrics, but playfully handles them and able to enjoy a little more freedom in music expression. At times I do get in this mood especially with awesome instruments or voices in the song. That said: Lex loves you and laughs along with some of your expressions. You balance each out very well. And both of you add an enjoyable take on music. Keep the video's coming.

Frank Sinatra! He did everything! Loved his Vegas acts with “the rat pack”. Dean Martin, Sammy Davis Jr, Joey Bishop. Check it out!
💙 ol' blue eyes 💓 my Grams loved Frank Sinatra 💃 Great taste Ms. Lex ☕
you have to check out The Summer Wind by Frank good song
Plenty of folks have great singing voices but the genius of Frank is the delivery, the timing.
Old blue eyes, what a legendary voice. David Lee Roth, the original singer of Van Halen, did a pretty good cover of this song in the late '80s.
Great song! I sang Sinatra to my daughter all through my wife's pregnancy. Gotta love Sinatra.
This is one of Sinatra’s finest songs. He really was peerless. It’s nice that you appreciate how great he was.
The master the best ever nobody better than him. The Voice.
"They can't take that away from me." The song that demonstrates how great he was on vocals. It's only 2 minutes long though, so you'll have lots of discussion time after.
My dad had All Sinatra's albums. My mom had the old Motorola in the kitchen...and we listened (and learned how to dance with momma in that kitchen.) Sinatra, Saatchmo, Bing, Andrews Sisters. Cab Calloway, Mario Lonza... I feel those memories as sacred.
I love how Brad looks a little stunned, while Lex is just so happy.
I just love her reaction, priceless, I mean it.
Screw other people. Keep doing your thing, you guys are great. Now back to Frank, listen to "Fly Me To The Moon". You WILL love it.
I could listen to Frank nonstop all day.

Lex couldn't contain herself during this video clip. Her reaction was so darling. Brad you did great on the analogy of the song.
You DO bring joy to the world!! Music unites in a divided world. Keep smiling you guys...that's life!!
You guys keep doing your thing. I’m 60, this played in my house as a kid. As a grown man, I’m still listening too him. This song is the Truth !!!
I grew up listening to the same type of music and my grandma use to always sing this song when she was upset so this song and music always pops in my head 💜
Love this song so much, def one of my favorites from sinatra
It may be cliché to say it, but Frank had a hell of a voice!
Life's also a kick in the head - Dean Martin, fellow Ratpacker, - "Ain't that a Kick in the Head".
The Chairman of the Board!! I’ve been a huge Sinatra fan for almost my entire 42 years of life. My kids grew up on his music as well. I started them on Sinatra, Miles Davis, and John Coltrane.
For a fun one. Sinatra's Rubber Tree Plant. - Recommend for some smiles and maybe a giggle. My kids memorized that one.
Since you are being so genre fluid, I highly recommend Johnny Cash, One piece at a time or A boy named Sue.
Brad, respect to you for enjoying this and enjoying the message. You need to get past this thing of 'modern' music. It's just all music. You can just bump whatever you want. Just enjoy what you enjoy and don't worry about what people think. Listen to the instruments, that incredible voice of his and let it transport you. Get out of this hip hop bubble. (PS I like hip hop, so it's not a criticism)

it's so great to hear you kids listen to songs I grew up listening to......LOVE IT
Girl your energy is so infectious 💯😂👍
I love Frank! It sends a chill up my spine because they use this song at the end of Joker.
This was Sinatra's follow up to his #1 hit Strangers In The Night". And it scored pretty well, too, making it to #4. Remember this was the mid-60's where the charts were dominated by rock and roll and soul.
Cool, Lex digs Ol’ Blue Eyes! Me too! I grew up watching old Hollywood classics so I got to know this kind of music. Do you guys know Frank Capra movies like It’s A Wonderful Life and Mr. Smith Goes To Washington? They have very valuable messages for our time.
I used to bump Frank and Dean Martin a lot back when I worked in this warehouse in the hood. Maaaan, let me tell you bro, the amount of people you'll get just walking by stopping to listen, dancing, singing along, the amount of Haitians that just wanna chill and jam -- shiiiiit, you can for sure bump this today and get appreciation.
Lex your smile and heart is infectious!

Francis Albert Sinatra (/sɪˈnɑːtrə/; December 12, 1915 - May 14, 1998) was an American singer and actor who is generally perceived as one of the greatest musical artists of the 20th century. He is one of the best-selling music artists of all time, having sold an estimated 150 million records worldwide.
Lex is absolutely lovely.
Mr Sinatra simply the Voice…A man A mic an attitude a great band ..Ol’ Blue Eyes…a Legend
you two are great. She is giving you an education on Frank love it.........
David Lee Roth covered this song in his album Eat 'Em And Smile, and he did change the ending so it's a bit more uplifting ... I'd say, check that version out sometime :)
I am laughing so hard at Lex positively JAMMING to this song. You two remind me so much of my wife and me. It's adorable to watch, thank you!
This is the music my parents played when I was younger. Then they had to listen to my music. Sometimes they would saw NO! Now I see what is was like. I enjoy their old 78’s that I’ve kept all these years. I even bought an old Victrola that has the heavy cartridge to play them.
“The world we knew” is my favorite frank sinatra song
The reaction to the ending and the juxtaposition between Brad and Lex appreciation of the ending is freaking amazing.
I love the lady in these reactions. She is SMART and quick and ... well, a bit bonkers. She is funny. You never know what is gonna come out of her brain.
Chairman of the Board. Saw Sinatra in concert several times when I lived in Cali. His vocalizing was impeccable. Soulful crooner with a big band sound sprinkled with intimate nuances of melancholy.
Lovely and emotional reaction of Lex 👍👍👍👏👏👏👏
Great song!! I agree with Lex, this song does say it all!!
my lights dim then brighten when I listen to Frank😇 it’s my Grandmother’s spirit 🙏 she loves Sinatra 💕
"Some people get their kicks stomping on a dream" well it is an anthem of sooooooooooo many people on all social media for a few years now.
Frank Sinatra, "Frankie"! A Legend, part of the famous "Rat Pack". Cool that you guys are doing Sinatra. Funny story about Sinatra, he was always thought to have Mob connections, and in the Godfather movie in 1970s there is a character named Johnny Fontaine. Johnny Fontaine asked the Godfather to intervene in a movie producers decision to use another actor instead of Johnny in this Big movie to come out. Have you seen the Godfather movie, and if so do you recall the scene in the beginning, when Johnny comes to the Godfathers daughters wedding to ask the favor? It was always thought this scene was based on a real life event with Johnny Fontaine actually being Frank Sinatra, and the Godfather in the movie was real life Mob Boss Sam Giancana,.. many to this day say it was absolutely true!
Watching Lex loving this song makes me love it even more. As far as the ending, the whole point of the song (as you both mentioned) is the ups and downs of life-good or bad, we soldier on. And though the line is "roll up in a big ball and die," it's followed by a cynical "My, my!" Meaning you may feel that way in the moment-just like you did back in May-but as always, you'll soldier on. Cause that's Life.😋 I find it very inspirational, and comforting.
