    Jeff Neis…..You are so so so right…. I think it’s also worth remembering that the funds he donated to the charities of his choice , were given with a genuine heart and not solely to take advantage of the tax breaks - unlike most of the “hollywood” types today , done to support their “image “ . And most of all, he devoted huge amounts of his TIME to raise funds and to raise a billion dollars as he did , took time, hard work , devotion and selflessness. He was the real deal of a man . Thank you for reminding me , all of us , of that . Best wishes.

    Super great piece!!!! Never saw this before. FIRST!!! FRANK IS NOT 80 HERE!!!! Read the comments below. From January 1989. Frank was 73. He would turn 74 on Dec 15 of that year. Frank at 73 was still very much near top form. At 80 he had dementia and a heart condition etc. It's absolutely wonderful to see the other greats still enjoying themselves at an event.. Look around,,, Gregory Peck, John Forsythe, Charliton Heston, Rickles, Lloyd Bridges, Ella still singing. Amazing evening. We may never see people and talent like this come our way again. Greats with decades long careers. Class and dignity with devotion and admiration to a fellow. entertainer. Wow a reminder of almost all of the greats have passed on... Clips like this are a cherished reminder of different times not long ago that people can like each other despite political or personal feeling. Miss all these greats!!!!! Great piece!!! Cherish this and watch when down and send to friends!!!

    You really did miss something fob, I managed to see him live twice. The first time he was already 65 years old...I acquired the tickets by fluke on the day he was appearing at the Buffalo auditorium. I went home told my wife that he would probably be an embarrassment on the stage by then, but that I had always liked his singing and was glad to have the tickets. Needless to say, he was magnificent, he opened with "I've got you under my skin" and I couldn't believe the power and clarity in his voice. I sat there literally in awe thinking what a fool I had been to doubt talent such as this. I kept telling myself...That's why he's Frank.

    As much as I enjoy seeing this - it’s hard for those of us that cherish this greatest of all generations of entertainers that the majority of them are long gone. Some of them much too soon. To those who love to criticize Sinatra for the aspects of his life that weren’t great - there was more that that man did in one lifetime to leave behind a massively positive impact than most people could have done in several. He cherished his friends and family, he was good to those who helped him when no one would give him the time of day, and for each act of charitable work that we know of - there were ten more than went unpublished. We sure do miss you Francis Albert…

    a quick but sad note ,regarding Frank Jr. as a child little Frank Jr. was very shy.. introverted....and unfortunately did not get the attention from his famous dad that the two girls Nancy and Tina. received ...he grew up devoted to music and became a more than adequate singer and music historian...who performed and gained respect in his field..from other musicians... he conducted the final 2 years of his dad's shows.....and died at 72 from a heart attack...a non-smoker drinker partier... unlike his dad who outlived him by 10 years and his mom who lived to be over 100..... it is not easy to be a son of a famous man and certainly trying to find your way as a singer when your father is considered the greatest pop singer in musical history is hardly possible and that was the tragedy for the shy little boy who grew up never to be acknowledged as anyone but the son...of Frank Sinatra....

    09:48 If anyone doesn't get the Dan Rather reference... This event took place in 1989. Three years earlier, Dan Rather was brutally assaulted by two well-dressed men who staked him out in his own neighborhood in New York. It was reported as a case of mistaken identity, although Rather was one of the most recognizable people in America. The two dapper dressers didn't bother robbing Rather, and they were never caught. Frank's joke here is essentially, "Yeah, I ordered it." Har-dee-har-har, laughed his friends. What did Rather do to offend Frank? Who knows.

    Congratulations, you have waited 22 years to share a falsehood and to try and smear Frank Sinatra’s legacy. It was in 1997 a year before this ward ceremony that the real person had confessed. He is serving a long sentence for murder. He took a lie detector test and the NYC police feel the case was solved. His name was Mr. Tager. So, during the award ceremony Mr. Sinatra had a laugh with others knowing that he had been suspected and was cleared a year before. That Is The Joke..SHAME ON YOU

    @@Shakespeare1623 Frank's legacy, along with being the world's greatest singer of popular songs, is also one of having his goons "take care" of his perceived enemies, or those who just weren't appropriately respectful. Frank had no problem with people thinking that. Just in case anyone wasn't aware of Frank's thug connections, he'd have his opening act flunky Don Rickles regale his audience with Mafia jokes before Frank came out, the most overutilized being, "Did you know Frank saved my life? It's true! He said, 'okay, guys, that's enough.'" We got it. Nobody knew at the time of this award- 1989, not 1994 as the title shows, nor 1998, as you seem to think- who the assailant was, including Frank. But Frank clearly wanted to give the impression it could have been just another of his hits, and I don't mean songs. That was the joke that went over your head. And frankly, that's not exactly like climbing Mt. Everest.

    Hamilton is better known for his tan than his acting, but he actually is a talented man. His performance as Hank Williams in "You're Cheatin' Heart" (1964) is recommended for anyone who doesn't know why he became a star, but his biggest hit was the very funny (if a bit dated) spoof "Love at First Bite" (1979), which is much better than the later Mel Brooks-Leslie Nielsen take "Dracula Dead and Loving It" (1995).
