Sinatra's Final Major Interview - Larry King Live - May 13, 1988

Музыка

Here, from my collection of personally recorded videos, is the full May 13, 1988 Larry King interview (It says March 13 on the screen in error) with Ol' Blue Eyes himself, the one and only Frank Sinatra as repeated on December 26, 1997 in honor of Frank's then recent 82nd birthday. As Sinatra rarely gave interviews, this one turned out to be his final major one. Enjoy!

    I was 21 when I did his home alarm in 1980 in Holmbly Hills while working for Westec Security. I told him he was the greatest singer I had ever heard and he laughed because I was so young. Took us 2 weeks to finish his system and I spoke to him many times in that 2 weeks. When we finished he asked me to come back that weekend because he wanted to show me some things. He couldn't get over a kid knowing so much about him I guess. I went back the following Saturday morning shaking as i entered his home. He spent 4 hours showing me memorabilia from his entire career. I got there about 10am and we finished about 2. Then he asked if I was hungry and if I wanted to go to lunch with him. His son drove and we went to La Dolce Vita, his favorite place.Signed a napkin for my dad. Best fucking day in my life.

    I am a black man. What this wonderful human being did for civil rights is so under reported and trivialized. Without Frank Sinatra refusing to perform in places that did not admit Sammy Davis jr. ( a negro entertainer) to stay in white hotels. Frank in my opinion was an abolitionist in his own right. God bless you Mr. Sinatra. I love who you were and what you stood for. R.I.P my brother. You are gone, but NEVER Forgotten.

    So glad you brought this up. Frank was not perfect, far from it, but he hated prejudice; it didn't make sense to him. Furthermore, he stood behind his convictions at a time when it was risky to do so. Frank knew he was on the right side of history. Sometimes it takes guts to do the right thing....and Mr. Sinatra had guts.

    Judging from the comments, some people have a very negative impression of Frank Sinatra. I thought that Larry King did a masterful job of putting Frank at ease and bringing out his best qualities. Sinatra showed honesty, humility and civility throughout the interview. It's really a shame that Martin Scorsese's plan for a Sinatra film biography will probably never be made. Though he was not a perfect man, Frank Sinatra lived a fascinating life and was a true American icon.

    Your comment is partly true. He experienced more than almost any other performer, but he was often a despicable human. PS, He made fun of Sammy's "blackness" as part of his comedy routine every night. He treated Sammy like a third class citizen. Sammy was just a prop to Frank, so I wouldn't make him out to be some great civil rights leader.

    I am so thankful I got to see him live in Vegas. It was in the late 80s. My girlfriend at the time got tickets as a surprise. We drove from CA. We were in our late 20s but both were huge fans. It was first come-first served random seating so I folded a fifty dollar bill and palmed it in the hand of the guy seating us. He sat us at a table right down front. I could put my elbow on the stage. They were the best seats in the house and I didn't know if a fifty would be enough, but it was. That was a fairly good tip in the late 80s. He put on such a great show. It's a memory I cherish.

Maybe she was playing favorites. She went to the Chanticlear (sp?) nightclub one night and Bing stepped on her gown and tore it. He was the perfect gentleman about it. He gave her his dinner jacket to help her to her room where she changed gowns and offered to pay for the expense of fixing it or replacing it.

    I imagine Sinatra and his generation are "rolling over in their graves" to see our country today and it's lack of a positive direction. They were great people that grew up the hard way, most served their country in war, got out and with great integrity and character from those struggles went on to achieve milestones. I think they were lucky to live during a time of amazing growth in our country. Sinatra was looked up to, as an example. Rags to riches.

Dean was exactly the same way off stage as on. Frank would walk very fast and by the time somebody recognized him, he was gone. Frank was a very serious entertainer.

    The height of Sinatra's career was well before my time, but my parents always listened to him when I was growing up and have always been huge Sinatra fans. I wasn't exactly a fan of that style of music as a kid in the 80s and 90s, but now, at 40 years old, I'm a huge fan. It's kind of funny because hearing his music almost makes me nostalgic for an era when I wasn't even alive and never even experienced. I guess it's probably because we're living in such chaotic and depressing times these days.

    Probably like mamy of us, i found this Video after watching Netflix documentary. What crushes my heart is the look in Frank eyes - It perfectly reflects his awarness of years that passed. Especially when he says that noone invites him to interviews or movies. I think singing was like a part od his soul and body. Saying goodbye to part of Yourself must be devastating. He and Freddie Mercury are the artists i miss the most. I Hope Frank You have a beautiful audience somewhere. We love Your voice and miss You

    When this first came out, Frank sounded like and out of touch relic. But now he sounds like an statesman with an admirable work ethic and classical values. In short, he works hard and people's personal life is private.. He calls people who write about people who achieve greatness parasites. He has a point, despite the metaphor. There is a dignity in expecting private lives. The performance is all the performer owes the world.

    there will never be another Frank Sinatra in American history & we’re lucky we had him as long as we did. I always imagine the final hospital visit from Rickles he got must’ve been a bittersweet moment for both men, as Frank would expire soon after, but we know Rickles didn’t let a little thing like ‘a great friend dying’ get in the way of ripping him a fresh one. that meeting was one of Norm Macdonald’s favorite celeb stories of his career, so we also know it was epic. Rickles was working with Saget & Norm on ‘Dirty Work’ at that time. RiP Frank, Rickles, Norm & Saget. it blows horses that they’re gone, but it’s a blessing that we have all the art they created & left for us to enjoy…all of them & all of it.

I listen to my Frank Sinatra records late at night so I don't wake up my wife and my kids and I can tell you Frank Sinatra was the greatest singer who ever lived better than Elvis Presley better than anybody. On top of his incredible vocal Talent and his incredible acting Talent he was also an amazing music conductor and anybody who is criticizing Frank Sinatra for being not as good as Elvis are not as good as whoever don't know what they're talking about all they have to do is listen to those old Frank Sinatra Capitol pressings and the answer is there it's undeniable Frank Sinatra had such control of his voice he wasn't a success because of his so cold connections he was a success because he was the best damn singer that God put on this Earth

    Sinatra was a hugely talented singer and rightly regarded as one of the best crooners of popular music. He was a capable actor and certainly a lot better than many singers who tried their hand in Hollywood films. Where opinions differ is to identify the best years of his singing career, which of course is subjective. Personally, I think the years from the mid 40’s to the mid 50’s were his best. He was respected in the entertainment world but his edginesss, and sometimes arrogance and bluster didn’t endear him to many people. He found it difficult to take criticism but then I imagine that applies to all of us. However, his stye of singing was unique and he influenced a whole generation of singers. Hall of fame? Yes!
