Frank Sinatra - The Man and His Music (1981) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)...and "Thanks For The Memories" to you Mr. Frank Sinatra! Great production values plus Frank in excellent form make tremendous music event the Ultimate Sinatra performance from his mature years and his last solo Television Special and one of his all-time finest! Having read a few of the really tired reviews about this incredibly great special, I felt it was time...forget those who think that this legend was only great in his early years and open up to one of the most wonderfully soulful performances ever from a major legendary icon...anyone that I have played this wondrous special for has gone out and purchased it! From the opening "Nice "N" Easy", it is clear that Sinatra is in top form vocally and at his soulful best. "The One I Love" is a romp and "Pennies From Heaven" with Count Basie is infectious and has never sounded finer. Deeply emotive in the moody "I Loved Her" mades this classic one to play back over and over again and "The Girl From Ipanema" with Tony Mottola on guitar is so fine and it is fascinating to watch these two masters at the top of their game. Brooding and again deeply soulful in George Harrison's "Something" make this a memorable performance of this classic and "Monday Morning Quarterback" continues this mood and is another great vocal and a beautifully moving performance. A definitive version of the standard "The Best Is Yet To Come" is infectious and a catchy single release "(We Had A) Good Thing Going" would have been a hit in better musical times than the bland mid-eighties, and Sinatra clearly is having the time of his life with the exhuberant "Say Hello". Never has anyone come close to Sinatra's classic reading of "I Get A Kick Out Of You" and this stellar version is magnificent as is the soulfully sung "New York, New York" which is also a joy to see Frank sing with Liza and Sammy in the great VHS concert "The Ultimate Event" which is exactly that and this is another masterpiece that should have been released on DVD long ago...makes one wonder where are the heads of these marketing morons...little wonder the music industry is suffering from declining sales and the closing of major chains! Closing this classic and spectacular special is a moving "Thanks For The Memory" and this version is as good as it gets...if you love Sinatra, don't miss this incomparable special! Thank you Ole' Blue Eyes for the best in music and entertainment for so many very good years!!!!!
