Sad Songs of Frank Sinatra

Originally published in the June 2006 issue

I’m not graceful about life. I have absolutely fallen in. I Should Be bold, really, because I eat so much.

My brother died when I was thirteen and my family just disbanded. My parents are Irish, and they began to drink, and my father could not work again. We felt His heart just broke. He died at 58, after a series of heart attacks. So I started auditioning. I felt I needed to pull my own weight.

When I married Frank Sinatra, my father had recently died, and he said just fifty now, and the people, “Oh, you’re looking for a father.” It’s hard for me, uh to deny or confirm. But what I tell you that he was the coolest, nicest, sexiest man. I do not think that there are many women of all ages, he might have resistance. He was utterly charming. Absolutely adorable. Then one can be happy to speak to my father – he was not like my father.

One can not a complete man-woman relationship without sex.

I do not know how everything feels slippery. I just do not like the feeling of ice or snow, such as where you just slip. I do not like the feeling I would fall going.

When I was nine, I got polio. And I was on the safety of my family in a different world, hit the Los Angeles General Hospital wing for contagious diseases. It was in the middle of the polio epidemic. I was shown sickness, and uncertainty, pain, even death. Then I was released and back in my life from the deleted, and I never felt quite the same. It made me feel that I need to Sad Songs a meaningful life, and that was very definitely have the family I was formed to find. I have ten children, most of theme with special needs, including a son who is a paraplegic as a result of polio accepted. I know this is my way of addressing, in a way over and over.

It is that which can not be taken from us, we can measure that.

I sneezed when I was about my mantra. I have terrible hay fever, and you need to present these flowers. As the Maharishi said my mantra, I sneezed. I said, “Excuse me I do not think I Heard you in the right place?”. But he would not repeat. I know that from day one, I do not know Sad Songs if I’m doing it right.

According to the Maharishi, I started hitchhiking across India. I moved everything from  lady gaga songs my bank and only Gave It All Away. And then I thought: Well, is useless, “now, because I’m poor too, so I went back to work..

I would respect someone and not at their expense.

You do not want to marry your son’s son’s father, your sister, you know? This is bad for Sad Songs family values.

If you are a baby drowning in a lake, you have a moral obligation to pull the child? Well, almost everyone Sad Songs would say, yes. But what if the lake a mile away? What if there is a continent away? I think helplessness is not an option. There are always things we can do.At the very least, you could go and write your letter savedarfur.org.

Frank Sinatra’s 1963 Playboy Magazine Interview

Frank Sinatra’s February 1963 Playboy Magazine Interview, Part 1 of 3
By: Joe Hyams
————————————————————————————————————
Playboy: Frank, in the 20 years since you left the Tommy Dorsey band to make your name as a solo singer, you’ve deepened and diversified your talents with a variety of concurrent careers in related fields. But so far none of these aptitudes and activities has succeeded in eclipsing your gifts as a popular vocalist. So why don’t we begin by examining Sinatra, the singer?

Sinatra: OK, deal.

Playboy:Many explanations have been offered for your unique ability–apart from the subtleties of style and vocal equipment–to communicate the mood of a song to an audience. How would you define it?

Sinatra: I think it’s because I get an audience involved, personally involved in a song–because I’m involved myself. It’s not something I do deliberately; I can’t help myself. If the song is a lament at the loss of love, I get an ache in my gut, I feel the loss myself and I cry out the loneliness, the hurt and the pain that I feel.

Playboy: Doesn’t any good vocalist “feel” a song? Is there such a difference…  Continue reading

Frank Sinatra My Way

interview with Frank Sinatra

Francis Albert Sinatra was born of Sicilian ancestry on December 12, 1915, in Hoboken, New Jersey. As a youngster, he had visions of a sportswriting career and worked briefly as a copy boy for a local newspaper.

However, that ambition was short-lived once Frank Sinatra heard the unique music styles of Billie Holiday and Bing Crosby. He decided to pursue a singing career and teamed with a local group called the Hoboken Four. When the quartet broke up after only a brief time together, the young singer took the solo route and toured the vaudeville circuit. In 1937 Sinatra landed a job as a singing MC at the Rustic Cabin, a fabled roundhouse in Englewood, New Jersey.

His talent attracted Harry James, who hired Sinatra to sing with his orchestra, and on July 13, 1939, two weeks after his debut as a big band vocalist at the Hippodrome Theatre in Baltimore, Sinatra cut his first disc, “From The Bottom of My Heart” b/w “Melancholy Mood,” with the orchestra.

With his recording of “All or Nothing at All” on August 31, 1939, as well as his later debut as a band singer, Frank Sinatra changed the face of popular music in America and paved the way for others. Of the ten sides he recorded with James “All or Nothing at All” was the biggest, selling just over 8,000 copies upon release. In 1943, when Sinatra and James had both become national figures, it was re-released and became the first of Sinatra’s many million-sellers, hitting #2 on the charts. Continue reading

Frank Sinatra – That’s Life

Frank Sinatra

Francis Albert Sinatra (born December 12, 1915 in Hoboken, New Jersey; died May 14, 1998 in Los Angeles, California) was an Italian American Grammy Award winning jazz singer, Academy Award winning actor, founder of Reprise Records and member of The Rat Pack. Beginning his musical career in the Swing Era along with Harry James and Tommy Dorsey, Sinatra became a highly successful solo artist, releasing 59 studio albums and becoming the idol of the ‘bobby soxers’. Sinatra was the recipient of eleven Grammy Awards, including the Grammy Trustees Award, Grammy Legend Award and the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award. Sinatra was also honored at the Kennedy Center Honors in 1983 and was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom by Ronald Reagan in 1985, and the Congressional Gold Medal in 1997.

His professional career had stalled by the 1950s, but it was reborn in 1954 after he won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor. He signed with Capitol Records and released several critically lauded albums (such as In the Wee Small Hours, Songs For Swingin’ Lovers, Come Fly With Me, Only the Lonely and Nice ‘n’ Easy). Sinatra left Capitol to found his own record label, Reprise Records (finding success with albums such as Ring-A-Ding-Ding, Sinatra at the Sands and Francis Albert Sinatra & Antonio Carlos Jobim), toured internationally, and fraternized with the Rat Pack and President John F. Kennedy in the early 1960s. Sinatra turned fifty in 1965, recorded the retrospective September of My Years, and scored hits with “Strangers in the Night” and “My Way”. Sinatra attempted to weather the changing tastes in popular music, but with dwindling album sales and after appearing in several poorly received films, he retired in 1971. Coming out of retirement in 1973, he recorded several albums, scoring a hit with “(Theme From) New York, New York”, and toured both within the United States and internationally until a few years before his death in 1998.
