Frank Sinatra Fan Page of TheFrankSinatra.com on Facebook is now live!
With more than 800 million users, Facebook is impossible to ignore by any company or website as it helps to reach more people in a more efficient way. TheFrankSinatra.com has Frank Sinatra Fan Page as well, but for a different purpose. While this website is mainly for sharing information, Facebook Fan Page is only for sharing videos of Frank Sinatra performances. Since 1st of January 2011, Frank Sinatra Fan Page has reached 1.500 people and helped people to watch more than 130 performances of Sinatra, some rare some common. From now on, I will post daily videos from 60+ different concerts everyday, and they will always be at least very good performances.

Wondering if you can help me find a Sinatra Video I just love. It was on youtube but now I can not seem to find it–so I am not sure if they took it off. It was a video of him doing a live performance of ” One more for my baby”. I belive it was from a 1971 show. The video starts out with him saying somthing like–“this otta make em cry”. He then also jokes about this is his great dramatic moment and then says–“you may laugh—you may very well laugh” Then he starts the song. I am hoping someone can repost this to youtube again…….!!
You may laugh, you may very well laugh. I remember this, gonna find and post it in 1-2 days.
Great—Thank you!
This is the one you are looking for, without the “You May Laugh” part before the song

You are welcome 🙂
Btw, if you want the version with the chat before the song, i can mail it to you. Don’t prefer uploading them as it is against copyright laws.
This was from the Sinatra at Royal Festival Hall 1971 dvd.
Wow that was strange. I just wrote an very long comment but after I clicked submit my comment didn’t appear. Grrrr… well I’m not writing all that over again.
Anyway, just wanted to say excellent blog!
What was the song title, and album title, where as the song ended, the accompanying music was faded out, and Frank made funny comments about this new fad of fading popular records out. He didn’t like coming trend. John
The song was Ya Better Stop. This is available on the Sinatra Capitol Rarities or The Complete Sinatra Singles 3 cd collection.
Hello, my father in law has a clock that was owned by Frank Sinatra and I can’t find anywhere what the value of this would be. So if anyone knows please holler.
An Afternoon with Frank Sinatra
Anna Celenza / Georgetown University
December 06, 2015 Shafler Forum – 7 West 83rd Street, NYC – see http://www.onedayu.com
2:00 PM – 4:00 PM
Frank Sinatra gave 20th-century America a voice. Through his music, stage shows, films and abashedly public private life, he offered audiences a vision of the “American Dream” that contrasted greatly with the suburban ideal of the hardworking man. Sinatra was entirely in tune with his audiences’ needs and desires. But this isn’t what made him great.
As this lecture demonstrates, Sinatra’s name lives on because of his distinctive musical style. His phrasing and tone, the timbre of his voice: these are the qualities that set him apart. Using numerous musical examples, Anna Celenza traces the origins of the famous “Sinatra Sound” and reveals how, over the last half century, it has influenced a disparate array of musical styles and genres that make up the kaleidoscopic nature of today’s American soundtrack.
Anna Celenza is the Thomas E. Caestecker Professor of Music at Georgetown University. She is the author of several books, including “Music as Cultural Mission: Explorations of Jesuit Practices in Italy and North America.” Her current research project is a book in progress titled “Jazz Italian Style.” In addition to her scholarly work, she has served as a writer/commentator for NPR’s Performance Today and published eight award-winning children’s books. She has been featured on nationally syndicated radio and TV programs, including the BBC’s “Music Matters.”
Did anyone see the film in which Frank played piano and sang either Only The Lonely or One For My Baby ?
Richard Widmark was in the film and also I think Ida Lupino. I saw the film and am just trying to remember the title…”Jefty’s Roadhouse” ?.
