Great follow, though I'd rather hear 'That's Life'
A little hammy, but still solid Frank.

D'oh...beat me to it! I couldn't remember Brian McGee. |

There's a song about that, but saying he was never called that. |

Can someone point me to Sinatra I should check out if I want to hear him at his best?
That depends on what mood you are looking for:
Melancholy, lost love: Only the Lonely, Where Are you
Fun, swinging: Songs For Swinging Lovers, Swinging Sessions and more
In Between: Nice N Easy |

I'm not an immense fan of his, because I think he (and Ella Fitzgerald; sorry if I offend) sing without feeling, but this is a great song.

Fly Me To The Moon, They Can't Take That Away From Me--older upbeat stuff, basically. it might not make any sense unless you've heard other singers doing really lifeless versions, to contrast. :-) |

An appropriate song for the Autumnal Equinox that is upon us... a song of wistful remembrances, "Now the days are short, I'm in the Autumn of my years...."
Good DJ-ing, Bill! Thank you!

I know most of Porter and Gershwin by heart (I even try singing it) but I always preferred other covers of the "classics." This just might be my favorite FS song - but what a radical dose of nostalgia for RP. I gotta dig it.

I can't help but picture that SNL skit where Phil Hartman plays Sinatra and beats up Bono (Played by Sandler I believe) and then throws a couple hundred dollars at him to get himself cleaned up.

This song started and I was like, WTF? And then I was like, cool, always cool to hear ol' blue eyes. And then a second later I was like all, WTF? again. And then I was like, well, I'll just sit back and enjoy it.

A song like this, explains why Sinatra found Elvis some sort of yokel, who he just couldn't appreciate, not even if he wanted to. By that time he was already so far above all the rest, that it didn't bother him.
