I grew up listening to my parents play Frank Sinatra,Dean Martin, Marty Robbins,  Glen Campbell Perry Como just to name a few and I love them and listen to them as well as the 80's and 90's I listened to. I have a very eclectic taste when it comes to music.

I saw Frank Sinatra at a restaurant on my first ever trip to Chicago in 1986. He was in town for the re-opening of the Chicago Theatre and at a hotel restaurant. He was laughing at something someone at his table said when I was waiting on a to go order when he noticed me watching him. He just acknowledged me with a nod of his head and kind of waved a hello and went back to his conversation. Not much I realize but a nice memory.

I would've fainted..........

P.S. My daughter is in her early '20s and after we watched "Young at Heart," she had a crush on Frankie BABY.

I also grew up listening to Frank Sinatra. I remember hearing he frequented the Clam Broth House in Hoboken, NJ and as often as I went there with my parents, we never did see him. My father’s favorite song was “Strangers in the Night” and I can still remember him singing it.

@Newgate  -  I love hearing Frank Sinatra sing, "The Way You Look Tonight."  I think that's such a classy, beautiful song!  I'm in my mid 40's and love to hear him sing, he had so many great songs.

My dad was a Sinatra fan since he was a teen and would go see him at small, local theatres in NYC.  My dad's name was also Frank, and although he couldn't carry a tune, when I hear Sinatra singing, I feel like my dad is in the room with me.  "The Way You Look Tonight" is my favorite Sinatra song.

DOes anyone remember the Battle of the Baritones----Bing vs, Frank,  I was on Sundays.

Older people favored Bing---younger Frankie----naturally.

Remember it well, and long for those times...

Yes. I saw him sing. My favorites are All the Way, Strangers in the Night, My Way, and New York, New York. Ha, I also saw Eddie Fisher sing and never forgot when he sang Get Your Paper and had a newspaper in his hand. I was young and always thought that was funny.

I remember the Paramount. I remember the Brooklyn Paramount and Brooklyn Fox. All the shows, and all the rock and roll shows and the D.J.'s from the radio. The submarine race watchers etc.. Had so much fun.

Thanks, I enjoyed this walk down memory lane.

It Was a Very Good Year.

I was only five years old when it was released but it made an impression.

For those who are fans of Sinatra, Davis, Crosby and Martin, if you haven't seen Robin and the 7 Hoods (1964), please check it out.
