Interesting that you posted this link. I used to do Frank all the time at Karaoke. A friend of mine put on the show at a local gay resort. Often times he would call me up to finish the show with the following. It's my favorite of all. Enjoy!

Thanks for this, Louis!!! Yes, I do love Sinatra. . . .
In musical terms, he really didn't have the greatest VOICE (it was a little harsh, and grating, at times): but he was possessed of such superb
musicianship, phrasing, and rhythmic sensibility. . . he made many a cheap little tune from Tin Pan Alley, into an anthem, for the ages.
As a human being. . . he was an alcoholic, often surly, and sometimes violent. He had (and courted) numbers of bad, and nefarious, and dangerous, friends. He failed at love, MANY times. And just wasn't the best guy on earth, in so many ways. AND YET. . . there are countless stories about how, when some poor, struggling, back-up singer or second-string saxophonist was in hospital. . . Sinatra would come and say "hi", to cheer them up. . . and pay the bill, on the way out the door.
Fascinating man, Louis. Great music, too.
"A" XOXOXOXOXOXO
P.S. I always play this one, when I think of all the nice things JASON has done for me, and all the happy times I've had, here on

P.P.S. And this is the song that runs through my head, while I am missing Mr. K., at 4:00 a.m. (Many critics believe this album to be one of the finest, recorded in the 20th century. . . .)
