В этот день, 14 мая 1998 года, ушел из жизни американский певец и актер Фрэнк Синатра (1915-1998). Сын итальянских эмигрантов, в сущности, без образования, он сделал успешную кинокарьеру, снимаясь со звездами Голливуда Грейс Келли, Ширли МакЛейн, Дином Мартином и многими другими. Синатра стал первым харизматичным Дэнни Оушеном в фильме 1960 «Одиннадцать друзей Оушена».
Но, если его кинозаслуги несколько затмили сегодняшние звезды, то негромкий голос Синатры не под силу приглушить никому. Именно бархатный голос и гипнотическое обаяние сделали его идолом американской музыкальной культуры. Синглы "It Was a Very Good Year", "Strangers in the Night", "My way" вошли в фонд бессмертной классики песенного жанра.
Композиция "Нью-Йорк, Нью-Йорк" стала новым витком в его карьере, а ее исполнитель – единственным певцом в истории, сумевшим через 50 лет вновь влюбить в себя публику. Песня мгновенно стала супер-хитом и приобрела статус неофициального американского гимна. Синатра исполнял ее с Лайзой Минелли, а его "My way" пели Элвис Пресли, Лучано Паваротти, поют Доминго, Каррерас, Селин Дион, потому что его музыка никогда не выйдет из моды. Она – вне моды. Не верите? Послушайте!

Узнала о его песнях от родителей, которые часто включают сборник и просто наслаждаются хорошей музыкой.Музыка, которую можно слушать дома,в дороге, в дорогом ресторане. Музыка, которую можно слушать когда тебе грусто, весело или вообще просто так!Его голос действительно вне времени, всегда к месту, песни действительно вне моды!Такой голос встречается очень редко!Родители (как говорится) are not good at English) , но они не могут не подпевать:)Как уже стало модным, на него сделали и пытаются делать множество каверов, но так как он ,наверно, уже никто не споет!Вобщем, ЭТО ТО,ЧТО НУЖНО СЛУШАТЬ!
ОтветитьУдалитьaaa))i know him!!)) Frank!!)) but actually my most favorite song is "NY, NY"...it even can describe me in a way... "Start spreading the news, I’m leaving today,I want to be a part of it - New York,.." Actually not today, buuuut....))His romantic and honey voice makes me forget about problems and be apart from this fussy place)
ОтветитьУдалитьThis song is still very popular!..A number of modern singers try to rehash such kind of eternal songs, and i dont think they spoil them..New variants of old songs get new life, new storm of emotions and..
..and "..I wanna wake up in a city, that doesn't sleep..". Hope my dreams soon come true))

I can’t but agree that Frank Sinatra’s music is timeless and has no expiration date. He sang great songs. They are still popular. You can hear them at any time and place, watching a film, or just listening to the radio. By the way, they often sound in new versions. His songs are romantic and full of meaning. His songs move me. They can’t but emotionalize a person. Of course, I have some favourite songs such as: “I love you baby”, “All my love”, “Yesterday” and so on. I consider, he is a perfect musician, and his music is wonderful.

"Yesterday”? You mean Beatles? Sinatra used to sing their song.
УдалитьMay be, I don't know exactly. I know that he used to sing Beatles' songs. I should say, their songs performed by him, also sound wonderful. Svetlana
УдалитьOh.....Frank Sinatra)! Without exaggeration, he is an outstanding singer....His voice, to my mind, like "honey" His songs are always associated with something bright and beautiful...they make me dream) My favourite song is"Jingle Bell" ...Though it was performed by other singers dozens of times.....this interpretation is unique...because of his style...his sound is amazing... An eternal music...an eternal person..... Shipova KatE
ОтветитьУдалитьWithout doubt, Frank Sinatra’s songs are eternal. I can hardly find suitable words to describe all the beauty, all the power of his songs .They make me remember about the bright days of my life, they make me forget about everyday routine, moreover, they make me live in the world of my dreams at least for a moment. He had a long and acclaimed career, he succeeded in singing a great number of brilliant songs. To my mind, among of his favourite songs are “My way», 'Summer Wind', 'Strangers in the Night'. The lines of some of his songs are on my mind.

An eternal music? To my mind, it is the the music that is never out of fashion, music that is alive all the time. One can't stay indifferent while listening to it, this music will always touch your heart, soul, and make your think. Sinatra's voice timbre makes me forget about the moving of the world around me and evokes pleasant and positive emotions.

To tell the truth, two years before, I didn’t hear about him. But only one music video of Frank Sinatra had changed my attitude to the music at all. It was the song called “Sway”. At the moment I liked other genres of music as well, rock music mostly. But this song captivated me, because I had never heard such interesting music. The mix of interesting melody, the charming rhythm, or really unclipped voice – I don’t know, something just caught my attention and didn’t give it up and to tell the truth there was something magical in it. After I heard some of Frank Sinatra’s songs, I understood that my attitude to the music was changed. Not only the attitude, but my criteria for estimating music had been changed forever.
ОтветитьУдалитьWell, it may sound like some pathos speech, but I agree with those, who believe that Frank Sinatra is one of the greatest singers of all the times.

Just listen to this
ОтветитьУдалитьL is for the way you look at me
O is for the only one I see
V is very, very extraordinary
E is even more than anyone that you adore and
Love is all that I can give to you
Love is more than just a game for two
Two in love can make it
Take my heart and please don't break it
Love was made for me and you
To me he was a voice of love. This song is perfect for a dance. Not that one which a couple dances somewhere outside in the garden at a party with sparkling glasses of champagne. But the one wich happens all over a sudden at home in the evening. It was a long weekend and actually it was supposed to be a day of rest but oh well... for her it's a day of dishes, laundry, floors, ironing, some extra work taken home... She is tired, she takes her glasses off and he is looking at her and setting on this track. They are dancing and the time stops its constant flying. It has been how much? 20 years darling, right? but I love like I did the first time I saw your smile. This is LOVE this is what Sinatra sang for. Kate.S
What a sweet picture! Cynics would say: "Sloppy!" Others would state: "True.His is the voice of love!"
УдалитьWhich opinion do you think will outweigh?))
I'm always of the opinion that if there were no romantic people we would never fly in planes)) Speaking of cynics, guess they make their lives less colorful) Speaking of myself, pray to experience this dance in my own life) We are going to win))
ОтветитьУдалитьFrank Sinatra is forever associated with Christmas, there is no decorating Xmas Tree without «Let It Snow», what a sweet song! Saying nothing of the soul healing voice, of course.
ОтветитьУдалитьFiona, a good-for-nothing mother, used to close her eyes while singing «Killing Me Softly» to Will. Frank Sinatra wasn't actually the author of the song, but his brilliant voice made it sound better. By the way, it's the only guitar song I can play.
As for me, while having a romantic mood,I prefer to listen to "Strangers in the night".Thanks to an unrivalled voice of Frank Sinatra that particular song makes me think over some moments and dream about something good.
