Not only did Frank Sinatra have a great singing voice, the guy knew how to put over a song. His dancing, and other movements around the stage are just a joy to watch.
Why he had to smoke while singing The Girl from Ipanema was beyond me. Poor Antonio Carlos Jobim had to be subjected to second hand smoke.
Ella Fitzgerald was absolutely fabulous here but why did she have to sing with those eyes wide shut during her first and second numbers?
It's really a shame that all 3 major talents are gone now. We need more of this type of singing. These 3 artists represented fine class in the musical world. Nice to see Nelson Riddle get the necessary recognition that he so richly deserved for arranging the music of The Great Chairman of the Board.
