I never realized that about Frank Sinatra before.

Frank Sinatra

Thomas Williams

I was reading what George Will said about Frank Sinatra on his column Insight. "The Frank Sinatra we remember"


He pointing out that Frank Sinatra had a true artist touch to his musical craft, that people should reconcile to understand better about him. Because Frank Sinatra also loved the art of using words in the best way possible, appreciating the magic that happens just from saying what we say in such a human moment of clear self expression, that everyone else also knows exactly what we are talking about.

And frankly that part of Frank Sinatra person evaded my attitude about him also. I felt like Sinatra was just a lucky guy who happened to have a very good singing voice, and nothing more.

"No so! Because Mr. George Will pointed out "This is Sinatra's kind of musical skill:"

"The summer wind came blowin' in from across the sea
It lingered there, to touch your hair and walk with me
All summer long we sang a song and then we strolled that golden sand
Two sweethearts and the summer wind
Like painted kites, those days and nights, they went flyin' by
The world was new beneath a blue umbrella sky
Then softer than a piper man, one day it called to you
I lost you, I lost you to the summer wind
The autumn wind, and the winter winds, they have come and gone
And still the days, those lonely days, they go on and on
And guess who sighs his lullabies through nights that never end
My fickle friend, the summer wind"

♥ Frank Sinatra - Summer wind

"Frequent performing, and too much Jack Daniel's, and too many unfiltered Camel cigarettes took their toll before he acknowledged this and left the road, much too late. However, his reputation is preserved by the short-term memory loss of a nation that will forever hear the Sinatra of the 1940s, 1950s and 1960s.

Kaplan reports, according to "legend," that Sinatra's casket in a Palm Springs-area cemetery contains some Jack Daniel's and Camels. If so, even in death, Sinatra did it his way."
