Ray on X Factor

[ROBERT M.]

But Mark, if you ask ANY Frank Sinatra fan to give you their favourite Sinatra song, they will nearly always give MY WAY the song is so popular, it is soooooo associated with Frank. You called the song "terrible" in a previous post a while back, so everyone else is wrong

I am with Mark on this--my fave Sintra song is either "the way you look tonight" "In the wee small hours of the morning" or "Love's been good to me " or "They can't take that away from me" or..........

loads of others before "My way"

I like Sinatra's Love's Been Good To Me Mariana, I also like his version of Mrs Robinson, but I can't say I have many of his recordings.

It's all personel tastes and opinions. As far as Sinatra and his songs, he was the crooner who came along at a particular time and sang in a particular way with certain songs that like millions at that time, I looked on, associated and thought of as the ... Real Sinatra. To me, these are Two songs that I would probably describe as typical Sinatra recordings.... "I'll Follow My Secret Heart" and "We'll Gather Lilacs.
His voice and his songs changed over the years, resulting in us having a fantastic collection.

Sorry,Robert-NOT the fans I know-and I do know quite a few.
These songs weren't Frank's favourites either-and he actually hated 'STRANGERS IN THE NIGHT'-see the DVD CONCERT FOR THE AMERICAS_turn up the volume and hear what he says(off mike)to the orchestra conductor!
