Frank Sinatra Lyrics

    ------ About the song House I Live In, The performed by Frank Sinatra

I recall watching the documentary and listening to Frank Sinatra sing this song some 60 plus years ago in the auditorium of our Jr.HS while living in N.Y. In fact they would show it at least once a year and I was touched by it then as I still am today.Over the years I remembered some of the lyrics and would often repeat them in my head. Very meaningful--has lived on for me all these years.Now I am passing this on to my children and grandchildren.

    ------ About the song Laura performed by Frank Sinatra

First heard some 60 years ago and never forgotten.
Still gives me shivers down the spine whenever I hear it.
They don't write music like this anymore.
By the way,my daughters name is Laura.

    ------ About the song More performed by Frank Sinatra

This song is from my childhood. I have very fond memories of Frank, singing this ballad. It still to this day, is one of the most moving songs of asll time. I recently shared it with the Love of my life, and it tells them just how I feel, with my hert and soul. Great writting (since 1962)

    ------ About the song Luck Be a Lady performed by Frank Sinatra

To clarify, the song was first performed by Robert Alda when Guys and Dolls (the play, later turned into a movie starring both Brando and Sinatra) first went to Broadway in 1950. Later, in 1955, when the movie was made, Marlon Brando, playing the roll of Sky Masterson (same roll that Alda played), sang the song. Frank Sinatra later sang the song, recorded on a 1965 album of his, which rapidly gained popularity and it is now a well-known "Sinatra" song. The song itself was written by songwriter, Frank Loesser.
In regards the question from January 12th, yes, the version of the song depicted here is the one that Sinatra became famous for. The original, coming from the play, has a line that says:
"A Lady wouldn't flirt with strangers
She'd have a heart, she'd have a soul
A lady wouldn't make little snake eyes at me
When I've got my life on this roll."
It's a great song, and from my favorite musical.
As a side note, many great actors have performed this play in drama in high school, including both Tom Cruise (playing Nathan Detroit) and John Travolta (I believe playing Sky Masterson), as well as Director Baz Luhrmann (playing Sky Masterson). There have also been rumors for the past year or so that a movie remake might be happening. The rights are owned by FOX.

    ------ About the song Haunted Heart performed by Frank Sinatra

As fine as all the other versions of 'HAUNTED HEART' are that have been mentioned, the most brilliant, touching one is done by Frances Langford on a radio show sometime after 1948. The phrasing is impeccable and the song showcases her 'Creamy Contralto' Then at the end on the last word 'Heart' she does a gorgeous high pianissimo and rides it out till the orchestra stops. Magical, Enchanting, Thrilling...But that was Frances Langford. By the way, she sings the lyrics as printed in the article.

    ------ About the song Luck Be a Lady performed by Frank Sinatra

This is a great song and I love the lyrics, but isn't there a verse that's supposed to be something like:
"A lady wouldnt flirt with strangers
She'd have a heart, she'd have a soul
A lady wouldnt make little snake at me
When I bet my life on this roll..."
Instead of just repeating "A lady wouldnt leave escort..."?
I'm going to check other sources and see if I nee to correct it.

    ------ About the song My Kind Of Girl performed by Frank Sinatra

I am upset that when I want to hear My Kind of Girl that I am asked to pay to listen. Bullshit!!!!! Fix yourselves or I will buy it and copy it and run it as a worm all over the internet so that everyone has it!!!!!!!!!!!!

    ------ About the song Haunted Heart performed by Frank Sinatra

The song "Haunted Heart" was PERFORMED by Frank Sinatra, but he DID NOT write either the music OR the lyrics. They were done by the following men:

Music by Arthur Schwartz
Lyrics by Howard Dietz, 1948

Nothing personal against Frank, but credit should go where it actually belongs. Frank would prefer it that way I think.

    ------ About the song Haunted Heart performed by Frank Sinatra

No, there are no missing lyrics to the published ones. If you listen to the actual song and its phrasing, the lyrics fit perfectly and the meaning is very clear. Try to listen to it once again. The song was most recently part of the soundtrack to "The End of An Affair". It was sung by Jo Stafford. I was able to find a copy of the song sung by Frank Sinatra, but there are a couple other versions that are somewhat better. One of them was by Joan Monheit live that's really touching, but Jo Stafford's is excellent as well.

    ------ About the song Blue Moon performed by Frank Sinatra

More honestlier, that's kind of gay; perhaps the masturbatory impulses (by yourself) were borderline acceptable, but the fact that you had to go into a circle jerk (presumably with other dudes, which is what a circle jerk is) makes you gay. Frank Sinatra can't make you want to beat off with other dudes, so you're next post should be that you're a proud gay man who likes to listen to Sinatra.
