This is one of my all-time favorite of the many great albums by The Chairman of The Board, Mr. Francis Albert Sinatra. My good friend Jimmy Starace gave this to me for a Birthday present one year and I've loved this wonderful Sinatra Album ever since. The album comprises songs that were Frank Sinatra's best loved songs. His daughter Tina had the idea of producing album of songs that her father Frank Sinatra recorded that were his own personal favorites. Tina asked her father to pick these songs, and the album Everything Happens to Me was born. If you've never listed to the album and I'm sure you'll agree that this collection of Mr. Sinatra singing his favorite songs is a beautiful and poignant one.
This is one of the most interesting and successful Frank Sinatra collections out there. Everything Happens to Me avoids the obvious hits and collects a number of the finest ballads and torch songs that Sinatra cut while at Reprise Records during the '60s, '70s, and early '80s. It's a regal collection that concentrates on the darker side of Sinatra's art. Instead of celebrating a cross section of the Voice's career the way that so many compilations do, the album sounds like an elegy and has a strange cohesiveness considering that it's drawn up from material that stretches over a 20-year period. Sinatra had recorded the title track numerous times throughout his career, but the previously unreleased version included here (complete with new lyrics) is his darkest and most battle-scarred interpretation. Even considering its lighter moments ("The Second Time Around" and the lyrically downbeat but wondrously swinging "Summer Wind"), this is a stark collection that almost plays like an original concept album about confronting disappointment, loneliness, and ultimately, mortality. That's a lot to ask casual fans to embrace, but Everything Happens to Me ends up giving listeners who only know of the swinging Rat Packer more than a glimpse of the complexity and depth behind Frank Sinatra's art.
This picture reminds me of the 7 GLORIOUS TIMES I was fortunate enough to see the Great Man perform Live and in Concert ..
There was nothing quite like seeing Frank Sinatra in Concert ... The shows were electrifying, the air filled with excitement from the many adoring fans, to be there amongst a few thousand other like minded people, very special people "Wonderful Adoring Fans of The Great One FRANCIS ALBERT SINATRA," for there was never and there will never be another quite like Frank and his legions of loving fans, and I'm so proud to say I was one of them.
Yes the rooms that Sinatra performed live in were filled with Electricity and it wasn't just Frank, it was his fans as well and the back and forth love and adulation that went on between Frank and his fans during every one of these special nights. Sinatra was the ultimate performer and without question the greatest singer of the 20th Century, nobody could touch Sinatra, "No One!"
Frank would come out on stage and the place would explode with applause, love, and adulation. The fans welcome Frank into the house and Frank reciprocated, there was nothing like it my friends (to see Sinatra live). Yes Frank always gave us a most warm welcome and we back to him. Then the show would began. Frank always was back by the most amazingly perfect orchestras that backed up his unmatched singing and there you go another night of one of the greatest happenings on God's Good Earth, a Live Concert by The Chairman of The Board Mr. Francis Albert Sinatra, the great one. Basta !
Let's smother each other in a good old strangle-hold
There's nothing but loving on my mind
Don't deny me, satisfy me one more time
Compromise me, vandalize me, have a ball
Destroy me and enjoy me through it all
Demolish, disassemble and dismantle my apparel
If a birthday suit ain't cute ill wear a barrel
Bite my ears, baby, nibble on my nose
Let your dimples put goose pimples on my toes
There's sugar oozing over from my elbows to my knees
So cover me with kisses, get yourself some calories
If you don't want me climbing up the wall
Don't fool around my fertile ground at all
While the cold is getting colder, just be sure
Everything we got is body temperature, warm it up
They're still a lot of groovy goodies left
When you reach the cookie jar, just help yourself
There ain't nothing, but loving on my mind
Don't deny me, satisfy me one more time
Encore, encore, encore
SATISFY ME ONE MORE TIME
Composer - Floyd Huddleston
Music & Lyrics by Floyd Huddleston 1974
Satisfy Me One More Time ? Not many people know this song, even rabid fans of the late great Francis Albert Sinatra have nover heard it. I first discovered the song in 1987 when I bought the album "Some Nice Things I've Missed" by Frank Sinatra.
When I put the song on I was flabbergasted, and I Fell in Love with the song in an instant. The song is up beat, fast tempoed, Risky, and Sexy as Hell, "You've Just Gotta Love it" ???
This song has been become sort of a theme song and anthem of mine personally. I delight in turning people on to it, and sing it myself at get-togethers. And everyone loves it when I do, and astonished by it, and suprised that they've never heard it before. Who wouldn't be ? I'm sure you'll agree, when you do. So listen and delight in a Sinatra song that you mibhet very well be hearing for the first time? SATISFY ME ONE MORE TIME, sung by Sinatra. "Ancor Ancore Ancore" !!!
Listen to this beautiful rendition of All My Tomorrows which was written specifically for Frank, lyrics by Sammy Cahn music by Jimmy Van Huesen .. The video below is the same song when Sinatra first recorded when he was in his 40s. It's a wonderful recording but it's nowhere near as beautiful as this later rendition when Frank was much more mature. Frank sounds infinately better as does the later musical arrangement and fantastic orchestra behind Frank.
The recording of this song is one of Sinatra's most Beautifully Poignant of all. We're sure you'll agree.
"All My Tomorrows" is a 1959 ballad with lyrics by Sammy Cahn and music by Jimmy van Heusen. The song was expressly written as a Frank Sinatra vehicle. It was introduced in the film A Hole in the Head where Sinatra sings it in the opening credits.
Sinatra later featured "All My Tomorrows" on his 1961 album All the Way. Sinatra re-recorded it for his 1969 album My Way, in a new arrangement which Charles L. Granata considers to be superior to the original, and which AllMusic calls "lush and aching". Rolling Stone describes the song as "the poignant monologue of a man determined to turn his life around".
