3 Must-Watch Concert Performances for Fans of Frank Sinatra
Recognized worldwide as Ol' Blue Eyes and The Voice, Frank Sinatra remains a towering figure in the musical landscape of the 20th century. His soulful vocals and charismatic stage presence sold millions of records and played a pivotal role in shaping Las Vegas into the iconic hub of entertainment it is recognized as today.
Although the legendary singer from Hoboken, New Jersey departed this world in 1998 at the age of 82, his legacy endures through his timeless music and the magic of his live performances. We've curated a list of three special concerts—now available to be enjoyed from the comfort of home—that every Frank Sinatra aficionado should experience.
Los Angeles (1971)
The date was June 13, 1971, when Sinatra graced the stage for what was intended to be his farewell performance. Concluding with the iconic 'My Way,' it was a night that tugged at the heartstrings, yet two years later Sinatra would return, undeniably drawn back to the spotlight. This show is a treasure trove of hits like 'I've Got You Under My Skin,' 'Fly Me to The Moon (In Other Words),' and 'The Lady Is a Tramp.' It's a showstopper not to be missed.
New York City (1977)
In the effervescent city of New York in 1977, Sinatra joined forces with fellow Rat Pack member, Dean Martin, for a show that was as much a comedy routine as it was a concert. It showcased the pair's easy rapport, interspersed with suave performances of classics like 'Embraceable You.' The charm and flair of old-school entertainers radiate throughout this unique performance.
Washington D.C. (1973)
A performance at none other than the White House is a testament to Sinatra's enduring appeal. In 1973, at President Richard Nixon's invitation, he serenaded attendees at a state dinner for Prime Minister Giulio Andreotti of Italy. With a fine ensemble of piano, drums, and upright bass, Sinatra delivered renditions of 'Try a Little Tenderness' and 'Under My Skin' that remain unforgettable.
