I'd assume that, being BBC4 there will be a programme about his life as well which would be interesting wink.

Nonu Fri 02-May-14 18:36:16

Oh yes , KAY.Strangers in the night !!

Forgotten that !

Ana Fri 02-May-14 18:42:52

It's a repeat, so I expect most of you fans will have already seen it! wink

KatyK Fri 02-May-14 18:48:32

Oh is it? I will probably have seen it. Will record it anyway just in case.

Ana Fri 02-May-14 18:53:44

I mentioned it to DH and he's watching it now! hmm
(Having recorded it the first time...)

Nonu Fri 02-May-14 18:58:06

What are his favourite songs ??
grin

Ana Fri 02-May-14 19:00:38

He likes the old ones when he sang with the Big Bands - it's not my type of music, although I admit to liking a couple of Frank's later songs- Something Stupid (with Nancy) is one of them.

I think I have seen this before. My favourite is 'You make me feel so young' which may have saved my degree. I was down in the dumps, having messed up an exam paper, walking past a basement flat from which emanated this very song. I cheered up, caught a train home and relaxed for the weekend before taking the rest of the papers! Good Old Blue Eyes!

Ana

It is as simple as a pimple you either like him or not like him !!

I think when he was young, voice strong and singing with the big bands of the forties no-one could touch him.Like all of the singers and bands of the forties , IMO they were magical, such a smooth sound.

However I am now rather taken with Pitbull, Back Street Boys etc., so I have quite an eclectic taste in popular music .

Ana Fri 02-May-14 19:35:03

No, Nonu, it's not that simple - I don't 'like' Frank Sinatra. I don't 'dislike' him. I don't like all of his music - just some of it. hmm
