00:00Hi, I hope you're doing well. Yes, the title is intriguing. You can imagine that with Christmas approaching, I thought...
00:04Damn, couldn't we go with someone to better fit the period?
00:07Two years ago I made a video about what I think is the most popular Christmas song of our generation
00:15But there are many others. And it's true that these are songs we only listen to at this time of year.
00:20have practically become a tradition. Frank Sinatra is one of those artists who are extremely present during the Christmas holidays.
00:26with Jingle Bells, Let It Snow, and yet when you look at his life story, nothing suggested that he would become such an essential voice.
00:33of this festive period. Between being friends with presidents, becoming an avowed associate of the mafia, and having countless dubious stories.
00:41He was the perfect candidate for a short history video. If you'll allow me, let's retrace his journey together and share some anecdotes.
00:48When you hear these songs in the coming days you will be able to say
00:51Hey, did you know that? Don't forget to subscribe and leave a like, it's important. And sit back because it's time to find out who really was
00:59Frank Sinatra.
01:21Oh, the weather outside is frightful, but the fire is so delightful
01:29Since we've no place to go
01:33Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow
01:38The only thing you owe the public is a good performance
01:45Sinatra's story begins in Aubokken, New Jersey, and it already promises to be a difficult one. His mother, Dolly, would remember it for a very long time.
01:57December 12, 1915, because that's the day she had to expel a 6 kg child
02:02Well, big baby, 6 kg. It's not easy for me to lift 6 kg. Delivering it?
02:07The birth in question is so difficult that Dolly and her unborn son, Francis Albert Sinatra, will fight for their lives.
02:13To avoid tragedy, the doctor was forced to extract Frank with forceps, which left him with scars on his face, neck, and a perforated eardrum.
02:21As for Frank's father, it's Marty, a former boxer, but it's definitely Dolly who wears the pants at home and we'll soon realize that.
02:28Sinatra's family is primarily from Sicily, and like much of the community
02:32Of Italian-American descent, she chose to settle in the Little Italy neighborhood of New York. And in this neighborhood, and especially at this time,
02:38The mafia is very present. So for the Sinatra family, living alongside them becomes a habit, and since it's during Prohibition and they own a bar,
02:46They can count on them to help them with their business. And it is precisely in this context that Frank grows up. He is thin, with a long scar on his face,
02:54that everyone calls
02:56Scarface. And Frank, he's rather solitary. It's even said that sometimes he paid other boys to be his friends.
03:02And let me tell you, things aren't much better in the family. He's both spoiled and neglected at the same time.
03:06So he has everything it takes to become hypersensitive and seek refuge. And Frank's refuge is songs and gangster movies.
03:13At that point in his life, it was the era of swing and big bands, a kind of large jazz orchestra that was extremely well-known at the time.
03:19But it was also the era of crooners, like Bing Crosby, who quickly became Frank's idol.
03:24And Frank is fascinated by crooners. He's fascinated by their success and their ease in having girls fall into their arms.
03:39And yes, even though he's only 11 years old, he's already very into women. Like, really into them.
03:44And, although it might seem like a minor detail, it's also one of the main reasons that will motivate him to become the greatest singer in the world.
03:49to achieve success, but above all to get as much as possible.
03:52So, young Frank, to practice in front of an audience, often went behind the piano in his parents' bar.
03:57And amidst the bar regulars and the mafia bars, he sings a little song and feels more and more at ease.
04:01I remind you that Frank has a problem with his eardrum and can't play music. But at least he already has a voice, and not just any voice.
04:08So, during his adolescence, he developed in this way and in the year he turned 17, his father decided it was time for him to find his voice.
04:13Her real voice.
04:14And to achieve this, his father decides to throw him out.
04:17That'll get little Frank moving.
04:18And so, to earn a living, Frank takes on a series of odd jobs.
04:21Truck driver, newspaper deliveryman, but each time he ends up getting fired or he often has problems with the law.
04:27In reality, Frank doesn't really care about his day jobs. What he wants is to sing.
04:31But in the 1930s, making it in music wasn't so simple.
04:34So, one day, he decided to take his chances.
04:37He learns that Carlos Gardel, one of the greatest voices of the era,
04:40sings regularly in the NBC radio studios in New York.
04:43Without hesitation, Frank seizes the opportunity, he rushes to the radio station hoping to meet the singer.
04:47At the end of the show, Frank will come and stammer out some congratulations to Carlos.
04:51Carlos, who sees a lot of himself in the young man that is Frank.
04:54That is to say, someone who gets fired all the time, who has problems with the law and who has only one obsession: to sing.
04:58To get away from her problems and give herself a chance to succeed, he advises her to enter the Radio Crochet competition organized by NBC.
05:04And this information, in particular, has certainly not fallen on deaf ears.
05:07because at the very end of his career, Frank Sinatra still warmly thanked Carlos.
05:11He will follow his advice.
05:12The following year, he entered NBC's Radio Crochet competition.
05:15But he doesn't come alone, as he is accompanied by three of his childhood friends.
05:18with whom they form a group, the Hoboken Four.
05:34Together, they won first prize and even a record number of votes from the public.
05:38What was the reward? It was a tour, in the USA and Canada, all expenses paid.
05:42Which is clearly a beast of an opportunity.
05:44But all of this comes at a cost. The pace. 35 concerts a week, in 19 different states.
05:51The pay is decent, but it will never compensate for the lack of sleep.
05:54nor repair the egos of the other members of the Hoboken Four.
05:57Because the problem is that Sinatra gets all the attention.
06:00He is the one the public comes to see, he is the one journalists want to interview.
06:04In everyone's eyes, Sinatra is the true star of the group.
06:07And they don't really give a damn about other people.
06:09This will create tension, and as soon as the tour is over,
06:11Franck is going to leave the Hoboken Four and search for a new place to sing.
06:16Fortunately, he can count on his mother Dolly and her invaluable address book.
06:20Thanks to her, Franck gets a few gigs here and there, in bars, restaurants,
06:24which are often run by the mafia.
06:25And then finally, he finds a place to land.
06:27The rustic cabin, where he will work both as a singer and as a waiter.
06:31I think this is a good time to take a brief look at music in America in the 1930s and 40s.
06:36At that time, two types of artists dominated the scene.
06:38There are the Big Bands, which are large orchestras led by legendary conductors like Benny Goodman or Duke Ellington.
06:47But also the Crooners, who are singers with soft voices, capable of telling stories through song.
06:52Among them is Bing Crosby, who was Sinatra's childhood idol.
06:55and whom we will encounter again a little later in his story.
06:57And finally, jazz, with artists like Louis Armstrong, Billie Holiday, and Ella Fitzgerald.
07:12who were then true international stars at that time.
07:14But it is also the period in which swing emerged, the style that would later absorb bebop.
07:18then rhythm and blues and finally rock'n'roll.
07:20Okay, so I won't go over the whole story again, but roughly.
07:23And it is in this musical genre, swing, that Sinatra will shine.
07:26In 1938, his bad habits resurfaced.
07:29Frank is arrested by the police; he is accused of seduction and adultery with a married woman.
07:34It was from this arrest that the famous mugshot of him, so well known, came about, in handsome mode.
07:39So yes, to be more precise, seducing another woman was reprehensible at the time, especially when she was married.
07:44As a result, Frank spent 16 hours in a cell before being released, and when his mother Dolly learned the news, she simply lost it.
07:52She's simply going to go to the woman who filed the complaint and push her down the stairs to her basement.
07:56Well, this is mostly just an anecdote, but these troubles will not prevent Sinatra from moving into high gear the following year.
08:02Not only does he marry his neighbor Nancy Barbato, but he is also noticed by the trumpeter Harry James.
08:08which is just one of the most well-known orchestras in the country.
08:14We played at the Paramount Theater in New York, and I forgot about that remote.
08:23And I played the next night, I played to hear it, and the manager didn't want to tell him, because he said he's the MC.
08:30So I just wanted to sing him a song once in a while.
08:32But in fact, he's here, he's the MC who presented the show.
08:35And he arrived at the table, it happened, the next day he arrived at the Paramount Theater,
08:39and he came with us and signed a one-year contract, $75 a week.
08:44Harry invites him to join his tour, and Sinatra accepts.
08:46He is touring the country again, and as with the Hoboken Four,
08:49Sinatra very quickly became the star of the orchestra, which was already renowned.
08:53But what excites him most about this new encounter is that for the first time in his life, he will have access to a studio.
08:58On August 31, 1939, Sinatra recorded his very first sound,
09:01All or Nothing at All, which initially enjoyed local success, and then national success when it was reissued a few years later.
09:07All or nothing at all, have the love, never, I feel...
09:22It's been 6 months, and Sinatra has already sealed the deal.
09:25Success is there, but it's almost too easy for him.
09:28He, above all, needs to challenge himself.
09:29Then he joined Tommy Dorsey's big band.
09:41When Tommy sees Sinatra, he too is certain that he will become a star.
09:45But what Tommy sees most of all is that he has everything he needs to make a lot of money.
09:50And so, under Tommy's wing, Sinatra learned the ropes of the business.
09:53But above all, he will work on his voice by drawing direct inspiration from Tommy's acting.
09:56And when he realizes that Tommy almost never takes a breath during the songs,
10:00Sinatra thought it was worth trying to do the same.
10:03So what he's going to do is rush to the pool to swim laps underwater.
10:06He's going to work on his breath-holding, all that, and this training will pay off.
10:09Thanks to this new way of managing his breathing, Sinatra is much more at ease.
10:13He has the full range of abilities to tell his stories with depth,
10:16And that's what makes all the difference compared to the crooners of that era.
10:19His mastery of the voice seems so effortless that the public gives him a very evocative nickname,
10:36The Voice.
10:37In other words, thanks to Tommy's orchestra, Sinatra quickly became the most popular singer in the country.
10:42It's rare to find stories where it's just people who have the game on easy mode.
10:45It all happened super fast, but oh well, that's her story, you know.
10:48The dates keep coming, and so do the projects.
10:50In 1941, he even embarked on a series of musical comedies in Hollywood.
10:53Little by little, Sinatra succeeded in his gamble and became a popular idol.
11:05But that doesn't help his situation at all.
11:07Because in fact, Tommy's obsession is to pass on unfair contracts.
11:11And he clearly did it backwards to Sinatra.
11:13Tommy managed to get him to sign a contract where he gets 42% of all the money he makes until the end of his days.
11:22Whereas if he had used Odoo and its signature app, perhaps he would have taken more time to pay attention to the contract he signed.
11:28This is the smoothest transition on my channel.
11:30Thanks to them for sponsoring this video, and yes, it comes right in the middle.
11:33Odoo is an all-in-one management software that offers entrepreneurs a whole range of applications
11:37to facilitate the management of their business, invoicing, project management, and inventories.
11:41Last time, I showed you the website creation they also do in my video on ChillDish.
11:45And yes, I say ChillDish and I don't give a damn what you think.
11:47Odoo follows your evolution and allows you to add additional applications as your business grows and your needs change.
11:54The first app is free for life, and today I want to talk to you about the Signature app which I find useful.
12:00It could have been useful to Frank Sinatra in the 1940s, but unfortunately, it didn't exist.
12:04With the Signature app, you can personalize, send and sign documents in just a few clicks.
12:08You add the signatories, you drag and drop them, it's easy.
12:11The order of signatures, automatic reminders, all that stuff.
12:14It allows you to make quick signatures from any device using a handwritten signature.
12:19You also have real-time tracking with notifications on everything, maximum security with a unique link for each signatory.
12:25You can even create templates and store your documents in a space designed for that purpose.
12:28And most importantly, sending and signing is 100% free, so if you're interested, here's the offer we have with my link.
12:34You have access to all applications from 19.90 per month.
12:38The first application is free, including hosting and unlimited support.
12:42All the information is in the link in the description.
12:45Thanks to them, and what a shame that Frank Sinatra never knew about Odoo.
12:50Okay, let's start again.
12:52That being said, I repeat, Tommy managed to get Frank Sinatra to sign a contract where he gets 42% of all the money.
12:59Until his death. I don't know if we can fully grasp the madness of it.
13:02There are some shitty contracts out there, but this one is particularly shitty.
13:04What was I trying to say?
13:05In 1942, Frank Sinatra decided to go solo to tempt fate a little.
13:09But here's the thing, he signed a crappy contract and since he was stuck with that contract,
13:12Sinatra called some of his friends, family friends,
13:15to make a proposal that Tommy won't be able to refuse.
13:19This kind of proposal where they speak with a strong Italian accent.
13:22And where you really don't want to say no if you value your two knees, your family.
13:26And you know what? Surprisingly, it works.
13:29Frank Sinatra is free of any contract and he will finally be able to attempt the solo KR he deserves.
13:35In December 1942, Sinatra was 26 years old and he felt ready.
13:43So he can't read sheet music, he doesn't write his own lyrics, but he still believes in his talent.
13:48And what better place to start than Broadway?
13:50He rents the Paramount in New York and even though it's still only his beginnings, the theater is already packed to the rafters.
13:56The New Year's show at The Paramount came with Benny Goodman.
13:59The theater manager, Coaxe Goodman, added Frank Sinatra to the show for $150.
14:04Goodman has no objection, but asking him "who is Frank Sinatra?"
14:08It was school time and thousands of Bobby Soxers gave him the answer.
14:11It happened over 8 weeks and he became a legend.
14:14With his age, his handsome face, his voice, Sinatra made the hearts of all the teenage girls of the time beat faster.
14:19Especially those known as Bobby Soxers.
14:21These swing fans were dressed the same way with their skirts and socks pulled up.
14:25To ensure its effect, it seems that Sinatra even paid some of them to faint during the show.
14:31And that's a marketing cost that's extremely groundbreaking if it turns out to be true.
14:35And yes children, everything in life can be bought.
14:38The success was as rapid as it was immense.
14:41Each of his solo appearances gives way to scenes of collective madness.
14:45It was like a huge rumble.
14:475000 little girls stamping their feet, shouting, screaming, applauding.
14:51I was paralyzed with fear.
14:538 weeks.
14:54That's all it took for Sinatra to bring down Paramount, to set New York ablaze.
14:58and become the highest-paid singer in America.
15:01Just 2 months, that's just madness without any progress.
15:04Yet there were crooners before Sinatra, he is clearly not a pioneer at all.
15:08But with such an aura, perhaps not.
15:10Sinatra is kind of the ultimate crooner.
15:12He is able to establish a close relationship with his audience in no time.
15:16and to take him along for the entire concert.
15:18And his aura is fascinating, because he gives the impression of singing for everyone.
15:22“I felt the glow of you in my arms. The band had left the stand, and we were in heaven. »
15:42The women think he is seducing them, while the men dream of being like him.
15:47Nothing can stop him.
15:48In just a few months, Sinatra's life changed completely.
15:50He goes from being a promising young talent to a national star.
15:53Everywhere he goes, they call him The Voice.
15:55And he even recorded his first singles.
16:15And at that moment, Sinatra finally realized his dream.
16:18It's at the height of its success and on all the radio stations.
16:20But he's not the only one rubbing his hands together.
16:22It's the mafia that expects there to be a small comeback.
16:25Because yes, it's thanks to them that he started singing in bars, etc.
16:30And that's how it happened.
16:31So at some point, you don't abandon your family.
16:34Do you see what I mean?
16:35And you know what, Sinatra doesn't mind it at all.
16:38to be associated with the mafia's muscle.
16:40And as a former skinny kid, he is even flattered to be associated with an image of Kaïd.
16:44Basically, he's the kind of guy who starts a fight, but runs away as soon as things get physical.
16:48And as for the music, Sinatra simply becomes
16:50the first pop singer.
16:52We hear him everywhere, we see him everywhere, and everything he touches turns to gold.
16:56Sinatra simply laid the foundations of showbiz and the profession of star in music.
17:01Just that, it's normal, it's a different era, think about it, it's crazy.
17:05The Voice is more than just a voice.
17:07His lifestyle, his success, his timeless hits make him the perfect example of the American dream.
17:12And that works out very, very well.
17:13In the midst of a global conflict, America needed to motivate its troops and give them an ideal to strive for.
17:19During World War II, Sinatra was not part of the troops because he was discharged due to his eardrum problem, definitely.
17:25This will not prevent him from participating in the war effort, but in his own way.
17:29Sinatra recorded songs and regularly gave concerts for soldiers who had gone to fight.
17:34But America has another role for him to play.
17:37With success, Sinatra quickly moved to Hollywood, but that wasn't really a surprise.
17:42He has never hidden his interest in cinema and as he is the most hyped guy of this period, everyone wants to work with him.
17:47Starting with the army.
17:49The army.
18:07During the war, he played himself in the propaganda film, The House I Live In.
18:11In it, he alternates between monologues and songs to denounce anti-Semitism and all other forms of intolerance.
18:16A message that is close to his heart as an immigrant and which above all makes him the standard-bearer of American values.
18:22We'll come back to that later, but Sinatra never hid his political ambitions either.
18:26In a Republican America, he openly supports the Democratic party, and this earns him a great deal of criticism.
18:31Some even wonder if he is not actually a communist, at a time when it is better to avoid being on that side.
18:36Basically, they're waiting for some kind of misstep, and Sinatra is about to make it.
18:41In 1947, he took advantage of a trip to Cuba to spend some quality time with friends.
18:44Lucky Luciano, the godfather of the New York mafia who has just been released from prison, has decided to organize a major conference with all the biggest names in the mafia to assert his superiority.
18:53And Sinatra is tasked with singing in the middle of 500 mobsters, all gathered in a hotel in Cuba.
18:59Lucky Luciano is a true legend in the world of organized crime.
19:03Not only did he establish the world's first heroin trafficking network, but he also came from the Carafridi era, a tiny, poor town in Sicily.
19:12exactly the same one from which Sinatra's entire family comes.
19:15But obviously, 500 mobsters and Frank Sinatra meeting in the same place is hard to miss.
19:21Journalist Lee Mortimer, having heard about La Réunion, decides to conduct an investigation and what he discovers surprises him so much that he asks the FBI to do the same.
19:29Lee believes that Sinatra is using his celebrity to transport large sums of drug money on behalf of the mafia.
19:36No one dares to control him, and according to Lee, there is no doubt, since he arrived with $2 million in cash in his briefcase, just to attend the conference.
19:44So I understand Lee's point of view, which is a bit shady.
19:47Sinatra liked his bad boy image, but he always made sure to obscure his relationship with the mafia.
19:53So, in court, he denies it.
19:55He denies it.
20:18Lacking evidence, he is acquitted.
20:20As an aside, his friend Jerry Lewis would declare years later that he did not smuggle 2 million, but 3 million, that day.
20:28After that, we can believe whoever we want.
20:30In any case, there is one thing that Lee Mortimer did not see coming,
20:33That's the huge punch in the face that Sinatra threw at him when they crossed paths again after that affair.
20:50As a result, a highly publicized trial ensued, and above all, a new image of Frank began to emerge, far removed from the polished crooner the public knew.
21:05that of an impulsive and sometimes violent bad boy.
21:11Sinatra will eventually pay for this misstep, but for now, he is enjoying life.
21:15He settled in Hollywood, and his family grew three times.
21:18With the birth of Nancy Junior in 1940, Frank Junior in 1944, and Tina in 1948.
21:24His career takes up a lot of his time, but Sinatra does everything he can to see his children.
21:27His days are packed, and now he spends most of his time in the moment where there is a chance of life.
21:31He settled in Hollywood, and his family grew three times.
21:34With the birth of Nancy Junior in 1940, Frank Junior in 1944, and Tina in 1948.
21:40His career takes up a huge amount of his time, but Sinatra does everything he can to see his children.
21:44His days are packed, and now he spends most of his time in the studio.
21:47He spends most of his time in the studio, but in film studios.
21:50He just signed a 5-year contract with MGM, and he was immediately propelled to the top of the bill for their biggest production.
21:55Sinatra therefore took up acting, working alongside the best.
21:58Her on-screen partner was Jane Kelly, a true icon at the time.
22:01And if that name doesn't ring a bell, you'll at least know one of his songs.
22:12He's the one who teaches her to dance, and they get along really well.
22:17Together, they will go on to make a string of successful films.
22:28Sinatra is in seventh heaven, he's churning out hits and films, but also parties.
22:32Always a glass, and a small cigarette in hand.
22:34And he's always hanging out, hanging out with the trendy people of the time.
22:37Orson Wales, Judy Garland, and even Bing Crosby, who was his childhood idol.
22:42His new life suits him perfectly.
22:55Apart from drugs, which he hated, Sinatra embraced all the excesses of Hollywood life, starting with infidelity.
23:02We talked about it earlier, he's always loved women even more than parties and success.
23:07Sinatra has a reputation as a huge seducer, and with his new status, no one can resist him anymore.
23:12Even less so the actresses with whom they often share the screen, such as Marilyn Maxwell or Lana Turner.
23:17Basically, Sinatra sleeps with anything that moves, and his wife Nancy soon realizes it.
23:22She finally filed for divorce in 1950.
23:25Divorce was extremely frowned upon at the time.
23:28But in addition, Sinatra openly flaunts his new girlfriend, Ava Gardner, and fully embraces his infidelity.
23:38And that's a message that's hard for the public to get across, and for the mafia, who feel that he's betraying his values.
23:44It's not mafia-friendly either.
23:46His popularity takes a serious hit at that moment, but fortunately, Ava knows how to reassure him.
23:51I will take the liberty of quoting her.
23:53Francky may weigh 55 kilos soaking wet, but above all he's 50 kilos of dicks.
23:58And beyond this statement, Ava is above all the archetype of the strong woman, who refuses to be walked all over.
24:03And you need at least that much to exist in the face of Frank Sinatra.
24:06For the only time in his life, Sinatra is being bossed around.
24:09He is captivated by Ava Gardner's beauty and eccentric lifestyle.
24:12and a year after his divorce from Nancy, they get married and on the surface their relationship is idyllic.
24:17But on the other side of the mirror, in reality it's the complete opposite.
24:20Sinatra and Ava look a little too much alike.
24:23They are excessive, have strong tempers and a slight penchant for deceit.
24:27Sure, they're crazy about each other, but their relationship is destructive.
24:30It is fueled by jealousy and alcohol, which often lead to violent arguments.
24:34One evening when Ava refuses to sleep with Sinatra, he threatens to end her life.
24:39On the phone, Ava hears two explosions.
24:41She rushes into Sinatra's room, where she finds holes in the pillows and feathers flying everywhere.
24:47And this kind of scene was not an isolated case.
24:49Frank makes this kind of threat regularly.
24:51In other words, the relationship is toxic.
24:54At that time, between accusations of communism, his links with the mafia, personal problems, Sinatra's career was losing momentum.
25:02As if that wasn't enough, he now has problems with his vocal cords.
25:05His songs are starting to bore people and his films are doing less well.
25:09In the early 1950s, the showbiz world pushed him out because of his bad boy image.
25:14His contracts are ending sooner than expected.
25:16Because of his lifestyle, Sinatra has run out of money and not much hope left.
25:20Even worse, Ava became one of the most important actresses in Hollywood at that time.
25:24And Sinatra absolutely cannot stand living in his shadow.
25:41Not long ago, he was an idol.
25:43Now he's out of fashion and he's being blackmailed by his agent and label.
25:47Everyone says he's finished, but what they don't know is that he's going to make one of the biggest comebacks in history.
25:54To revive his career, Sinatra is betting everything on a film he has just received, as long as there are men.
25:59He has a real soft spot for the character of Angelo Maggio, an Italian-American soldier from Brooklyn.
26:05who never lets herself be crushed by injustice.
26:07Frank fully identifies with this role and is ready to do anything to obtain it.
26:11It's just a minor role, but he talks to her so much that he asks his somewhat influential circle to mention it to the producer.
26:18And it works. With this new role, he has a chance to showcase the full extent of his talent and finally turn the page.
26:24He was not mistaken. In 1953, the page would be turned there in two ways.
26:40Firstly, because it's the year Ava ends their relationship, which inspires one of her biggest hits,
26:45I'm a fool to want you.
27:01But also and especially because it was the year he won the Oscar for best supporting actor.
27:05This might be the biggest comeback in history; he was a loser who was deliberately sidelined.
27:10and Sinatra regains his place as a star among stars with this role.
27:14That's a good idea.
27:18Ladies and Gentlemen,
27:21I am very happy and very awake.
27:25And I don't know what to say because it's a new thing.
27:30It's a new thing, it's a thing,
27:33It's a thing, it's a thing.
27:35And I am very happy, and if I start thanking everyone,
27:39I'm going to do a real one here, so I don't know.
27:43I would like to say, for example, that they make a lot of songs here,
27:48But nobody asked me.
27:50On Oscar night, all of Hollywood is there.
27:53And whether he likes it or not, everyone is obliged to applaud him.
27:56It's time for him to embark on a new adventure.
28:03In the second half of the 1950s, Sinatra achieved success in everything he undertook.
28:07He is surrounded by the best, he is a renowned artist, a movie star.
28:10He has his own TV series called The Frank Sinatra Show.
28:13At this stage, he is no longer a singer or an actor, he is a true businessman.
28:17At 40, Sinatra matured and drew inspiration from his immense successes.
28:35and to translate his disappointments into music or film.
28:39Like when he chose to play Frankie Machine in the film
28:42The Man with the Golden Arm.
28:58In this film, he plays the role of a singer who is extremely addicted to drugs.
29:01and who is trying to rebuild his life.
29:02A profile in which Sinatra recognized himself.
29:04Of all the roles he played, Sinatra said this was his favorite.
29:07And his performance earns him another Oscar nomination.
29:10But this time, for the lead role.
29:16And musically, Sinatra is no longer the nice little crooner who sings melodies for teenage girls.
29:21With age and his excessive lifestyle, his voice has gained maturity.
29:24and his musical palette has diversified.
29:26Now, he alternates between swing music and more melancholic lyrics.
29:29And he understood one thing well: to sell records, you have to tell stories.
29:32And that's how he's going to distinguish himself from other artists.
29:34It is this aspect that allows it to achieve popular success.
29:37and to make him increasingly perfectionistic.
29:39I've learned that it's a good idea to have your work done.
29:44and to have everything went smoothly.
29:46Because he is a perfectionist.
29:48And if we arrive three hours later,
29:50to obtain all the scales,
29:51to obtain all the grades,
29:53and something else entirely.
29:54because he doesn't really like the circus of the countryside,
29:56He doesn't really like to lighten things.
29:58He condenses his energy,
30:00and puts it all together.
30:01and like a perfectionist,
30:02He will do it at the appropriate time.
30:03and you can't get more than 1 or 2 takes,
30:05And it's good that everyone is ready.
30:07because there will be,
30:09It can start without you.
30:11He only records very late at night.
30:13According to him, that's when his voice is at its best.
30:15Then he chain-smokes,
30:17and the discussions to heat it up,
30:18and when he is ready to enter the cabin,
30:20He asks to be as close as possible to the group
30:22who accompanies him,
30:23to feel their energy to the fullest.
30:25He takes dozens and dozens of shots
30:27to catch the right one,
30:28and his close friends are always there to give him their opinion.
30:30That's how you achieve perfection.
30:32according to Sinatra.
30:33And this so-called perfection
30:35This has taken him to the biggest stages around the world.
30:37But especially in a very specific place,
30:39Las Vegas.
30:40A city that has meanwhile become Eldorado
30:42American casinos and singers
30:44who dream of settling there permanently,
30:46to live the Aloca lifestyle and make a ton of money.
30:48But in this little game, Sinatra is the king.
30:50Sinatra gave his first show in Vegas in 1951.
30:54and he returns there very regularly, to the point of being qualified
30:56like the undisputed king of the city.
30:59He is the one tasked with hosting the opening ceremonies.
31:01new casinos,
31:02or to host the most important VIPs,
31:04like politicians.
31:05It's simple, at each of his concerts,
31:07All the hotels in the city are full.
31:09Sinatra set up his residence at The Sands,
31:11an ultra-luxurious hotel-casino
31:13of which he owns 2% of the shares.
31:15Except, well, you can see it coming,
31:17Where there's a casino, there's the mafia.
31:19And let's say that they too, are starting out in the casinos,
31:21They all connect.
31:23Sinatra isn't even hiding anymore.
31:25He spends a large part of his free time
31:27with the biggest godfathers of organized crime.
31:29When he's not with Lucky Luciano,
31:31He often hangs out with John Canna,
31:33the godfather of the Chicago mafia.
31:35And once again, it doesn't go unnoticed.
31:37To the point that the head of American intelligence
31:39decides to open an investigation into Frank Sinatra.
31:41Telephone tapping,
31:43espionage, surveillance.
31:45From there, it was the beginning of one of the FBI's greatest manhunts.
31:47Consider that in 30 years,
31:49They compiled a 1200-page report.
31:51which document stories of bribery,
31:53mysterious disappearances,
31:55of relationships with the most important members of the underworld.
31:57Moreover, Sinatra's friends and relatives
31:59are so high up
32:01that Sinatra himself suspects
32:03that there is an investigation underway concerning him.
32:05In any case, that's not what's stopping him from opening his own hotel-casino.
32:07northeast of Sacramento.
32:09The Cal Never Lodge & Casino is perfectly located.
32:11It is near a huge lake
32:13to attract all the Hollywood stars
32:15looking for a little privacy on the weekend.
32:17Sinatra invested tons of money
32:19to make it an exceptional establishment.
32:21In the 1960s, Sinatra was at the peak of his career
32:23and is seen with the biggest celebrities.
32:25I read it about the most beautiful women in the world.
32:27and no one can resist its charm.
32:29Not even Grace Kelly, the future princess of Monaco
32:31or even Marilyn Monroe.
32:33And when Sinatra isn't in a bedroom, he spends most of
32:35from his time in Vegas, partying
32:37with his group of friends, all extremely famous.
32:39Inside, there is the Italian-American singer and actor
32:41Dean Martin, the actor Peter Lafford,
32:43actor Joey Bishop,
32:45Sammy Davis, the stage animal,
32:47and Sinatra, the undisputed leader of the group.
32:49Consider that Sinatra is helping to build
32:51this image that we have of Las Vegas today.
32:53In a Vegas that is becoming legendary,
32:55They spend their nights drinking and flirting in casinos.
32:57and they come back to sleep in the early morning
32:59like a gang of rats.
33:01Why am I telling you this? Because that's what earns them,
33:03the nickname Rat Pack.
33:05Together they put on shows, singing on stage
33:15accompanied by a mobile bar, and conveying the image
33:17of a successful American, who drinks whiskey
33:19in an impeccable suit.
33:21As Sinatra continued to enjoy success, he wanted to share it with his friends.
33:23And he has an idea for a film, which puts on the screen
33:25their friendship, which is so special.
33:27The film's cast includes the Rat Pack,
33:29the whole thing, and the film's title will tell you
33:31Maybe something, Ocean's Eleven.
33:33The story is about a group of friends.
33:35who are about to pull off the biggest heist
33:37of the history of Las Vegas.
33:39Just like the movies with Brad Pitt and George Clooney
33:41which are actually remakes of this film,
33:43I discovered that while making this video.
33:45Ocean's Eleven is enjoying good success,
33:47and the Rat Pack are filming others.
33:49Since they're not exactly masterpieces,
33:50but they alternate styles.
33:51And above all, it allows them to spend their whole day
33:53and their entire evening together.
34:03The public is happy to see so many stars together on screen.
34:05And the marketing ploy works every time.
34:07The Rat Pack is synonymous with talent and success.
34:10so they will quickly become a huge influence
34:13for Americans.
34:14But there's still one thing that's hard to accept.
34:16to the public.
34:17Sammy Davis's skin color.
34:19Segregation is rampant in the USA.
34:21and to see Sinatra being so close to a black man
34:23This is causing some of the public to grind their teeth.
34:26But Sinatra couldn't care less.
34:28On the contrary, he claims it and campaigns for it.
34:30so that all artists,
34:31regardless of their skin color,
34:32be paid the same amount in Las Vegas.
34:34Frank Sinatra and the Rat Pack regularly assemble
34:36at Martin Luther King's rallies,
34:38and openly support his fight
34:40by singing at his galas, etc.
34:42So, perhaps we weren't expecting it
34:43for such a group of partygoers to become activists,
34:45But in reality, it largely comes down to Sinatra's values.
34:47and also to his political ambitions.
34:49By constantly throwing parties,
34:51Sinatra, who is openly democratic,
34:53will meet a lot of people.
34:54For example,
34:55the future American president of that era.
34:57When Sinatra learns that his friend Peter Lafford,
35:04with whom relations are somewhat strained,
35:06is about to become JFK's brother-in-law,
35:09He immediately saw an opportunity.
35:11and does everything to bring him back into the Rat Pack.
35:13Sinatra is fascinated by power.
35:15and the Kennedy family intrigues him.
35:17Especially John, because he has that slightly shady side.
35:19in which he fully recognizes himself.
35:21So, reintegrate Peter into the Rat Pack,
35:24This is a golden opportunity to get closer to John.
35:26And it works.
35:27As soon as Sinatra and John see each other,
35:29It's a favorite.
35:30In addition to sharing the same worldview and its political implications,
35:32They share the same taste for alcohol.
35:34for women,
35:35and for all excesses.
35:36Sinatra is captivated by the world of JFK,
35:39And it's reciprocal.
35:40They are two enormous sharks in the jet-set world.
35:43And their friendship is so strong,
35:44that they do not hesitate to make life easier for themselves,
35:46and mutually yield.
35:47And this support is welcome for JFK.
35:49because he is far from being the favorite
35:51in the presidential elections against Nixon.
35:53That's precisely what Sinatra is going to do.
35:54in the song High Hopes,
35:55which served as John Kennedy's campaign music.
35:58Well, singing is good,
36:12But what interests the Kennedy family most,
36:14and especially Joe, JFK's father,
36:16It's his ties to the mafia.
36:18Mathematically, he knows his son has no chance
36:21to win the election against Nixon.
36:23And if he wants to have a chance,
36:24It is necessary to sway states to their side.
36:26Joe Kennedy, this is far from the first time
36:28that he is appealing to the mafia.
36:29He made his fortune by illegally supplying
36:31alcohol in the USA during Prohibition,
36:33And frankly, it's impossible.
36:35that he never had to deal with the underworld
36:37to protect its cargo.
36:38So, this isn't his first attempt.
36:40And that's where Sinatra's contacts come in.
36:42Joe is going to give him a footjob.
36:43so that he might slip in a few words
36:44to Giancana, the boss of the Chicago mafia,
36:46And like Illinois, it's a very important state.
36:48for the election,
36:49He asks him to influence people
36:51to vote for his son.
36:52And it works.
36:53Despite a suspicious number of votes
36:55in Texas and Illinois,
36:57JFK wins the election
36:58and becomes the 35th president of the United States.
37:01We are observing today
37:04not a victory for one party,
37:07but a celebration of freedom,
37:10symbolizing an end
37:12as well as a beginning,
37:15signifying a renovation
37:17as well as changes.
37:19My fellow citizens of the world,
37:22don't ask
37:24what America will do for you,
37:27but what we can do together
37:29for the freedom of man.
37:36It's crazy that Sinatra has a connection to this.
37:39That's crazy.
37:40And Sinatra, he's overjoyed.
37:41His buddy is the president
37:43of the world's leading power.
37:44And furthermore, in his position,
37:45Sinatra portrayed the mafia too well.
37:47Who expects a favor in return?
37:49etc, whatchamacallit, no, no.
37:50He is even in charge of hosting
37:52JFK's inauguration gala.
37:54When he has the honor of escorting
37:55Jackie Kennedy towards her husband,
37:56Sinatra is certainly thinking this
37:58to his future role as ambassador to Italy
38:00or any other title
38:01who could be waiting for him.
38:02But nothing goes as planned.
38:03As soon as he is elected,
38:04JFK will distance himself
38:05with Sinatra.
38:06And even if his friend,
38:07It's the Kennedy family
38:08who thinks he has a bad influence
38:10and that he sees it
38:11a bit of a bad look.
38:12Even worse, JFK appoints his brother Robert
38:14at the head of the Department of Justice.
38:16And to restore his family's image,
38:18his brother is waging an active struggle
38:20against the mafia
38:21and the world of organized crime.
38:23And that, I might as well tell you.
38:24that's terrible news
38:25for Sinatra who finds himself
38:26to make the stamp
38:27between the mafia
38:28and the president
38:29of the United States.
38:30There is one person
38:31that we mentioned
38:32a little while ago
38:33which is not very related
38:34with the mafia
38:35but which also has a link
38:36very strong with Sinatra
38:37and JFK,
38:38that's obviously
38:39Marilyn Monroe.
38:40It's 1962
38:41and the last weekend
38:42before his death,
38:43she passed it
38:44at Cal Neva Lodge
38:45where Sinatra invited her
38:46to spend time with him
38:47and the godfather
38:48John Kana.
38:49At the time, Sinatra and Marilyn
38:50see each other very often.
38:52She has a habit of hanging around
38:53with his mafia buddies
38:54and it's even him
38:55who introduced him to John
38:56and Robert Kennedy
38:57with whom she is suspected
38:58to maintain relationships.
38:59The problem,
39:00that was that weekend,
39:01Marilyn will finish
39:02in a bad state.
39:03She was repatriated unconscious.
39:04at the Los Angeles hospital
39:06and nobody really knows
39:07what happened to him.
39:09A context that becomes
39:10even stranger
39:11when we know that she will be
39:12found dead
39:13of an overdose
39:14a few days later at her home.
39:28Her ex-husband,
39:29Joe DiMaggio,
39:30who remained very close to her,
39:31doesn't really believe it
39:32that all of this is a coincidence.
39:34It's been years
39:35that he sees her sinking
39:36in alcohol,
39:37the drugs
39:38and depression
39:39and he's holding Sinatra
39:40partly responsible
39:41of this situation.
39:42He resents him
39:43for having introduced Marilyn
39:44to brother Kennedy
39:45who accuses him
39:46of having him assassinated.
39:47Sinatra,
39:48his entourage
39:49and the Kennedy family
39:50are downright undesirable
39:51at the cremation ceremony
39:52of Marilyn.
40:10Well, Marilyn's death,
40:11It's a story within a story.
40:12and we may never
40:13the last word,
40:14So I'm not even going home
40:15in the details of the murder
40:16of JFK
40:17which will take place a year later.
40:18But,
40:20It's in the middle of all that.
40:21There are many theories
40:22and one of them
40:23it goes all the way back to the mafia
40:25who would have felt wronged
40:26after helping her
40:27to win his election.
40:28That same year,
40:29in 1963,
40:30Franck Junior,
40:31Sinatra's son,
40:32is going to get kidnapped.
40:33Paré Kinan and Joseph Micheline,
40:35these two kidnappers,
40:36demand a ransom
40:37of $240,000
40:38And the FBI is on the case.
40:40Sinatra accepts
40:41to pay the ransom
40:42and apparently,
40:43Frank Sinatra Junior
40:44is released unharmed
40:45after having succeeded
40:46to negotiate himself
40:47and to persuade his captors
40:48to release him.
40:49That's normal.
41:06if you understand
41:07everyone,
41:08That's normal.
41:09if you understand
41:11and that he be
41:12to release him.
41:13That's normal, if you don't understand anything, everything about this story is strange.
41:21The kidnappers are tried and imprisoned, but the public has some doubts.
41:25They wondered, what if it was a publicity stunt?
41:28At the time, Sinatra Junior was far from having the fame of his father,
41:31And naturally, such a case generates media attention.
41:33Faced with all these rumors, the FBI speaks out and denies the theory of the fake kidnapping.
41:38We are now entering the final years of Sinatra's glory.
41:41The gentleman is starting to get old.
41:42But despite his eventful life, he holds up very well against the competition.
41:45and to new emerging styles of music such as rock, for example.
41:48For three years, he was even CEO and founder of Reprise Records.
41:52his own record label, with which he will sign his friends from the Rat Pack,
41:55Dean Martin and Sammy Davis Jr.
41:56Between Jimi Hendrix, The Kings,
41:59Reprise Records has no shortage of big names,
42:00Even Nancy Sinatra, Frank's daughter, is signed to her father's old company.
42:04And given the kind of music it is, kids like the Beatles or the Stones aren't going to scare him.
42:20They're sweeping up everything in their path, okay.
42:22But Sinatra is the boss, and he intends to prove it to them.
42:24In 1966, he recorded Strangers in the Night,
42:28which went straight to number 1 on Billboard.
42:31Despite Sinatra's success and long career,
42:32This is only the second time this has happened.
42:45Ten months later, he reached first place again with
42:49Something Stupid, in a duet with his daughter.
42:51Quite simply, the first father-child collaboration in history
42:54to reach the top of the charts.
43:11And we must mention the other song that will help elevate Sinatra's career,
43:16thanks to Claude François.
43:21And all day long, I'm going to play pretend.
43:28And with it all, when there was doubt,
43:34I ate it up, then spit it out.
43:39My Way is Sinatra's biggest hit.
43:55A classic among classics, forever linked to his image.
43:58Claude François' version works well,
44:00but Sinatra's, even more so.
44:02The same year as the release of My Way,
44:05the Apollo 11 mission, with astronauts Neil Armstrong on board,
44:08Buzz Aldrin and Michael Collins, speeding towards the Moon.
44:12To entertain themselves, they brought music cassettes with them.
44:15Where is this music located?
44:17Well, even though Sinatra's version is a cover,
44:34This is the music Buzz Aldrin would have put in his headphones to bounce around on the Moon.
44:38And that's how Frank Sinatra supposedly became the first artist to have been played on the Moon.
44:52It makes the guy look cool.
44:53I'm sorry, it makes the guy look cool.
44:55No one in the world could have predicted that ten years ago.
44:57It's such an improbable anecdote.
44:59And when he hears the news, Frank Sinatra is like a madman.
45:02In the early 1970s, he was at the height of his fame.
45:05And at the same time, how do you expect to go higher than the moon?
45:07I don't know.
45:08But in any case, one thing is certain: his age is starting to catch up with him.
45:11and his failures too.
45:16It's difficult to make yourself desirable when you're as omnipresent in the media landscape as he is.
45:21And this is reflected in sales figures.
45:23His two albums, A Man Alone and Watertown,
45:26They do not achieve the expected success and Sinatra begins to seriously question things.
45:29And I do a bit more thinking and contemplation these days.
45:33that I'm 25 years old.
45:35One of the things I've been thinking about,
45:37That's why you need to be famous.
45:40to receive an award for helping other people.
45:421971 was the year Sinatra won,
46:12the John Ursholt Humanitarian Award,
46:15to congratulate him on his humanitarian commitment.
46:17But it's also the time of his retirement.
46:18He announced the news on June 13, 1971.
46:42That's suitable for me.
46:43because I've been a saloon monkey all my life,
46:48I've become an expert on saloon songs.
46:52Things that cause men to cry into their beers,
46:59because they are having trouble with their daughters,
47:03and they are looking for small bars.
47:08It's really a caricature of a single person.
47:13After 36 years of career,
47:15He takes his final bow in one last concert.
47:17The Voice is going to finish its golden years in Vegas
47:20and leaves the stage to the newcomer.
47:21But as for experiencing the scene,
47:36and success like Sinatra was able to achieve.
47:38It's difficult to let go of everything.
47:39So nobody really believes it
47:40when they announce they're leaving.
47:42And they did the right thing.
47:42It wasn't very credible.
47:44Barely two years later,
47:45he's back with the album
47:45All Blue Eyes is Back,
47:47in reference to his nickname
47:48All Blue Eyes,
47:49which comes from the color of her eyes.
47:51And until his death,
48:18Sinatra's life will continue
48:19at this same frenetic pace,
48:21without ever truly reconnecting
48:22with the success of yesteryear,
48:23with one exception.
48:25Its title,
48:26New York, New York
48:27which was released in 1979.
48:30Sinatra covers the song
48:31sung by Lisa Minnelli
48:32in the film by Martin Scorsese
48:33of the same name.
48:51And New York, New York instantly becomes
49:02the city's anthem.
49:05She's on everyone's lips
49:06residents proud to live there
49:07in the city that never sleeps.
49:09And that's actually where it comes from.
49:10that's where this sentence comes from.
49:11Today, there is a debate
49:12to find out what the anthem of New York is.
49:15The oldest generations
49:16remain attached to Sinatra.
49:17while the most recent
49:18they are more likely to think of
49:19Empire State of Mind
49:20by Jay-Z and Alicia Keys.
49:22Song in which, moreover
49:23Jay-Z is referencing Sinatra.
49:36In short, in short, in short.
49:37Sinatra is no longer really an event,
49:39But he managed to stay close to the most powerful.
49:41Despite his friendship with JFK
49:42and his political convictions,
49:43he regularly displays
49:44alongside Reagan and Nixon,
49:47two American presidents,
49:48but this time Republicans.
50:05Sinatra is even charged
50:06to organize the inaugural ball
50:07from Nixon,
50:08which doesn't make much sense,
50:10especially when you know
50:10that he would have helped him lose
50:11between them when the election for Kennedy.
50:13The slightly ironic little thing,
50:15What's funny is that at this ball,
50:15he even allowed himself
50:16to sing the song
50:17My Kind of Town,
50:19where it ultimately talks about Chicago.
50:20one of the cities
50:21that he helped to tip the balance
50:22the elections at the time.
50:23Well, there you have it, it's a bit ironic.
50:24But it's funny.
50:25But if his political convictions
50:50seem to have changed a bit,
50:51his attraction to women
50:52and especially that of others.
50:53no way.
50:54In 1975,
50:55he would even have spent a night
50:56with Jackie Kennedy,
50:57JFK's widow,
50:58with whom he was secretly in love.
51:00Suspects are also
51:00of having had a history
51:01with Nancy Reagan,
51:02the wife of President Ronald Reagan.
51:05At least, a little nuance.
51:05that's what Sinatra's friends
51:07they say about him.
51:07He has always hated the media
51:09and he granted
51:09He gave very few interviews in his life.
51:11Jimmy Van Hassen,
51:12his friend and composer
51:13with whom he works very often,
51:14even stated that Sinatra
51:15would go to prison for 1000 years
51:16if he were to write a book about himself.
51:18So maybe it's
51:19just rumors
51:19to shape his legend,
51:21but that could also explain
51:22why Sinatra preferred
51:23keep a low profile
51:24and that he hates the media just as much.
51:26Let's not kid ourselves,
51:27the image that emerges of Sinatra,
51:28it's more like a guy's
51:29somewhat odious,
51:30Unbearable on a daily basis, basically.
51:31The type of person
51:31who doesn't like to be contradicted
51:33and who does everything as he pleases.
51:34It's not super cool either, you know.
51:36Sinatra is freedom
51:37and America.
51:39But the one from the movies.
51:40The one we would have liked to know,
51:42but which surely never existed.
51:44He hates being alone,
51:45who shared all his time
51:46between women,
51:47influential people
51:48and his drinking buddies from the Rat Pack,
51:50finally ended his life
51:52alone in his corner.
51:54Age and a life of excellence
51:55led to burying
51:56a good part of his entourage
51:57in the 80s and 90s,
51:59leaving him, certainly,
52:00All alone at the summit.
52:17And that's also why.
52:26that his career is coming to an end
52:27does a little
52:27pity, in quotation marks,
52:29because he remains a star, etc.
52:31but it appears
52:31completely disconnected
52:32of reality,
52:33kind of
52:34a kind of caricature
52:35of his own accord.
52:35He lives with his own ghost.
52:36You see.
52:37He goes on stage drunk,
52:39he forgets the lyrics
52:39of his songs.
52:40In Vegas,
52:54he did not betray
52:55in his bubble of glory,
52:56as if nobody
52:57he hadn't really told her
52:58that he was beginning to be overwhelmed,
53:00or that he refused
53:00to admit it.
53:01Vegas lost
53:02on its controversial side,
53:04and it gives the impression
53:04that it evolves
53:05in a setting
53:05of papier-mâché,
53:06in search of happiness
53:08and success
53:08all the while knowing very well
53:09that he will not find him
53:10Never again.
53:11His last appearance
53:12on stage will take place
53:13February 25, 1995,
53:16at a gala
53:16charity
53:17organized by his wife.
53:18In December of the same year,
53:47all the elite
53:48American artists
53:49meets in Los Angeles
53:50to celebrate his 80th birthday
53:51with great pomp
53:52and pay tribute to him.
53:53He appears tired.
53:55barely loose
53:55two notes into the microphone
53:56but he remains surrounded
53:57of the entire show business
53:58and people
53:59that he inspired.
53:59Sinatra is over 50 years old
54:16career
54:16spanning seven decades.
54:20That's more than 50 films
54:21and 150 million
54:22albums sold
54:22in the world.
54:23All of that
54:23with a problem
54:24audition
54:25and without knowing how to read
54:25a score
54:26or write a song.
54:27He thwarted
54:28somewhere
54:28all predictions
54:29by becoming
54:30the first idol
54:30young people,
54:31an Oscar-winning actor,
54:32a successful singer,
54:34the king of Las Vegas.
54:35He's seen it all
54:36and it has long been seen
54:37like a model
54:38for many Americans.
54:40SO,
54:40weakened
54:40by problems
54:41health,
54:42SINATRA will end
54:42by succumbing
54:43to a heart attack.
54:44The Empire State Building
54:46will then light up
54:47of the same blue
54:48that his eyes
54:49upon the announcement of his death
54:50May 14, 1998.
55:03The Way to America
55:04has passed away.
55:05This is the end of an era.
55:06and one of the longest investigations
55:07of the FBI.
55:09SINATRA leaves behind
55:10a legendary life
55:11and history
55:12to which we will not have
55:13maybe never
55:13the last word.
55:14He leaves behind
55:15huge musical successes
55:16at the cinema
55:16but above all
55:17an indelible imprint
55:18that of his voice
55:19on some
55:20the greatest classics
55:21Americans.
55:22And for a good part
55:23Christmas music
55:24that you will hear
55:2524/7
55:25everywhere
55:26in the stores
55:27Christmas TV movies
55:28stupid
55:28during this month of December.
55:30Oh, what is a man
55:32What has he got
55:36If not himself
55:39Then he has not
55:42Not to say
55:45The things
55:46That he truly feels
55:49And not the words
55:52Of one who kneels
55:56That record shows
55:59I took all the phone
56:02And in it
56:06My way
56:11Because yes
56:17basically
56:17if I talk to you about this
56:18that's because in fact
56:19Christmas is coming

56:28I hope
56:29that you liked it
56:30to know a little bit
56:31plus the life of
56:32this voice
56:33that we all know
56:33at that time
56:34I loved it.
56:35to do it
56:35because of his story
56:36is crazy
56:37It really looks like it
56:38Serge the liar
56:39the guy
56:39And I didn't suspect anything
56:41how much
56:42it was also legendary
56:42So it's incredible
