Rating: Summary: That's Life Review: This is the show that introduced That's Life to the world. I wrote That's Life. Perhaps of some historical interest, this show was taped before the phonograph record was made. The musical arrangement used on the show is by Nelson Riddle. This arrangment that was originally intended for use on the record but was replaced by Ernie Freeman's now classic arrangement when the record was made just a few days before this show aired. Actually, Sinatra did attempt to make the record featuring the Riddle arrangement while he was in England making a film but the attempt failed. Pre recorded tracks were shipped London and Sinatra tried to add his vocals; but, he always preferred recording with a live orchestra and was unhappy with the results of performing to tracks. The recording was ash canned...although it still may be somewhere in the Warner Bros vaults. For now, the only place to hear the arrangement originally intended for use on the recorded version of That's Life is on this video.
Rating: Summary: astonishing live performance Review: This show has everything a Sinatra fan would want. It features the orchestras of Nelson Riddle and Gordon Jenkins, who at times play as though they were imitating Count Basie! It has energeting songs, slow songs, old songs , new songs and even some messing about on camera with Nancy but they are all sung with a quality that you do not often hear on live recordings. A must for a real fan.
Rating: Summary: A Keeper Review: Very entertaining. It leaves you wanting more. Great rendition of his songs with a few twist. Sintra gives his all and dosen't hold back.
