Editorial Review:

Amazon.com essential video:
Frank Sinatra had sung on television and even hosted variety specials and series, but when he strutted through the empty hallways of NBC studios, took a stool next to a lonely microphone, and belted out the opening lines to "I've Got You Under My Skin," it was a TV revelation. Here was the mature, confident, at times even swaggering saloon singer and balladeer in a solo showcase: literally, the man and his music. The mix of classic tunes ("I Get a Kick Out of You," "The Lady Is a Tramp," "Witchcraft"), key songs from his 1950s reinvention ("Come Fly with Me," "You Make Me Feel So Young"), and 1960s standards ("My Kind of Town," "This Is All I Ask") is mirrored in an effective medley anchored by "It Was a Very Good Year," giving us a brief tour of his career from the bobby-soxer heartthrob crooning hopeful ditties ("Young at Heart") to the reflective maturity of the artist in 1965 (the melancholy "Last Night When We Were Young"). Vocally, Sinatra is in excellent form--clear and bold, with the dexterity of his 1950s recordings now colored by phrasing at once thoughtful and seemingly spontaneous--and the combination of top-notch arrangements and impeccably chosen material makes this special Sinatra's finest televised hour. --Sean Axmaker

- Sinatra DVD
I bought this dvd for my father for Fathers Day. He is 82. He loves it and has watched it several times. It takes him back to a special time in his life. I am happy they put this dvd togther. I think I will buy him another dvd in the series.

- Frank at his best!
The original Man and his Music special features Frank at the top of his form singing the best from his Scooby Dooby period and more. It really is a pleasure hearing and seeing Sinatra effortlessly belt these tunes out , in total command of his craft and instrument. Nelson Riddle's arrangements and a great orchestra/band are also top notch. It totally holds up, albeit with mono sound, but still a good mix from so long ago.

- Sinatra program
As a devotee of Frank's style, he never could do anything I didn't like, especially with Nelson Riddle conducting. This is surprisingly fresh, given how many years it was made. I enjoyed it.

- Part I is a gem but they did highly screw with Part II
A great program from 42 years ago this very month, broadcast on November 24, 1965. If you are a Sinatra fan you should grab it while it is in print.

A technical note of importance here concerning the FS: Man & His Music Part I [1965] DVD versus the FS: Man & His Music, Part II [1966] DVD:

The DVD transfer for FSMM/Part I was done on a 1:1 timing basis from the videotape. I mean that the pacing on the Part I DVD is not artificially sped-up from the original as I have been ... Read More
