Classy, well-written intro to. Sinatra owns "Angel Eyes" but I'm awfully partial as well to Ella Fitzgerald's take on her classic album "The Intimate Ella."

Bruce took that song and made it his own, right in front of The Master.<br />Sinatra's "Only The Lonely" is indeed a superb album. As mentioned above, you can't help but think of Frank's longing for Ava throughout the album. And who wouldn't be broken hearted over losing that Goddess? Holy smokes! <br />Whatta Dame!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02812221895719217031noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4357001616333664522.post-74294253069376586252015-11-05T08:31:55.710-08:002015-11-05T08:31:55.710-08:00Simply stunning....

Forwarded it to a couple of mates - one a Springsteen fan not into Sinatra, the other a devotee of Old Blue Eyes who feigns disinterest in The Boss - and both were well taken with the obvious respect and admiration, not to mention the superb performance. (You did mention it - Ed).

It's not only a great respect shown to another artist, or a loving interpretation it's a deep tribute to Frank's interpretation, and to Frank's unmatched ability as a storyteller from another storyteller, a reckoning of sorts. It's really stunning. As if Bruce had written the song himself, and said "here take this from E-Street, I get it, but this is your soul stamp Frank". Of course Frank was singing about and to Ava Gardner on "Only the Lonely..." and a broken heart has never, ever yielded such depth, brilliance and reward from a singer for listeners (if not for Frankie).

Thanks for showing me the door to yet another "rabbit hole" - this one named "Angel Eyes" - that I can dive into and get myself lost for a long while. Great credit to the Bruce of 20 years ago for the perfect tribute to the closest thing music had to a living god at the time. I've heard critics who didn't appreciate Bruce's effort with this song. Whaaaaat???<br /><br />Iggyeyesiggyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14943661630697527170noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4357001616333664522.post-83690416594028084662015-11-04T05:10:09.905-08:002015-11-04T05:10:09.905-08:00Wonderful!Wonderful!JAYESSEMMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00043689582943456784noreply@blogger.com
