    Those who travel gentle in the world are seldom
    recognized as gentlemen by others. They go their
    own way hopefully secure within themselves
    that what they do is honest. Never must the world
    be judge or jury. The payment rests with God.

    The verdict known to those men only and carried in
    their private pockets. If we must judge, let us use the
    mirror on our own wall first for practice.

    Perspective has its problems, but all a man need do
    is look into a stranger's or a friend's good eyes to see
    the sunset's truest color. Better than a crystal ball or
    the most advanced kaleidoscope.

    Happy 99th Birthday, Frank.

    You and Nat Cole have always been heard on my music speakers since the age of 13. Thanks for letting nothing stand in your way of producing timeless, GOOD music. You have a deserved, strong International legacy.

    Cheers.

    Frank Sinatra your voice and interpretation of a song changed my musical world, and helped me find friends who truly know the meaning of "The Voice" and for that I will always be grateful, thank you.

    My music listening hobby wouldn't be anywhere as enjoyable, without the one and only, Francis Albert Sinatra.

    I never tire of that video -- Sinatra's artistry is wonderfully on display here. Seriously, can you imagine any other singer taking his place on this and singing those songs? Also, he carries himself so damned cool :)

    I truly love almost everything that ever Frank cut, with true admiration for the Capitol and Reprise years, but if I had to give up everything except one album, there is absolutely no question, that one album would be "Francis Albert Sinatra & Antonio Carlos Jobim". The smoothest and most enjoyable album that I have ever had the pleasure of hearing, bar none! Short and sweet and beautifully moving!

    Happy Birthday Mr. Sinatra . I saw you in concert when I was 12 years old and it was a night I will never forget. Nobody did it better. I have MoFi's Songs for Swingin' Lovers on now.
