Watched the first half of From Here to Eternity today. Plan on finishing it tomorrow. I'm a sucker for the classics; blame it on my mom.
One thing it made me realize was how much of a fan I am of good ole Frankie S. Words can't really describe how much of a fan I am of his style. It seems like a big word today is "swagger" defined by urbandictionary as How one presents him or her self to the world. Swagger is shown from how the person handles a situation. It can also be shown in the person's walk. Frank Sinatra may not have been the first guy to have swagger, but he was probably the first to make a living off of it and in my opinion he still ranks near the top. Not bad for a scrawny kid.
Another observation: it's pretty hard to find any videos of Frank actually performing on the 'tube.
Sinatra in a PSA about tolerance. Filmed 1945:
A few of my favorites:
Finally, there are many great songs about NYC, but this one will ALWAYS be on the top (sorry Jigga):
