So excited to be like 1,000… this song means so much to me as someone who grew up singing it in car rides with my Dad. I lost him in August and it’s a daily reminder to never settle for love that isn’t All The Way. ❤
I grew up with the songs of The Chairman of the Board himself, Mr. Frank Sinatra. He's my father favorite singer. We're not rich. And the important thing I inherited from my father was his adulation for him. The singer par excellence, Mr. All Blue Eyes Frank Sinatra.💖
Such a great song, thanks for posting -- I think I like his 1961 version a little better than this earlier one. But both are great, thanks for posting this beautiful song.
All The Way When somebody loves you It's no good unless he loves you all the way Happy to be near you When you need someone to cheer you All the way Taller than the tallest tree is That's how it's got to feel Deeper than the deep blue sea is That's how deep it goes if it's real When somebody needs you It's no good unless he needs you all the way Through the good or lean years And for all the in-between years come what may Who knows where the road will lead us Only a fool would say But if you'll let me love you It's for sure I'm gonna love you all the way all the way So, if you'll let me love you It's for sure I'm gonna love you all the way all the way ------------------------- Totalmente Quando qualcuno ti ama Non va bene a meno che ti ami totalmente Felice di starti vicino Quando hai bisogno di qualcuno che ti sostenga Totalmente Più saldo dell’albero più saldo Ecco come deve sentirsi Più profondo dell’azzurro mare Così deve essere se è vero Quando qualcuno ha bisogno di te Non va bene a meno che abbia bisogno di te totalmente Durante gli anni belli o quelli brutti E per tutti gli anni di mezzo sia come sia Chi sa dove ci condurrà la strada Solo uno stupido potrebbe dirlo Ma se tu lasci che ti ami Di sicuro ti amerò totalmente, totalmente Quindi, se tu lasci che ti ami Di sicuro ti amerò totalmente, totalmente.
This, undoubtedly, is my all-time Frank Sinatra number from the movie The Joker is wild. The lyrics are so very true of what can happen to relationships as nothing is permanent. Everything is hunky-dory when a relationship is new, but then misunderstandings creep in and escalate and, before you know it, each partner is going his/her own way. What remains are only bitter-sweet memories of the way things were. Two other great numbers of our dear Frank are Moment to moment and Strangers in the night. Those romantic ballads came straight from Frank's heart!!!
He sounds even better on this live version than the studio cut. In my opinion, his facial expression is a little flat - which often seemed to be case in many of his late 1950s TV appearances, unlike his yearly specials from 1965 till 1969.
It probably has something to do with the orchestra and their playing style. The trumpets at 1:53 cut off his vocal slightly and that’s when he really looked unhappy. Sinatra had exacting standards during live performances as much as he did in the studio.
