FRANK SINATRA's FAVORITE Palm Springs Hangout - Melyn's INGLESIDE INN & Restaurant 

Barbara was his 4th wife. Nancy, Ava Gardener, and Mia Farrow

Just Fyi, Steve...Frank was married 4 times, not twice. Nancy, mother of jis children, Ava Gardner, Mia Farrow and then Barbara. Love everything you blog!

Lily Pons, was a French-American operatic soprano and actress who had an active career from the late 1920s through the early 1970s. As an opera singer, she specialized in the coloratura soprano repertoire and was particularly associated with the title roles in Lakmé and Lucia di Lammermoor. In addition to appearing as a guest artist with many opera houses internationally, Pons enjoyed a long association with the Metropolitan Opera in New York City, where she performed nearly 300 times between 1931 and 1960.

Thank you for covering Dads place... We Love and miss you Dad🥺🥺🥺😘😘😘 PS & the Inn are not the same without you....🥺🥺

Thanks, Steve, for taking me along on your tour of an elegant place I will never see in person.

You are always so nice and polite when you video. Such a beautiful place.

I genuinely appreciate your work. It is refreshing and uplifting to see videos that are not only interesting but also presented in a positive way with nostalgia and in a way that makes me recall the time in my life when I was young and watched most of the personalities perform in their various shows and movies. It is a very refreshing break from all of the doom and gloom that is just about everywhere you look nowadays. Thanks.

I love these vlogs from sunny, warm places. Here in Canada where it is still cold I can feel the heat coming right thru the screen, may have to put on some sunblock. :) Great job, Steve.

July 2023-update: The historic Ingleside INN is now the Ingleside ESTATE under the Proper Hospitality 'Collective' branding. Collective has a number of historic boutique hotels. They include the Avalon Hotel Palm Springs and Beverly hills, Venice V Hotel, The Culver in Culver City. and Paia (on the Hana Hwy) in Hawaii. (The new sign at the front corner entrance at least retains the classic script font of the old Ingleside.)

I kinda liked that first inscription on Frank's grave "The Best Is Yet To Come" Oh well, the family decides. Great to see the warm sunshiny Palm Springs. Nice Hotel. I'd be at the bar.

Some Cultural History right here Steve👏 Good to see you hanging with a fellow Canadian 🇨🇦

Palm Springs is beautiful. Lovely vid. Take care Steve.

I miss the original kitschy interior with all the fake plants and white painted lattice work covered in dust! We used to go there for Thanksgiving when my sons were young in the 90’s and early 2000’s

Always interested in Frank Sinatra. And Palm Springs is beautiful.

Beautiful hotel and Restaurant Steve. Thanks, kisses from Italy 🍕🍲

Great vlog, Steve, as always These are places. I will never get to see. Good to see places where the famous used to hang out as, well Yes we liked that! Kindest regards from the UK.

Steve. Great vlog as always. Old Blue Eyes will live on forever in his movies and music. Please wear your mask. Covid is on the rise here in Las Vegas. Best to Jim. Stay safe.

So many interesting places in PS. When you live there you don't even realize some of the history. Thanks for sharing your adventures. I'm looking forward to moving back down there sometime in the next few months. I miss it.

It’s so nice to step back in time& see the opulent Hollywood era of bygone years. And I’m with you, Steve, I am easily distracted these days!😆

Thank you for sharing your video 📸 hope you and your friend are doing well and your family very nice home 🏠

Great work! I was just down in Palm Springs and thought about Frank...thanks for sharing!

I was watching with my mom, and she said my dad went there a lot with his boss who had a house in palm desert and my dad was his personal security on trips. She said my dad had been there also, when he was in the secret service, before we moved to California. So that is pretty cool to think my dad was there where you and Scott were. Just became a patreon. I am a big fan of yours. Love your videos so much.

Love my armchair travels down memory lane!

Saw on Instagram you met John Waters, lucky you my friend. Love Frank and the music that will live forever.

great video steve keep the great work

Thank you for this video Steve. So many celebrities have been here - just amazing - a beautiful setting and facility. I can't get over the wealth of things to see in your town. Great video. Have a wonderful weekend. Blessings-Judith 🎵🎭

I just love your videos very informative and done very classy! Great job!

Nice team work and that was definitely high end.

Every video I've seen of yours is really awesome Steve. It's fun watching you with the other guys too. I've seen Jordan and Scott on Tapes stuff too. I really appreciate all the work you do for us.

That was definitely a cool video Steve. Thanks a lot. It was also very enjoyable to see you and Scott together. Both of you are the First channels that I subscribed to on RU-vid & I've been enjoying them for a few years now. Thank you so much Steve you're doing a great job and I look forward to the next video. Take care and see you later!

I have a great memory at Melvyns.

Enjoyed this video very much...thank you both..

Thanks you steve my dear friend

You do High Quality work, Steve. Very enjoyable and I learn something every time! Thank You.

Thanks Steve love the scene of Palm Springs and Sinatra home. Keep up the fabulous job.

Steve forgive me but... it is important for you and your viewers to know that those photographs you admired so much in Melvyn's were not all taken there. In fact, the late owner Mel Haber had several clubs and restaurants in the greater Coachella Valley area, all of them quite popular with a certain celebrity clientele, so much so that he had a photographer (Allen) on staff to capture moments when a famous person were to come in. Over the years he amassed quite a few photos taken at his many clubs all over the county. Late in life he had sold everything but the Ingleside Inn and decided to gather up all of his celebrity photos, have them framed, and hung on that wall in the bar at Melvyn's for old time sake and to show off his many famous friends he had. Haha.. Only a couple of them were taken at Melvyn's, such as the one with John Travolta (I was performing there that summer night when it was taken. John was not pleased and he hated Mel Haber for it). It is not surprising that people nowadays like to think that all those famous people really were at Melvyn's when in fact it is not true. It is easy to get all impressed and all excited and stat struck I suppose, but beware Steve. Yes Melvyn's had a celebrity clientele (I performed there periodically from the 1970s on and saw many many) but sadly Steve not those celebrities and certainly not in those photographs. Steve you can ask around to any of the folks that have lived here for ages (I've lived here 43+ years), or ask former mayor and now Palm Springs historian Will Kleindienst or ask Mel Habers adult children like his son or his daughter. They will tell you just what I have. Please don't be fooled by any of the stardust around here or any of the BS or exaggerations. Palm Springs has much to boast about without resorting to falsehoods and chicanery from clever promoters. Just a bit of helpful hints that's all.

Great tour!! I love Palm Springs!! So nice to see you hanging out with Scott!!

i love your video and historic land marks cool

I learn so much from your videos Steve! Thank you very much for all your hard work!👍😀

great video MR steve hope you are doing well sir

Another good video. FYI there is another Toronto located in Ohio near Steubenville.

Very beautiful place and very interesting good work Steve

I love what masks do for the dialogue. LOL. Are Palms Springs best days behind it? Are Hollywood types still hanging out there? Great video; the light banter was nice.

Very nice location ! Realy !

I would frame that napkin love that one

Great video . Scott videos are good too

Love Scott.

I liked the nest in the hair line. Very funny.

That was a very interesting video

Beautiful

Really enjoyed the tour!

Very cool video.

I want a mask like yours Steve. Look at my 2 favorites. Thank you. My father stayed at that hotel in the 1950's. What year I'm not sure. 55 or 56.

Lilly pons was an opera singer of the 1920s to the 60s allegedly Walt Disney was a fan of hers and it's said that he chose Andrea Casselotti for the part of snow-white because of her imitation of Lilly pons version of the bell song from Lakme if you listen to the wishing well song it's very reminiscent of pons version of the bell song (bell song, well song am I missing something here!) eh, compare the two on youtube Lilly pretty much does some of the same gestures and high vocals we see snow-white do in the Disney movie.

Lilly Pons was a French opera Singer

Have driven by many times but never gone up the drive.

I love the old California Spanish architecture. Just a correction, you said Barbara was Frank’s second wife, don’t forget Ava Gardner was number 2.

HI love it

Hello Steve 👋 very good vlog my friend I like anything to do with old blue eyes.. have you had your mom memorial service yet?I'm subscribed to Scott channel also

Love his music 👍❤️

Cool party house

Frank was the man. He still is.

Did Charles Bronson ever spend much time in Palm Springs? He and his wife, Jill Ireland, had a horse farm here in Vermont not far from me. Bronson is buried, reportedly with some of Jill's ashes, in a local Vermont country cemetery. He did not seem to be the Palm Springs type of guy.
