Frank Sinatra supports his favorite baseball team as he sings the USA National Anthem at Dodgers Stadium in Los Angeles on opening day on April 7, 1977. Unfortunately Frank did not have the lyrics with him and muffed the lines as so many other singers have when trying to sing this difficult song.
Recorded from the original reel tape in the Ric Ross Frank Sinatra Collection.

Frank was SO musical that even though he is at times short-winded on the long phrases, he never "cheats" them. And as always, until the and of this days, he makes you pay attention to the CONTENT of the WORDS! Nobody in popular music ever managed to do that so well. And only a very few--a maimed handful--on the classical side.

​@@cr4zyt3enager57I'm sad it isn't available officially. Sinatra in 1977 simply didn't have the voice anymore, but he surely would have been able to truly nail this song in 1943!

Thanks, Jim, for sharing this great rarity. The National Anthem is a tough one. It's very wordy & the range of notes to hit is very difficult.

Granted, but you would expect a professional singer to be able to deal with these "difficulties." Sinatra didn't; he failed.

Was this the only time Frank Sinatra performed the National Anthem because he would have been great at recording it at a studio because he is Frank Sinatra.

I was 7 years old when this took place. The 1970's Dodgers teams were really special. I can envision Steve Garvey, Davey Lopes, Bill Russell, and Ron Cey taking their infield positions right now, and Dusty Baker, Reggie Smith, Rick Monday in the outfield. My dad would bring a radio to the stadium and we would be listening to the simulcast with Vin Scully, Jerry Doggett, and Ross Porter....great memories.

Tough to hear the Chairman in less than perfect voice, and he repeated the “What so proudly” phrase and omitted the “O’er the ramparts”; but it’s history. Nobody’s perfect!

Shad Rack I thought the same exact thing myself. He was so amazing when he was at the top of his game that it hurts to hear him sliding down the other side of that hill, but we can't stop Father time. And yeah, he even blew the lyrics. But an aging Sinatra blowing the lyrics is still an awesome treat. That's how great this guy was.

@@brendanjobe6895 Well at 62 he wasn't quite at the Top of his game, but he was still doing his thing and doing it well. But he was at the top of his game in the Capital years. His recordings in those years eclipsed both what he did on Columbia and later Reprise.

@@brendanjobe6895 Yeah I guess I do. Hey I saw him in the 80's at Carnegie Hall and the Nassau Coliseum and he was fantastic. Was he vintage? Of course not, but he was at the top of his game for that late stage of his career. I'd been listening to him since childhood due to my parents. I love rock and roll but Sinatra was always on my playlist also. When I finally got to see him, the experience was beyond words. He did Send in the clowns with just Tony Mottola accompanying him on the nylon string acoustic and it was pure magic. So yeah, I guess I was talking about the tip top earlier regarding the Capital years.
