How Frank Sinatra made Bruce Lee's career 

The only relation Bruce had to Sinatra was that Bruce did it his own way.

That's b.s. Bruce made himself become the legend he is.

What a load of crap. Sinatra had nothing to do with him and his success.

The Kato scenes were from Dragon The Bruce Lee Story played by Jason Scott Lee, not Bruce Lee.

That's a lie! Bruce was already WELL known before Sinatra had anything to do with him. How can anyone do a biography on someone they haven't met. Its all hear-say and conjecture nothing more.

I never heard these stories and I've been a Bruce Lee fan since the 60's.

So I suppose Sinatra was Lee's stunt double by the title of this video .....

Everybody loves cashing in on Bruce Lee . Reading other biographies and write what you read? But nonetheless, he's keeping the Bruce Lee legacy alive.

Didn't have a proper biography???? There's loads of biographies about the man and they're all good.

Click bait!! They talked for 5 seconds about Sinatra. No where did they ever say Sinatra made Bruce Lee famous. He did it on his own!!!

I love you Bruce Lee's

'The first time I met Bruce Lee was when I watched enter the dragon'

Looking through the pictures you can see how much extensive research was done on this book. A photo of Bruce fighting Bob Baker says Bruce fighting Bob Wall. Come on! Really?

Not true...Bruce Lee creater his Biography . He smart man and have amazing vision in his carear natural.

Correction please! Norris, was NOT his match!!!!!

Yeah I heard this story before its pretty cool. Bruce was great.

He will be the only legend of BRUCE LEE FAST BUT FURIOUS! ! ! !

I contributed Bruce Lees career more than Sinatra even just watching his movies.

I love Bruce Lee no one fighter Bruce Lee in the world 🌏

I couldn't stop looking at his nose.

Nothing of new ..., anyway during the funeral in Seattle were played songs like "My way" and "When i'll die". Bruce loved so much bouth.

The book by Linda Lee, "Bruce Lee, the man only I Knew." Was great and released in 1975 I believe. Another one, by Alex Ben Block was good. This is the first time I've heard anything about Sinatra....Never heard that or read that anywhere.

To continue that last story,, Bruce bought a Porsche like Steve McQueen's and drove to the Dojo of Bob Wall and Chuck Norris, hitting the sidewalk hard. They came out of their class to see if anyone was hurt only to see Bruce climbing out of his new car, asking if Bob or Chuck wanted to take a ride with him. They both declined, gave a quick excuse and ran inside the Dojo

Apparently he never heard of Alex Ben Block who wrote an excellent biography on Lee.

Wow, that's actually pretty interesting. He kicked the crap out of Sammy Davis Jr's Bodyguard, by total accident, without even trying. This should be a funny moment, however the fact that he was so prepped that he could kick ass by accident just makes him more awesome.

This book was hard to put down. Matthew Polly, I applaud you.

bruce lee is kind of like Andy Warhol art, Elvis in John Lennon's jumpsuit

Clickbait title, Bruce made himself!

Great comments guys!

Interesting, I wanted to be Bruce Lee too until I went to Seattle to visit Bruce Lee grave site 2004 and Bruce Lee ghost scare me straight. As Asian we know not to be stepping on someone else grave site or their home and that I was there as a visitor and a fan. I forgot to say I’m a visitor and please apologize and forgive me for intruding into your home or grave site. I thought that I was there as a fan but got the scare of my life next two nights later while I was in Seattle. I live in California but if I ever go to Seattle again, I would respect the dead and for most and be respectful as it was their home.

Wasn't it a guy called Jay Sebring? Who was a celebrity hair stylist, (and later killed along with Sharon Tate by the Manson family) that had went to a Karate championship, and seen Bruce's demonstrations. Then when cutting William Dozier's hair one day (Executive producer of Batman and The Green Hornet), suggested Bruce was the man for the job, as William was looking for a Asian actor/martial artist to play Kato?

This guy never met Bruce Lee,he is just making up stories as he goes along, Lee made himself famous thru hard work, and was born with a great talent and a big chunk of charisma, and was a very spiritual person.!!!

I did it my way - bruce lee

The Mafia made Sinatra's career.

@4:21 by all accounts??? According to the OFFICIAL professional driving instructer he was the greatest driver he had ever saw. So no, not by "all accounts".

This book actually bored me up until the last 3/4 of the book when went to the hospital the first time. Up until then I had a very hhard time staying interested. very little talk of challenges or fights ..which is not what Ive heard from many many people, inclusing Linda saying he was always being challenged. Yet the book doesnt give me that idea, It makes me feel like..... I must have missed a few chapters of somethng, wheres all the big challenges & fights etc. .... Maybe I need to check out Lindas book.

Lord, Jason Scott Lee playing Kato WAS NOT BRUCE LEE.

he said in the dragon the bruce lee story to his wife linda in the movie "did I ever tell you I was the cha cha champion in hung kung

My cousin said it was rumored that when they opened up Bruce Lee's colon at his autopsy they found bolos wristwatch in there

Actually, yes that event can happen, but it isn't what caused his true fame, maybe partially a story, a nice badass story. Green Hornet (Kato in Hong Kong) was so famous in HK because of Bruce they just named it Kato. Since America wasn't working, Bruce decided to go to Hong Kong because why not, with his son Brandon Lee! Little did Bruce know BAM! He was already 75% famous there in Hong Kong! He did meet with his master Ip Man again! (He also took pictures with Ip Man and his son together, you can find them). Also Big Boss was a good starting point too because of his friend. Did you also know Bruce collected Elvis Presley Albums? Man, so many legends back then!

It was Vic s body gaurd not Sammie s

Awesome i have to get THAT!😄😊😉😉😉I believe it because HOLLYWOOD ITSELF is connections ! Bruce probably made THOUSANDS of connections that same WAY!

Story goes, Bruce Lee kicked Vic Damon's bodyguard. The bodyguard hit the door and broke the door . All written Bruce Lee A fighting Spirit. He was drafted for the Vietnam war but failed physical due to undescended testicles .

So how did Sinatra help Bruce? I just got fished

*45th* anniversary of his death today

I've read several Lee biographies, and Polly's was by far the most comprehensive.

Bruce Lee love Frank Sinatra song “MY WAY”. However Paul Anka written the song and the lyrics.

This guy adding stuff to sale books.I've researched Bruce Lee since i was 13 never heard any story of Bruce Lee beating up Frank Sinatra's bodyguard ,he probably could ,but no other celebrity Bruce Taught at that time has mentioned this story.

This may be a good biography but Bruce Lee has a proper biography out there written by Linda Lee Cadwell like the book The BL's story. Brandon Lee his son would always remind interviewers that if you wanna know about my father's life there are good books out there that lay facts about my father's life for those who are interested. I agree, there are good accurate biography books of Bruce Lee out for grabs right now.

Next, I’m going to find out that Sinatra taught him how to kick.

He spent a decade researching. I think he spent more time than that without knowing

Both are Sagittarians also Sammy Davis Jr. Shout out to my fellow Sagittarians.😎♐

They want to give a Caucasian man the credit.. get use to it.

Confusing title

How Bruce lee made chuck norris carrer

All this news is for people who do not read books or are ignorant about Bruce.And that said in a good way.

Chuck even said Bruce was to good for him and they were good friends

I wanna Bruce Lee this guy -u-

Its Friday July 20th same day he died

Who's that Lady?

Does Frank sinaTra know KungFu.👹

frank sinatras is not even mentioned in this news piece

bruce tried to blew chuck chest hairs off his fingers. But, it's still stuck. :p

Frank Sinatra?? LOL sure. This guy had nothing to do with Bruce Lee's success. Get REAL! Bruce Lee's determination is what made him a success

The song"my way" probably influenced mr. Lee to pursue his dreams of being an actor in a racist Hollywood time period. But that was about it, imo. Bruce is alpha as it gets.

Sinatra once took Bruce to the ground in 3 moves. True story

& I TAUGHT""" BRUCE LEE HOW TO KICK HIGHER CUZ I ONLY GOT 1 BALL

The Vic Dimone story has been told several ways and is not true.🙏

Esau ... hated Bruce n still does ... the most high real n da devil knew he was a threat. Still trying to belittle and take credit for his impact on Martial arts. Mma. Ufc. Fight choreography. Sinatra, gene labelle, chuck norris ... just stop!!

Completely wrong guys get a hold on of Jessie glover book between wing Chun and j k d , Jessie heard about it. And was surprised that Bruce had not told him , he said he got into a fight with Vic bodyguard and it wasn’t a big deal , he was not talking too much about it , because he thought the body guard was mobbed up , and he never met Sinatra in his life, In letters too the dragon by John little he talked about going too Vegas , and hoping too met him, but it didn’t happen , also the fight with you Chun Polly got wrong as wel yip Chun was not in. Hong Kong when Bruce Lee was alive he said so on you tube , what happened the Star printed a story saying yip Chun had seen Bruce Lee dropped during chi sau and Bruce sued the sun , Polly you are a joke and there are many good books on Bruce s life. Linda am Alex are the two best . By the way the only connection Bruce had with. The rat pack , was with dean martin when he worked on , the wrecking crew , and he brought Sammi Davies gun from robin and the 7 hoods

Great respect for Sinatra, but he didn't make Bruce Lee.

BEEEE AAAAASSSS!!!!

Frank Sinatra did NOT "make" Bruce Lee's career. That's a ridiculous claim to bait people into clicking on this video.

what a crock, frank had zero effect on his career. you might as well give the cameraman who filmed his movies the credit for his career.

Old Blue Eyes and The Dragon.

How tediously predictable to use that Carl Douglas song. Whoever made that decision should find a new job.

What if this was all true!?

Lol

What a load of bollocks! He did not become famous throughout Hollywood because of this, this is the first time I have heard of this and to my knowledge this is not what put Bruce on the map. Coming from a big fan. This guy is out to make some money from anyone who is a big enough sucker to buy his book.

bruce lee dent even knows whos frank sinatra

BIG QUESTION MARK HERE

😂😂😂😂😂

.

Sinatra didn't do anything for Bruce lee !

Huh I don't believe on it Frank made his life Bruce Lee master did not need anyone to made his life he already made his life when he born ok. And Bruce Lee master is God of martial arts.

Hi guys it was Vic damone not Frankie he never met frank this go to between wing chun and j kd He talks about it this guy is full of rubbish

Who is this guy? The only true biography Is from Linda Lee Caldwell. She wsas Bruce Lee's wife. She was there. The rest are just bunch of get rich quick.

Right, so even Bruce Lee was a bad driver because he was Asian

Hahaha.... Bruce Lee = legend. Today show = utter theatrical crap. biography author = cashing in.

What BS!

meeting his match? Chuck Norris? Ha!

How clever, use Sinatra and sell another Bruce Lee biography! I'm gonna do one on Bruce Lee using Elvis.

That first clip was not BRUCE LEE as Kato. That was a scene from that horrible remake of THE GREEN HORNET by Seth Rogen. Stop being lazy and do your research people; it's the 21st Century how hard could it be to get a clip from the real GREEN HORNET television show in the 60's.

The bombshell of the book is that Bruce Lee is Jewish!
