'Strictly Sinatra' became a compromise between me and the producers, and neither of us liked the results much.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Sinatra was somebody special.
Here's the mark that a lot of people miss nowadays. Producers missed. They leave out the heart and soul. And that's what I learned from Sammy Davis, Jr., from Frank Sinatra, is when you went to go see those shows, you got to know them.
Sinatra was the biggest influence on my life, my singing career. And rightly so. I mean he was the best singer ever.
My musical development stopped when Frank Sinatra died.
Sinatra had a lot of mood swings, but he was wonderful to my wife Barbara and to me. He made no bones about who he liked and who he loved, and he had this great charisma. When he walked into a room, it stopped. I've only seen that happen with Ronald Reagan.
The high point for me in my career was when Sinatra called me his favourite performer in the Fifties. And I've been sold out ever since.
I went to the premiere of The Detective with Sinatra, and perhaps people jumped to conclusions. He was very protective towards me and never came on to me sexually.
Then I went to radio with Sinatra and I watched that disappear.
Sinatra was pretty astute - he used the best songwriters around, he used all the resources, he covered every song from the era basically.
Sinatra was just one of Mom's friends.
