Frank Sinatra
“I wish Frank Sinatra would just shut up and sing.”
Lauren Bacall
“If the Soviet Union can give up the Brezhnev Doctrine for the Sinatra Doctrine, the United States can give up the James Monroe Doctrine for the Marilyn Monroe Doctrine: Let's all go to bed wearing the perfume we like best.”
Carlos Fuentes
“We were working... with Frank Sinatra. He was in the main room, and we were in the lounge. It was a real thrill to meet and actually become friends with people like Frank Sinatra, Sammy Davis Jr., and Dean Martin. They were all working the Sands at that time... and Bill and I became... well, not close friends, but at least acquaintances where they knew us by name, and most of them just called us the righteous boys.”
Bobby Hatfield
“I saw Sinatra and the Pope on TV when I was two and said 'Who's that guy with Frank Sinatra?'”
Roseanne
“Sinatra is kind of an enigma. If he's your friend, he's your friend.”
Clint Walker
“My father and Frank Sinatra respected each other's abilities enormously. My father always said Frank brought out the best in him. And his arrangements gave Frank a new musical playground to wander in. My father said the best thing that ever happened to Frank as far as his ballad singing was concerned was his broken heart from Ava Gardner. Frank browbeat my father from time to time about an arrangement, but it produced good results. Sinatra would go in to make the recording and make a little change here and there. He'd say, 'Do a little Puccini thing there.' Or a little Gershwin or Ellington or whatever. My father would make a cryptic note. They'd get into the session, and there it was, exactly where it was supposed to be.”
Christopher Riddle
“One thing I don't do is, I don't listen to Sinatra before I record or before I go out live. Because if I did, I'd have to say, "What am I doing?" I couldn't listen to the greatest singer in the world and try to go out there and sing. I'd be too depressed.”
James Darren
“He puts on an unbelievable show because he is so charismatic, and he really does look like Frank (Sinatra). He's a really good impersonator ---- he looks like him, he acts like him, he's even got the blue eyes.”
Cathy Cronin
“The fact is that Frank Sinatra also turned 60 once.”
