The Man Who Never Heard of Frank Sinatra
The man who had never heard of Frank Sinatra: he lived
A perfectly ordinary life in America. Born in 1915,
He followed all the fads, read the newspapers, listened
To Television, knew who Dean Martin and Sammy whathisname
Were (Sinatra's friends), but somehow, by a one in a
Zillion fluke, whenever Sinatra came up, he was out of the room.
Or his attention was diverted by something else, and
(You will say this is impossible, that it cannot be), never
Heard him sing, like a man in my generation who somehow
Missed the Beatles though he had heard everything else.
Once, just as he was about to hear the name Frank Sinatra
A plane flew overhead--he was fifty-five years old--his hearing
A little more impaired. He had heard of Humphrey Bogart,
Of Elizabeth Taylor, of Walter Cronkite, and of perhaps a hundred
Forty thousand other celebrities names by the time he died,
And yet he had never heard of Frank Sinatra. The Greeks had
That famous saying, "The luckiest man is he who was never born."
Which is kind of gloomy, but I think they were wrong.
The luckiest man is he who never heard of Frank Sinatra.

Whatever else has been said about me personally is unimportant. When I sing, I believe. I'm honest.

Throughout my career, if I have done anything, I have paid attention to every note and every word I sing - if I respect the song. If I cannot project this to a listener, I fail.

Biography of a Poet Click here to listen to Biography of a Poet
Vince was twice my age
And Frank Sinatra was his rage
Sometimes the stars came there to sing
Marciano liked this town from the boxing ring
Della Reese he played for you
Dinah Washington sang the blues
Connie Francis and almost Darin
Frank Fontaine and Cavalaro
Mom said, "Margie, do you always have to be hanging around
the Italian guys?"
Grandma Mowery thought George was nice
But Mom, "It's no beer joint I did protest,
The stars go there, Mom, that means it's the best."

Baby Blues
(bth australian version)
I wonder whats happening to me
Things are changing so dramatically
Ill search for you, youre not really there
Still I wonder knowing that you do care
I shut up, I shut up, I shut up, I shut up
I shut up, I shut up, I shut up now
I shut up, I shut up, I shut up, I shut up
I shut up, I shut up, I shut up now
I shut up now, I shut up now
I shut up now, I shut up now
He is the best thing to come my way
Perfect picture baby blues in my day
He is the best thing to come around
Sleeping in his cradle safe and sound
I shut up, I shut up, I shut up, I shut up
I shut up, I shut up, I shut up now
I shut up, I shut up, I shut up, I shut up
I shut up, I shut up, I shut up now
I shut up now, I shut up now
I shut up now, I shut up now

A Hidden Girl
Afraid of seeing herself,
She hides from the sunlight,
Avoids mirrors, lingers in shadows,
And only walks the streets after midnight.
She has a pretty face,
Any young man would like to kiss her,
Sing to her from the heart
Frank Sinatra-like.
She has a melancholy disposition,
And lives in a secret world of fear.
Youth vanishes in the blink of an eye
And hers’ may disappear
Before anyone ever knows
She was ever here.

I Say It Again
In Memory of Frank Sinatra:
F From early life he was a Star
R Records sold in countries far
A Autumn in New York explains it
N Nice guys of the world reveal it
K King of crooners ~ movie star!
S Sinatra fans all gathered there
I In the Main Event, Madison Square
N Never-dying evergreens
A Audiences loved the TV screens
T The Great among the greats was he
R Romantic 'blue eyes' calm and free
A American idol who did it with ease
..........He did it his way...........
