"BODY AND SOUL"

I, too, was moved to tears watching this wonderful video. It's hard to imagine that Mr. S waited almost 37 years to come back to this beautiful song. His first recordings of "Body and Soul" were done back in late 1947 with arrangements by the great Axel Stordahl. I often think of all the beautiful songs that Frank never recorded--of course, too numerous to mention here. This, though, is just marvelous footage of The Master at work. At 68 years young, Frank STILL had that look of a true professional, perfecting his craft. God, how I miss him. ".....when Sinatra paints a portrait, the tones and colors are his alone." ~Sid Mark~
