4.0 out of 5 stars Not the best of the Reprise Series...but damn fun~, December 5, 1999

This review is from: Frank Sinatra - Francis Albert Sinatra Does His Thing (DVD)

ALthough there are better Sinatra TV specials from the 60's, this entry featuring Diahann Carroll and The Fifth Dimension is rather fun and entertaining. Sinatra joins the Fifth on one of their numbers and while it wouldn't be considered high musical art, it is entertaining. Don't start your collection with this one, but don't leave it out; it's worthwhile.

4.0 out of 5 stars A bit forced but great at times, January 13, 2003

This review is from: Frank Sinatra - Francis Albert Sinatra Does His Thing (DVD)

This special remains one of Sinatra's weaker ones only because he gets too silly at times trying to be contemporary (e.g. wearing love beads). However, it is a fun show and in some way reflects the uproar and uncertainty of 1968.....

Sinatra also includes classics from the past - the NICE'N EASY & HOW LITTLE WE KNOW medley is great and uses the original Riddle charts. You can see Frank being backed up by about 40 musicians - a lot of fun.

But the highlight has to be the saloon song medley especially HERE'S THAT RAINY DAY with a DON COSTA chart which is much more modern than the one by Gordon Jenkins but equally as moving and a bit more reflective perhaps. I remember watching this saloon medley about 2 days after Frank had died......it was touching.

So to me the classic tunes mentioned are worth the whole special!

I brought this mainly to hear Diahann Carroll sing the Barbra Streisand standard "The Music That Makes Me Dance." It's a great reindition that stands up to the original perfectly.
