NOTE: Sinatra Scholar Ed O'Brien thinks the songs by Cahn/Styne for "It
Happened in Brooklyn" were the best Sinatra had during the MGM years.
The two listed above are still fresh after all these years.  There would be
three recordings made by Sinatra for both tunes.
He wishes that MGM had employed their gorgeous Technicolor on this
underrated gem.

NOTE:, Ed O''Brien points out that guitarist Tony Mattola had known Sinatra
since the early 1930s. They had worked together at WAAT in Jersey City back
in 1933 when Sinatra was 17 years old.
They both had sustaining 15-minute shows. Tony was on a number of Sinatra's
radio shows after the Dorsey years and was a regular on the Vimms show of
1944.

But his first session with Sinatra was on October 24, 1947. Mattola told
O'Brien that Mitch Miller was behind "My Cousin Louella," and Sinatra was
less than thrilled. One of the few sessions done with just a trio.

Ed O'Brien:
Shortly after the recordings were done, Reprise released
them on a 45 (RPS1342). There was a picture of Frank's granddaughter,
Amanda, on the sleeve. An employee at the record company told me the
suits were none too pleased with the extra expense the very attractive
sleeve cost. Typical record executives. Recordings were a nice tribute.

("Who" appears in the box set Tommy Dorsey Frank Sinatra - The Song Is You)

("Oh! Look at Me Now" appears on the CD "It's All So New")

Ed O'Brien:
The melody for "Oh! Look At Me Now" was written by Joe Bushkin.
He was a ringer in the amateur contest. John DeVries submitted the lyrics
the previous week. The set-up at the time involved a panel of experts who
listened to the entries the previous Saturday(19) and chose the top three
songs. On the 10-24 show, the intro to the winning tune was a brief
orchestral
version of "There I Go."
note: Joe Bushkin was a guest on Frank's CBS-TV show, 12-9-50. Joe
and Frank did a duet of "Oh! Look At Me Now" Before Bushkin started
the piano intro, Frank teased him about the "amateur" songwriter on
the long ago Fame & Fortune broadcast.

Notes: Confirmed aired on WABC, WTOP & KNX among others. Sinatra takes over
the Jerry Lester Show time slot, which aired the week before on WABC 7:00PM

Ed O'Brien:
Stephen Holden, NYT art critic, told me his favorite Sinatra was the
bobbysox singer from 1943-47.
"Lover Come Back To Me," from Frank's first "Songs By Sinatra," in the fall
of 1943, is a perfect
example of what he was so attracted to from those years. Frankie had such a
remarkable voice.
There is an angelic sound to every note and virtuoso singing of a very high
order.

Note:  The full show opens disc 2 of "A Voice on Air".

Television

1975 Highlights Of A Quarter Century Of Bob Hope
Guests: Frank Sinatra

Film

1962, The Manchurian Candidate (US Film Release:  October 24, 1962
Starring:  Frank Sinatra, Laurence Harvey, Janet Leigh, Angela Lansbury,
Henry Silva, and James Gregory
Produced and Directed by John Frankenheimer. The screenplay was written by
George Axelrod, and was based on the 1959 Richard Condon novel The
Manchurian Candidate
Sinatra plays Captain Bennett Marco in this political thriller film about
the Cold War and sleeper agents.
(1st DVD Release date: 1998-03-24 -- Blu Ray Release date: 2011-01-31)

Note: This film is considered by many to be Sinatra's greatest. He was paid
$1,000,000. Laurence Harvey received $200,000
and the additional cost, for everything involved in the making of the film -
$1,000,000 - made a grand total of $2,200,000.
The film was not removed from circulation after the Kennedy assassination.
It would be re-released and also shown on
commercial TV. CBS ran it against Dean Martin's premiere NBC variety show,
with Frank as guest, 9-16-65. The b.o.
take for the initial run was $2,700,000. The re-releases plus numerous TV
showings would bring in millions more
through the years. The film was completed in 39 days. Sinatra's scenes were
shot in 15 days. Frank very much wanted
Lucille Ball for the role of Harvey's mother. After Frankenheimer showed
Frank Lansbury's screen test, Sinatra agreed
she was perfect for the part. Frank did all his own stunts in the film. And
he broke his finger in the karate fight with Henry
Silva. Rotten Tomatoes shows a 96% favorable rating from more than 50
critics and a 90% favorable from the audience..
Frank obtained complete rights to the film in 1972. He allowed a few
showings before the big re-release in 1988.
Suddenly" is a different story. Oswald watched a 16mm print prior to
killing Kennedy. Sinatra asked that all copies be
pulled from circulation. Sinatra gave a fantastic performance in that film.

SONGS BY SINATRA
Reviewed Sunday 7:15 -7:30 p.m.Style - Vocal        Sustaining Over Station
WABC (New York) and CBS
When word gets around that the swoon swami can be heard, unaccompanied by
the squeals
and giggles of his bobby-sock fans, older folks may tune in to this airing
and possibly succumb
to the lure of Sinatra's Iarynx. This 15 -minute spot, replacing the much
more elaborate Band
Wagon, gives Sinatra a chance to peddle his pipes in a relax -and -get
-comfortable atmosphere.
The spot Is enough to let him get in four songs-one new, three oldies-and to
present each with a
build-up which he delivers with easy naturalness. Altho these intros, here
and there, show signs
of a straining to be folksy, Sinatra manages to overcome these hurdles. The
result is easy to take,
If you like Sinatra's slow tempo. Axel Stordahl's ork and the Bobby Tucker
Singers take the musical
background and do a nice job, If other airings maintain the style and pace
of this initial program it
shouldn't be long before a sponsor lays cash on the line, particularly if
this quarter hour garners a
more mature listening audience.
