Frank Sinatra - L.A. Is My Lady (2024 Mix) ft. Quincy Jone

Sinatra singing about Los Angeles is hard to take. Of course, he sings New York, New York, and he wasn't from New York. He was born in New Jersey, which most Manhattanites think is the nadir of civilization.

That L. A. no longer exists.

NYC, Chicago and San Francisco inspire great songs. LA, never.

[Dr. Franklin]

Sinatra singing about Los Angeles is hard to take.

Sinatra singing about most topics is hard to tolerate. For many, hearing his recordings is pure torture. He was extremely overrated. Without his mob connections, he would have gone no where.

There aren't a lot of songs about LA as a whole, but there are plenty of tunes about its neighborhoods and streets. Here are a few:

• Hooray for Hollywood--The Warner/Vitaphone Orchestra (1937)

• Sepulveda--The King's Jesters (1946)

• San Fernando Valley--Bing Crosby (1943)

• Watts--The Chanters (1955)

• Pico & Sepulveda--Felix Figueroa & His Orchestra (1947)

• Route 88--The King Cole Trio (1946)

• Central Avenue Blues--Pee Wee Crayton (1949)

• MacArthur Park--Richard Harris (1968)

I have that Sinatra: Portrait of an Album dvd (an old fashioned Sinatra fan’s old fashioned format for an old fashioned singer).

Now that I’m 79 I see that “he was age 69” and think that’s young and just fine for a recording artist.

Sinatra was irreplaceable.

Frank Sinatra’s “New York, New York” is a cover version. Liza did it first. She also did it better.

“Theme from New York, New York”, often abbreviated to just “New York, New York”, is the theme song from the Martin Scorsese musical film New York, New York (1977), composed by John Kander, with lyrics by Fred Ebb. Liza Minnelli performs the song during the finale of the film. It was nominated for the Golden Globe Award for Best Original Song.

[Huskrrrr]

Today’s LA is a Skank.

[Bullish]

David Lee Roth, what a dickhead. Lol

Everyone wants a signature song for their city which is why we have so many songs named after cities.

This one is a flop and forgettable.
