Sinatra’s colorful, often abrasive personality and the constant tabloid attention he attracted often obscured his seriousness as a musical artist. From the beginning he was intent on creating a new sound-adult, sensual, exhilarating, authentic, always himself.
Despite recording thousands of different songs, Sinatra’s recordings rarely achieved “hit” status. Time has shown he was in the more serious, long-range business of producing classics, recorded renditions of songs that indelibly bear his stamp: : “I Fall in Love Too Easily,” “Time After Time,” “Saturday Night,” “Nice ´N Easy,” “In the Wee Small Hours,” “Come Fly With Me,” “All My Tomorrows,” “All the Way,” “It Was a Very Good Year,” “Strangers in the Night.”
Fred Miller’s Lecture-in-Song on Frank Sinatra is a musical tribute to a unique American entertainer, punctuated by anecdotes and biographical details drawn from an eventful, legendary life.
Program will take place in Meeting Room 1
