RONALD REEKER ah this voice !! When « Strangers in the night » was released I wasn’t even born. In France, he was well-known, even famous, but his music wasn’t play very often on radios. My dear and late father made me discover « the Voice », it was magic ! I can listen to him all day long 😍😍😍 What a singer, what an entertainer !
One thing most people don't know is that the drummer for the Basie Band at this time was Sonny Payne. Just listen to the drums here, and everywhere else on this album, then ask yourself if there is any doubt in your mind that Sonny Payne was Sinatra's single favorite drummer, ever?
Sonny is a true legend. But there was often tension between Frank and Sonny. The "in the right tempo" comment he makes is a direct shot at Sonny's sometimes pushing of the song's speeds. Irv Cottler was probably his favorite drummer seeing they worked together for almost 30 years. But oh my this is a fierce and brilliant song from one of the best live performances of any style!
I was fortunate to see Sinatra three times. Lucky too to have the friendship of Matt Monro, 'Britain's Sinatra'. ( Bond movie From Russia with Love soundtrack and lots of gold records). He told me once, "Anyone who does not like Sinatra has got shit in their ears."
I am a lucky lady because I have this original album framed on the wall of my very exclusive" FRANK SINATRA ROOM", needless to say it my especially favorite room of all!!
My favorite Frank Sinatra song ever. !!!!! His voice with that orchestra, the overall beat with the arrangement of the instruments is in the stratosphere,so beautifully out of this world. So awesome, i never get tired listening to this song !!!!
I actually like this version better than the studio version from 1963 ( and I love that one). I like the faster tempo on the live version, and Basie's guys just swing the daylights out of it.
Back in the mid 90s an older gentleman said to me" check out Frank". I then purchases this disk. My life is defined by this recording... before Frank and after Frank.
Very easily earns a place at my playlist of my favourite Frank songs! And with Count Basie's orchestra? This is coming from a 15 year old; this music is the best!
Simply the best singer of popular music ever. No one can even come close with Frank's presentation of a song. I miss him very much. Thanks Frank for the music you left us.
I would love to the opportunity to go to The Sands. After seeing the hotel in the Timeless series makes me want me to go even more. Thanks for the upload, best version of this song I could find!
You know, it's amazing how many songs Sinatra sang that he made his own-"Night and Day", "Luck be a Lady", "Witchcraft" -the list goes on. The greatest male singer ever.
I have this CD, bought my first LP of this in the sixties, I have been told it was recorded over a period of different nights. Has never dated; a magic recording!!!
In Kansas City at the Kuaffman Center for Performing Arts the Jazz Band is going to do the entire album with Ron Gueitierez singing, I have seen the Jazz band, they are fantastic, I have not heard Ron sing in person, (only on you tube) One show only May 14, Can't wait.
Frank Sinatra had a beautiful voice, Count Basie had the musical intelligence and his wonderful orchestra were good at what they did. Together, they made a fabulous sound!
My favorite Frank album. Love all the tunes and the arrangements. Nothing like Basie! Q, well,he kinda stole the arrangements :-) Love all of the talking in between songs Makes you feel like you're really there!!!!!!!
What a fantastic voice and a great man we don't have people like this anymore we have people like the kartrashians all of the greats are gone and no one is left to replace them
SINATRA - Luck Be A Lady “We turn now to the score of a picture I was in once, called Guys and Dolls” says Sinatra, to an audience in Las Vegas circa 1966. “It is a song by Frank Loesser - and a story about one guy and a pair of dice.” There are videos of live performances on early color TV of Sinatra singing the most famous song composed (words & tune) by Frank Loesser. Several such videos at CZcams, with as many as 8 million 'views'. But fans who own his every recorded version (there are several) agree: the “Sinatra at the Sands” album best captures the magic of Frank at his very best: which is to say, in live performance, with the tightest of jazz bands - the Count Basie Orchestra, arranged and conducted by Quincy Jones. Playing right this minute on Siriusly Sinatra satellite radio. This version: Thanks, Fragmaster3000 for sharing. Celebrated this day elsewhere [search] " Great Melody, Great Lyric, Great Rendition, Songwriting Workshop, Harmony Central " czcams.com/video/RTrI74EH7X0/video.html
Don't buy "Sinatra at the Sands" to get this performance. It's not there. This performance was from the Jan 28, 1966 show. The show was officially/finally released in 2018 on the 3-CD collection "Frank Sinatra: Standing Room Only."
Absolutely Awesome Arranging" Here's an interesting piece of Jazz music history for Sinatra's famous performance of "Luck be a Lady" Written by Frank Loesser in 1959 for the film Guys & Dolls. Along with this is an interesting bit of song composing history, then arranged By Bill May in 1963 & road show arrangement adapted by Quincy Jones for Frank Sinatra & Count Basie's Live tour and famous Live Show at the Las Vegas Sands. Sinatra kept this arrangement in his band book and then the final studio recording on his label (the Reprise label) of the original 1963 arrangement version on the Sinatra 65 album.
this was a song he hummed when he played the vegas tables. it didn't help him but it sure sounded nice. he was a nice guy, always stopped to say hello and helped a lot of people.
Nassau Coliseum- Nov, 15 1991, Section 119 Row G Seat 1 - his Diamond Jubilee World Tour with Steve Lawrence and Eydie Gorme. I was 25 years old. I still have the ticket stub. And you're correct.
I feel like dancing all around the room right now!! Sinatra, they broke the mold when he came along. Can someone tell me why he says “eleven” at the end...is that a lucky number or something?
The Count employed all the hi C trumpets. He turned them loose and Sinatra built on it. then there Q who Sinatra found and got in 1964 who turned his career around with this kind of arranging. Q did it gain with Thriller. Sinatra left Q his gold pinky ring and it still see the light of day.
why can't this be done again ? no music in front of these players right down to sinatra. self taught, coming up the hard way. they played among all greats and had to fit in by being likewise. no juliard here. that's why you don't get this meeting of musicians together nowhere. listen to high c's being blown and gravel voiced frank. no song ever done the same way twice and that's why. won't happen again anytime soon.
@@TheStockwell Actually, this was from the first show. However, it was never released on the original or current versions. It's only available on the Remastered 1998 Re-release. The one from Standing Room Only is the Show 2 version, and there's also the Show 3 version as well on the other album, Vegas. But this one is the rare Show 1 version.
Yeah this is the ultimate Sinatra album live or otherwise. Period.
DAMN! BASIE AND HIS GUYS SWING THE HELL OUT THIS SONG. BEST VERSION THAT I HAVE HEARD.
loveyouall66 I think Basie swings the hell out of these songs too. I was listening to Fly Me To The Moon and Count Basie slew it.
Every version was the best pal Every version
THE BEST ALBUM SINATRA EVER RECORDED. his legacy will life on forever.
he was a CLASSIC that never can be duplicated.

Sinatra's voice was showing its age, though he was still a vocal master of swing.
That along with Judy at Carnegie Hall. These are pretty stellar
One of the Chairman's signature songs, with backing by one of the tightest bands in history
One of the greatest live recording ever.
YES!
The quality of this recording is outstanding.
Frank is a natural
Spot-on , this album,, is the " bollox ,from UK, I'm a lady's but, I swear , ,
One thing most people don't know is that the drummer for the Basie Band at this time was Sonny Payne. Just listen to the drums here, and everywhere else on this album, then ask yourself if there is any doubt in your mind that Sonny Payne was Sinatra's single favorite drummer, ever?
I adore this album

Buddy who?
Sonny was stigmatized because of the stick twirling
But he could swing
Mel Lewis was critical of Sonny not sitting more in the pocket
This has to be one of the greatest live recordings
I am a lucky lady because I have this original album framed on the wall of my very exclusive" FRANK SINATRA ROOM", needless to say it my especially favorite room of all!!
I'm jealous
Hi Joe, I just read you're reply ,its good to know there are still some Frank Sinatra fans out there.Glad you are jealous, all is not lost! Ha!
Best version of this song!
Here you have frank at his best with the count and his men behind him. doesn't get better.
Can you imagine what it took to keep these guys on stage through something like this ?
those horns floating around that hi-c level.
My favorite Frank Sinatra song ever. !!!!! His voice with that orchestra, the overall beat with the arrangement of the instruments is in the stratosphere,so beautifully out of this world. So awesome, i never get tired listening to this song !!!!
Count Bassey's orchestra rocks out . . . and what a fabulous arrangement by Quincy Jones.
Let me say that Frank Sinatra with Count Basie Orquestra and Quincy is the best music you will ever hear in your life period.
I actually like this version better than the studio version from 1963 ( and I love that one). I like the faster tempo on the live version, and Basie's guys just swing the daylights out of it.

Very easily earns a place at my playlist of my favourite Frank songs! And with Count Basie's orchestra? This is coming from a 15 year old; this music is the best!
Amazing
The absolute best recordings ever by frank and the count!!!!!
I love this song one of my favorites God Bless America
You can tell they're having fun with this one. So great :)
I get so fired up hearing this track.
This record makes me want to go buy a analog record player and the album right now
Simply the best singer of popular music ever. No one can even come close with Frank's presentation of a song. I miss him very much. Thanks Frank for the music you left us.
When I saw Mrs doubtfire in theaters at 11 and it introduced me to this
Frank Sinatra, Count Basie, Quincy Jones... GIANTS!
I would love to the opportunity to go to The Sands. After seeing the hotel in the Timeless series makes me want me to go even more. Thanks for the upload, best version of this song I could find!
Never Will Happen Though.
You know, it's amazing how many songs Sinatra sang that he made his own-"Night and Day", "Luck be a Lady", "Witchcraft" -the list goes on. The greatest male singer ever.
No one can sing this song like Sinatra !,! 💕 Love the Band they are swinging , all pros 💕
I have this CD, bought my first LP of this in the sixties, I have been told it was recorded over a period of different nights.
Has never dated; a magic recording!!!
In Kansas City at the Kuaffman Center for Performing Arts the Jazz Band is going to do the entire album with Ron Gueitierez singing, I have seen the Jazz band, they are fantastic, I have not heard Ron sing in person, (only on you tube) One show only May 14, Can't wait.
Henry & Karen Hill there at that little table right below the microphone.
Frank Sinatra had a beautiful voice, Count Basie had the musical intelligence and his wonderful orchestra were good at what they did. Together, they made a fabulous sound!
This song is Awesome!
Thank for posting, a bonus track.
I love this album
First time hearing this...HOT DAMN!!
It would've been nice if this actual recording was on video. Quincy Jones did a bad ass arrangement here.
Luke be a jedi tonight!
LOL!!! Chris Brennen
This Album is one of his best, and I heard a lot
Truly one of the greatest albums of any sort ever made. Basie and the band swing so hard and Frank could phrase a song better than nearly anyone.
Great performance.
I have the whole album. All fabulous. Da Count, Frankie Baby, and Q. How sweet it is :-)
My favorite Frank album. Love all the tunes and the arrangements. Nothing like Basie! Q, well,he kinda stole the arrangements :-) Love all of the talking in between songs Makes you feel like you're really there!!!!!!!
Wow! Need to buy the album 😊
NEW JERSEY! These two men are the only reason why I'm proud to call myself a New Jerseyan!
Sinatra & Basie--nuff said!!!!!!!
Quincy Jones, too!
Genius
What a fantastic voice and a great man we don't have people like this anymore we have people like the kartrashians all of the greats are gone and no one is left to replace them
Yes, he's FrancisAlbertSinatra, the Singer ,the Crooner, theVOICE, he's the Only One ,nobody like Sinatra

REAL ARTIST.. REAL MUSIC 🌍❤️✨🎶🎶
The king of swing! Period.

So the one thing he had in life was luck. The luck to be born Frank Albert Sinatra.
Fame and fortune and talent ____ all the above _______ BUT a very troubled man__ a difficult man
One of his best though especially with the bellagio fountain
COUNT BASIE!!!!
¡¡¡ CHILE ¡¡¡ FRANK SINATRA - COUNT BASIE .....WERE.BRILLANT
Nach wie vor, schön...

I bought the CD. The recording is good but Luck be a Lady is not on it, correct!
@Michael Brent Yeah, exactly. My Grandpa has the '98 CD.
I have heard that the great music one used to hear in Vegas began to disappear when the mafia was gradually driven out!
Just try to imagine being Ole Blue Eyes in Las Vegas in the 60s
Luck be a ladyyyyyyyy....... TONIGHT! He always finishes strong.

Damas y Caballeros el ùnico, el incomparable, La VOZ , Francis Albert Sinatra , nadie como
él!!!
Frank and his boys doing their things swinging out.!!!!!!
There was Judy At Carnegie Hall, Aretha Amazing Grace and THIS
now think of this, Qunicy Jones did this album and Michael Jackson's Thriller - that's talent
SHOWS US JUST HOW TALENTED THE MAN IS. READ IS AUTO-BIOGRAPHY. QUINCY STATED THAT MUSIC SAVED HIS LIFE.
man this is hot
🥂💐🌹❤️👏☀️
🌍❤🎶🎶
Sheeeeeeeit
Guys and Dolls THAT sound about right.
I feel like dancing all around the room right now!! Sinatra, they broke the mold when he came along. Can someone tell me why he says “eleven” at the end...is that a lucky number or something?
He's at the dice table in this song and rolls the dice ____ thus ___ 11
I think in Craps you can make a high stakes bet on rolling an 11 in one shot. If you can do it, it pays 17 to 1!
The Count employed all the hi C trumpets. He turned them loose and Sinatra built on it. then there Q who Sinatra found and got in 1964 who turned his career around with this kind of arranging. Q did it gain with Thriller. Sinatra left Q his gold pinky ring and it still see the light of day.
The band leader lived in Queens the singer in Hoboken.
FRANK IS THE BEST CIAO DA FRED RIGHETTI MILANO JAZZ, BYE, ITALY
Just watching 'the getaway' with mc queen and who wrote the music---Quincy jones. Get you some of that.
Does Sinatra shout “11” at the end of the song?
AngelNoriega1 I think so 🌬🌬🌬
Yes he does shout "11!" like he was shooting craps.
I always assumed it meant he rolled an 11 with the dice..and if you remember the film Ocean's 11 from 1960.
Eleven!
Crazy that someone gave this a thumbs down, what a waste of time and energy.
Basics horns were one. Super tight
why can't this be done again ? no music in front of these players right down to sinatra. self taught, coming up the hard way. they played among all greats and had to fit in by being likewise. no juliard here. that's why you don't get this meeting of musicians together nowhere. listen to high c's being blown and gravel voiced frank. no song ever done the same way twice and that's why. won't happen again anytime soon.
SWING IT, JACK!!!
Help me out guys! What Frank said at the beginnig of this song? Can anybody spell it word for word??
My daughter recorded me singing that song while a was asleep she said my voice was terrible. Lol.
I'm confused. I don't see this track listed on any version of this record.
It was from the Jan 28, 1966 show. The show was officially/finally released in 2018 on the 3-CD collection "Frank Sinatra: Standing Room Only."

Are you KIDDING???!!

Sonny was one of the best
A Lady doesn't leave her escort...
Before Micheal it was Frank and Count Basie..
Added track not on original release
this is not a song from "live at the sands"

no comparto el que no se vea actuando a sinatra si es por sonido lo escucho en disco las regalias supongo que ya estan PAGADAS
