i’ve got ol’ blue eyes to keep me warm

December 23rd, 2007 | Category: sinatra, standards

i’m usually not one for christmas music (although i have to admit that when sung by the greats it can be quite enjoyable). nevertheless, this is absolutley brilliant (and i guess it’s not really a christmas song anyway). everything about this clip is great - the set, the voice, the phrasing. i even like that he’s wearing his suit jacket the traditional way for cold weather. the reason mens suit jackets have that button hole on the lapel is so you can close it in cold weather. it’s just there for show nowadays.

take it frankie

and thanks to DJ MANE ONE for finding this clip.
