America’s favorite pop-singer Frank Sinatra helped establish Las Vegas as a major tourist destination and entertainment capital of the world. His legendary voice and hip demeanor attracted people from around the world to gather on the “strip” for his entertaining concerts. Now, for the first time since its original recording, one of Sinatra’s great performances, Sinatra: Vegas Live From Caesar’s Palace, can be seen on NJN. This program invites viewers to experience the Vegas magic that only Sinatra could create – an easy, swinging night filled with sophistication, style and fun. Replete with full song performances, this program captures Sinatra favorites, including “All of Me,” “The Lady is a Tramp,” “Maybe This Time,” “My Kind of Town” and “My Way.”
Sinatra performed more than 500 concerts at Caesars Palace and this particular show stands out as one that truly showcases his legendary voice and charisma. Dressed in a classic tux, Sinatra commands the stage with his relaxed style and cool charm. He delivers the standards with ownership and a distinctive flair, emphasizing certain words in a way that makes audiences feel the emotion behind each song. “Send in the Clowns” and “My Way” are two rousing performances that exceptionally showcase Sinatra’s ability to tell a story each time he sings. As Frank said, “When I sing, I believe. I am honest.” In between songs, in typical rat-pack style, Sinatra takes a swig from his drink and a drag from his cigarette. Moments like these helped define the Vegas image and the Sinatra of Vegas legend.
Sinatra: Vegas Live From Caesar’s Palace is an intimate look at one of the most important singers of the 20th century. In an era where disco ruled, Sinatra’s timeless appeal shined through. The program captures the songs that gave Vegas its own soundtrack and, additionally, showcases the “Chairman of the Board” at his crowd-pleasing best. |
