Both Sinatra and Elvis do my favorite versions of 'My Way'--although ol' Blue Eyes pretty much owns the tune. Very cool to see them together.
Hey Rev. I do love both versions of that song. Yeah, Sinatra does own it though. Nobody does it quite like Frank.
Thanks. I'll check it out.
Nancy and Elvis were great friends...and she has always been extremely kind and respectful towards his memory. She's a classy and terrific lady.
Thanks Jeremy. It was great hearing from you. Whenever I've have heard Nancy mention Elvis, she is very warm and positive about him.
Just love Nancy Sinatra! She actually is talented and not just riding the coat tails of her dad...great photos!
Love that pic. How does Elvis always look taller than everyone else in a picture with him. The 68-71 era is probably my fave Elvis period
Have you checked the duet of Frank and Elvis doing Love Me Tender/Witchcraft - I'm sure it'll be on youtube..
Very cool candid photos of these celebs. Unbelievable, almost 40 years ago!
My wife would kill to have me look like Elvis, (without the burns). did you ever see the clip from when Elvis got out of the Army and was on Sinatra's show. It was very awkward for both of them, but it looks like they warmed to each other by this time.

Hey pallie Keith, this post gives me a real Dinourge to see if I can find some Dinopixs of our Dino and the Elvis...only one I know of this the birthday cake scene...
Hey Veronica. I agree. I like Nancy. She's talented. She didn't make it just because of who her dad is.
Hey Dave. Thanks for the comments. Elvis is the King after all. I love those pics. I like that era in the career of Elvis. I'll have to check out that tune.
Thanks Jim. Glad you liked them. These entertainers are still cool 40 years later.
Hey Robert. Thanks for the comments. I think a lot of women would kill for their men to look like the King. I did see clips from that show. I agree with you on that.
Hey pallie DMP. Thanks for the comments. I know what you mean. I think that's the only one I've ever seen. Hopefully there are more out there.
love the rings elvis has on in d last foto :o]
You know I'm going to love these pictures. These are great. I adore Nancy. I did enjoy seeing her and Elvis together in Speedway. They were good friends.
Hey Terence. Me too. Elvis did have some cool style.
Thanks Phoebe. I knew you would since you're such a big fan of Nancy. I thought these pics were really cool. It's awesome to see them all together.
These photos are amazing! Elvis looks incredible!

Thanks Carrie. Glad you liked them. Elvis does look really cool here.
elvis and frank 2 real kings!! I think that modern celebs will never achive that kind of coolness, no more elvis or frank or marylin..and maybe it's better!
All of these retro, vintage pics you post? J'adore!
thanks for the comment, dear!
ahh. frank sinatra AND elvis?! now, that's a match made in heaven, no?
xx!
Those are great pictures Keith! The King and Ol' Blue Eyes sure did have a mutual respect for each other
Very cool photos. Reminds me of that old Marvel comic Team-Up, with the wild assortment of disparate celebrities getting together. Perhaps there were some tasty cocktails for everyone.
You always have the greatest pictures! =]
Bisous,
La C.
Incredible photos, Elvis was so gorgeous and Frank so very handsome. It's so sweet to see Fred Astaire there too. Such iconic figures.
Thanks Carlotta. I appreciate the comments. We just don't have celebs like this anymore. This was a time when stars were really stars.
Thanks Erika. I'm so glad you liked them.
Thanks Gabrielle. It's great to see the King of Rock 'n' Roll and the Chairman of the Board together. Cheers!
Hey JB. Glad you liked these. Both of these men are amazing.
Hey Scott. Thanks for the comments. I love that. Yeah, that's what it reminds me of too. I'm sure there were some tasty cocktails around there somewhere. Cheers!
Thanks La C. I appreciate that. I am to please.
Thanks Gabbi. I really liked seeing all these greats together. They sure don't make them like that anymore.
I attended the party as the Las Vegas correspondent for Associated Press at the time. My date, who had just arrived in Las Vegas, was blown away. There were so many celebrities I remember Sergio Mendez of Brazil 66 having to sit on the floor!
Hey Michael. Thanks for stopping by and commenting. That's awesome to hear. Wow. I bet it was such a cool time. Have a great weekend. Cheers!
