Something Performed By Frank Sinatra & The Beatles

I'm posting here Frank's cover of the Beatles classic tune Something. Frank definitely makes the song his own. I really enjoy his take on this song. Something was actually one of Sinatra's favorite songs to perform in concert. I'm also posting the promo video that the Beatles did for this #1 hit of theirs, which was written and sung by my favorite Beatle George Harrison on their 1969 classic album Abbey Road. This is actually one of my favorite songs by the Beatles. I do wish George had been given more of an opportunity to write and sing songs for the Beatles during their time together. I hope you enjoy these two clips.

    I can never get enough of good ole Frank but I think George Harrison does a better rendition of this song :-)

    Frank would make anything his own I think, great clips.

    Yeah it is a shame about George.

    Ah! I was going to feature that exact song by Beatles for my Flashback Friday.;) Sinatra is actually quiet good performing the cover, but no one does it as well as George.;))
    By the way, did you know that the cool blond at the start of the Beatles video is Patsy, the inspiration for Clapton's Layla?;)
    Have a great day.;)

    I love this, Keith, thank you very much for posting it. I'd never seen this pairing (Frank covering the Beatles) before and loved kicking off my morning with it.

    Have a stellar day, my friend!

    I love this song myself. Sinatra does do a good job with his version of the song. That would be cool to know that Sinatra covered one of your songs.

    This couldn't be more up my street Keith.. Yes I'm sure I've heard Sinatra say what a great love song Something is.

  21. Marcos CallauDecember 2, 2009 at 11:37 AM

    Sinatra said that "Something" was one of the best love song ever recorded and "it never says I love you"... Frank sings that with so much feeling.

    Don't even get me started on The Beatles, Keith - I love them so much! J'adore both video clips, but I still have to go with The Beatles - they're too amazing! :)

    Totally agree with you. George always deserved more than his 2-song-an-album limit that he was held to. Something might have been his best...I like the Sinatra version too.

    I heard that he always called this his favorite Lennon/McCartney song, which is funny since it's so very George.

    That was excellent !... I love Sinatra's spin on that song.
    But I do have to agree with Amy, George Harrisons version is it .

    "Stick around Jack" I love that Sinatra added Jack.
