Hear that last multi-step jump? Right at "and lovvvvvvvvvvvvvveee is the Tender Trap"? The story is that when they were recording it, Frank got to that part and blew the note. Shoved the door of the recording booth open. Snarled at his pianist Bill Miller...
FS: That shift is impossible! Nobody can sing that!
BM: I'm sorry. I thought you were Frank Sinatra.
Whereupon Frank stomped back into the booth, nailed the retake, and stomped out of the studio. Passion for what you do. No matter what it is. Being big enough to take criticism and rise to the occasion. Foundational elements supporting this photo's inclusion in the Epic scrapbook...

Passion for what you do... I love it- so inspiring!
Love those Cinemascope Eastman Color films.
Lots of stomping. Gives credibility to the theory that Frank's talent was borne of hostility.
You should create a new label for subjects such as this. How about just "Frank"?
This made me very happy. He makes it look so easy! Nice and Easy --

DC, its what I like most about FS [other than the music], it saved his career when he was VERY down and out...
Ben, I guess the motivation isn't as important as the quality of what comes of it. Say, I was hoping for another one of your CLASSIC Frank/Dean/Sam interplay comments!
LT, good idea. I probably didn't think of it because it makes too much sense.
EQV, I agree! Every time I see this title sequence it chuffs me up. And the movie is fabulous also.
