Nancy (With a Laughing Face) - Frank Sinatra
Man oh man do I love Frank Sinatra! This is actually one of my favorite singers of all time and every single one of his songs are truly fantastic. With this song “Nancy (With a Laughing Face)” this is a very calm jazzy love song for this gal that Frank seems to be crazy about. He always has the smoothest vocals and the soft jazz playing in the background. Specifically in this song he is bragging about how awesome Nancy is and how nobody else in the whole world could ever possibly compare to her; and I quote “even if she had a sister” haha. The best part for me about his music is the pure confidence that Frank sings with, almost every word and beat if the music just makes you feel as if this story was happening to you and its so easy to believe every word he sings. By far he is one of my favorite artists to have ever written, preformed, or sing.
I really liked your interpretation of Frank Sinatra's singing and style in this song. In class Professor Bradshaw said that this song was written for Sinatra's daughter to sing at her birthday party. I'm not trying to tell you you're wrong or anything. I agree with you, this song has the sound of a very sweet love song that could be about a woman he is in love with. I think this song is amazing because it is a song that can apply to different people in different circumstances.
