Sinatra was great in his younger days but I found him hard to listen to
after he got past 70. I wish we had the chance to see how John's would
have sounded past 70. (He would have been 60 this year.) John and Frank
had some musical history together on tv. A classic tv moment was the
lengthy duet between John and Frank....singing Frank's hits. And then
there is the story of how Frank was the reason that John wrote his first
original Christmas song..."A Baby Just Like You". John said that Frank
called him just after Nancy had her first child (Frank's first
grandchild). Frank wanted John to write him a Christmas song in honor
of the child. John and his friend Joe Henry colaborated and produced
this beautiful song.
