The Coffee Song

The Coffee Song:



a 1946 song sung by Frank Sinatra, who died on May 14 in 1998 at age 82 of a heart attack after suffering several years of declining health. He lived a long and full life, receiving many awards, is one of the best-selling musical artists of all time, and was successful both in his music and film careers. He was married 4 times, had 3 children, and died a practicing Catholic.

He is reported to have said, "I would like to be remembered as a man who had a wonderful time living his life, and who had good friends, a fine family. I don't think I could ask for anything more than that, actually." I can't think of a better way to be remembered.

  2. My daughter had a boy in her kindergarten class named Frank Sinatra. When she came home and told me about Frank, I had a hard time believing that she was correct about his name. Although I went to HS with a Holly Wood. :)
    Happy T day!

    1. Yes, that voice! Commitment issues, maybe. He did wander.

  5. What a fun song and Frank's quote is just perfect too making me think of my sweet friend Lennie.
    I can hear her saying the same.
    Thank you for your nice comment today.
    Happy T Day

    1. It's hard to lose someone. I thought the Sinatra quote showed a good spirit, and I can see how his family would've been comforted by it afterwards.

  6. What a great song. He was a real crooner, wasn't he? Although I never cared for that type of music in my early years, I am far more tolerant now, as diversity is the key. and of course, I love how you find such wonderful and diverse things to share with us for T each week.

    Thanks for joining us and sharing Frank's great quote with us for T this Tuesday.

  8. Thanks for the toe tapping music. I didn't recognize the title but once the music started it was familiar. Since I like my coffee so much maybe I should move, LOL!

  10. Oh what a skilful post, great way to link with Elizabeth. A lovely clip too...I think Mr Sinatra's Sentiment about his life and accomplishments rings very true for lots of us.
