My TouchPad Today: Required (Sinatra) Viewing

Another in a series of posts about using the TouchPad as a TV Wayback Machine...

In 1967 Frank Sinatra and Antonio Carlos Jobim did a television special medley of several songs they had recently recorded for the aptly titled album Francis Albert Sinatra & Antonio Carlos Jobim.

 

The songs:

• Quiet Nights Of Quiet Stars
• Change Partners
• I Concentrate on You
• The Girl from Ipanema

 

I had the Reprise record album and the corresponding cassette version around 1981'ish and played them constantly... particularly on my Sony Walkman when bike riding around Fresh Pond in Cambridge, MA on summer evenings to relax after work.

 

I purchased the CD (still on the Reprise label) in the early 90's and ripped mp3's of it for myself around 2002.

 

Amazon has current mp3's of the album that are available from the Frank Sinatra Enterprises label.

 

 

I remember most of the Sinatra television specials, but, for some reason, I have no recollection of seeing this collaboration at any time until -- using my TouchPad -- I came across it recently on YouTube.

 

A classic album and a classic television performance... perfect for the TouchPad Wayback Machine!
