Repost from @quincydjones using @RepostRegramApp - Frank Sinatra. His name alone still carries more weight than a freight train & I've yet to meet another soul like him. In all the years we worked together, we never once had a contract...just a straight up handshake. And unlike many others during the 50's & 60's, race wasn't a chasm he had to cross...If he asked you to be onstage with him, you were out front with him. He wasn't about trying to put the "colored people" in the back. There was no gray to the man. He was hip, straight up, & straight ahead...& above all, a monster musician. I'll never forget the day in '64 when Francis called me to ask if I'd be willing to arrange & conduct the Basie band for his album. I said "Man...is pig booty pork??!?? Puhhleeeze!" So, he flew me out to Kauai where he was directing "None but the Brave," & he sat me down in his office to explain what we needed to do. In the middle of the convo, he got on the phone & called a military friend at the Pentagon. He said "I'm shooting a picture & it'd be great if you could arrange to have the Pacific fleet ease by here tomorrow so we could film them in the background." The next day, the Pacific fleet eased on by...That's simply the type of guy he was & he had the type of influence that only he could possess. Francis & I had a connection that was out of this world...Literally. Buzz Aldrin played the recording of my arrangement of Frank Sinatra's "Fly Me to the Moon" with the Count Basie Band, in outer space, making it the first song ever to be played on the moon...It's a very special bond. But beyond our musical connection, we were family. Plain & simple. He left me his ring that bears his family crest, & I haven't taken it off since. Francis, I miss U more every day, but I'll never forget the beautiful times we shared...Happy Birthday!! I know you're probably still throwin' cherry bombs in the toilet! ((:0))
