Frank Sinatra performing live in Vegas with the
Count Basie Orchestra, arranged and conducted by
Quincy Jones who produced all of Michael Jackson's records
. The song "about a pair of dice" is from
Guys and Dolls. In the 1955 film version, Sinatra played Nathan Detroit, a supporting role. He wanted the lead role of Sky Masterson but it went to
Marlon Brando who got to sing
Luck Be A Lady in the movie. In his stage act Frank gets to show how the song should be sung. This is wonderful stuff, even when Sinatra muffs the lyrics.
Frank, The Count and Q! Can't get better than this!!!
