This show took place in Paris on October 28, 1960. Less than a year earlier, Judy had come very close to death and was told she could never work again. Free for the first time in her life from the constant pressures of the industry, Judy’s health and spirit absolutely thrived, setting the stage for her great musical triumphs of the early 1960s. Judy returned to work because she wanted to, and that made a world of difference.Thus, in some ways, this concert can be viewed as a warm-up for the Carnegie Hall concert of the following year.
All of Judy’s famous songs are performed in this Paris show: I Can’t Give You Anything But Love, The Man That Got Away, Rock-A-Bye Your Baby With a Dixie Melody, After You’ve Gone, the stirring That’s Entertainment!, Come Rain or Come Shine, You Go To My Head, Stormy Weather, the famous medley of You Made Me Love You, For Me and My Gal, and The Trolley Song, and – of course – Swanee. Judy also delivered here an emotionally powerful performance of Over the Rainbow, and the passion she pumped into this classic song more than made up for the fact that her voice was starting to tire in the late stages of the concert. There is also one track unique to this concert recording , appropriately enough, Judy’s medley of I Love Paris and April in Paris.
“Frank Sinatra Live in Paris” is a live concert previously unreleased that the singer gave on June 6. 1962 at the Lido Club on the Champs Elysées in the French capital . There also exists a recording of the June 7 show, with a slightly different track listing. In the spring of 1962, Sinatra was on a World Tour For Children, a series of benefits concerts for handicapped children in Europe. Sinatra performed with the Bill Miller Sextet in Japan, Hong Kong, Greece, Israel, Italy, France, and England, absorbing the entire cost of the tour himself. By the time he returned home in late June, ticket sales to Sinatra’s World Tour concerts had raised more than one million dollars, all of which benefited children’s charities worldwide.
