# Life's a wonderful thing | 0:00:44 | 0:00:47 | |

SONG: "Fly Me To The Moon" | 0:01:59 | 0:02:03 | |
I loved watching my dad perform. | 0:02:13 | 0:02:15 | |
He had such confidence and presence. | 0:02:15 | 0:02:18 | |
He was a man who led with his heart, | 0:02:18 | 0:02:20 | |
which is why I think he touched so many people. | 0:02:20 | 0:02:24 | |
Not long after we lost him, I compared him to a Redwood. | 0:02:24 | 0:02:27 | |
He had a place on this planet - | 0:02:27 | 0:02:30 | |
to be, to stand tall and to sing. | 0:02:30 | 0:02:33 | |
SONG: "That's Life" | 0:02:35 | 0:02:37 | |
# Did you hear about it? That's life | 0:02:39 | 0:02:41 | |
# That's what all the people say | 0:02:44 | 0:02:46 | |
# You're riding high in April | 0:02:48 | 0:02:51 | |
# Shot down in May | 0:02:51 | 0:02:54 | |
# But I know I'm gonna Change that tune | 0:02:54 | 0:02:58 | |
# When I'm back on top | 0:03:02 | 0:03:04 | |
# On top in June | 0:03:04 | 0:03:07 | |
# I said, that's life | 0:03:08 | 0:03:10 | |
# Funny as it may seem | 0:03:13 | 0:03:16 | |
# Some people get their kicks | 0:03:17 | 0:03:21 | |
# From stepping on dreams | 0:03:21 | 0:03:24 | |
# But I don't let it, let it get me down | 0:03:24 | 0:03:27 | |
# Cos this old world, It keeps going around | 0:03:30 | 0:03:35 | |
# I've been a puppet, a pauper, A pirate, a poet | 0:03:37 | 0:03:42 | |
# A pawn and a king | 0:03:42 | 0:03:45 | |
# I've been up and down and over and out | 0:03:45 | 0:03:49 | |
# And I know one thing | 0:03:49 | 0:03:51 | |
# Each time I find myself | 0:03:51 | 0:03:56 | |
# Flat on my face | 0:03:56 | 0:03:59 | |
# I pick myself up and get back in the race | 0:03:59 | 0:04:05 | |
# That's life | 0:04:05 | 0:04:08 | |
# I tell you, I can't deny it | 0:04:10 | 0:04:12 | |
# I thought of quitting, baby | 0:04:15 | 0:04:18 | |
# But my heart just won't buy it | 0:04:18 | 0:04:20 | |
# And if I didn't think it was worth a single try | 0:04:20 | 0:04:25 | |
# Why, I'd jump right on a big bird | 0:04:27 | 0:04:30 | |
# And then I'd fly | 0:04:30 | 0:04:32 | |
# I've been a puppet, a pauper, A pirate, a poet | 0:04:34 | 0:04:39 | |
# A pawn and a king | 0:04:39 | 0:04:42 | |
# I've been up and down And over and out | 0:04:42 | 0:04:46 | |
# But I, I know one thing | 0:04:46 | 0:04:49 | |
# Each time I find myself | 0:04:49 | 0:04:52 | |
# Laying flat on my face | 0:04:52 | 0:04:56 | |
# I pick myself up And get back in the race | 0:04:56 | 0:05:02 | |
# Yeah, that's life | 0:05:02 | 0:05:04 | |
# That's life, and I can't deny it | 0:05:07 | 0:05:09 | |
# Many times I thought Of quitting, baby | 0:05:11 | 0:05:14 | |
# But my heart won't buy it | 0:05:14 | 0:05:17 | |
# But if there's nothing shaking Come July | 0:05:17 | 0:05:22 | |
# I'm going to roll myself up | 0:05:24 | 0:05:28 | |
# In a big ball | 0:05:28 | 0:05:31 | |
# And die... | 0:05:31 | 0:05:38 | |

APPLAUSE | 0:05:45 | 0:05:49 | |
Every so often, Dad would bring home | 0:05:50 | 0:05:53 | |
a first pressing of his latest recording. | 0:05:53 | 0:05:56 | |
Nancy and I would curl up either side of him | 0:05:56 | 0:05:59 | |
on our big red sofa in the living room, | 0:05:59 | 0:06:01 | |
while my brother manned the turntable. | 0:06:01 | 0:06:04 | |
Somehow, I innately knew to sit still and respect the music. | 0:06:04 | 0:06:08 | |
This was a big event in our household. | 0:06:08 | 0:06:11 | |

Yeah. | 0:09:29 | 0:09:31 | |
Can you play the coda one more time | 0:09:44 | 0:09:46 | |
and listen to the two bars before the end and the strings? | 0:09:46 | 0:09:49 | |
Very few people saw my father at work in the recording studio. | 0:09:49 | 0:09:52 | |
He would often invite friends, but never news cameras. | 0:09:52 | 0:09:56 | |
Here is a rare glimpse. | 0:09:56 | 0:09:58 | |
There were too many Ps popping in the past dates we did. | 0:09:58 | 0:10:03 | |
Can you clear those up a little bit? | 0:10:03 | 0:10:05 | |
ENGINEER: If they don't thump. If they're a real thump, I can't. | 0:10:05 | 0:10:08 | |
Well, I don't thump, I just.. | 0:10:08 | 0:10:10 | |
I'm a sneaky P popper. | 0:10:10 | 0:10:12 | |
-I won't stop you. -All right. | 0:10:13 | 0:10:15 | |
# But now the days are short | 0:10:16 | 0:10:20 | |
# I'm in the autumn of the year | 0:10:22 | 0:10:25 | |
I remember Pop's absolute command when recording. | 0:10:25 | 0:10:29 | |
Everyone silent, all eyes fixed on him. | 0:10:29 | 0:10:31 | |
-Shall we try one? -Yeah. | 0:10:31 | 0:10:34 | |
Can we make one? | 0:10:34 | 0:10:35 | |

# With all that perfumed hair | 0:12:14 | 0:12:20 | |
# And it came undone | 0:12:21 | 0:12:26 | |
# When I was 21 | 0:12:28 | 0:12:34 | |
# When I was 35 | 0:12:49 | 0:12:53 | |

# It was a very good year | 0:13:03 | 0:13:06 | |
# For blue-blooded girls Of independent means | 0:13:06 | 0:13:15 | |

# As vintage wine From fine old kegs | 0:14:09 | 0:14:16 | |
# From the brim to the dregs | 0:14:18 | 0:14:23 | |
# It poured sweet and clear | 0:14:26 | 0:14:30 | |
# It was a very good year | 0:14:32 | 0:14:36 | |

Dad was like a camp fire - | 0:17:39 | 0:17:41 | |
he attracted you with a particular energy and warmth. | 0:17:41 | 0:17:44 | |
To be in his company was exhilarating. | 0:17:44 | 0:17:47 | |
When he was with you he was really with you. | 0:17:47 | 0:17:51 | |
The next song is one that you people request the most, I must say, | 0:17:51 | 0:17:54 | |

I'm sure it's no earth-shattering secret, but I like to sing | 0:22:44 | 0:22:48 | |
and probably the most satisfaction I get, | 0:22:48 | 0:22:51 | |
or any singer gets for that matter, | 0:22:51 | 0:22:54 | |
is singing a well-written ballad. | 0:22:54 | 0:22:57 | |
Because when a ballad is right it's like poetry set to music. | 0:22:57 | 0:23:01 | |
One thing I've always tried to reach for in my approach to a ballad | 0:23:02 | 0:23:06 | |
is a respect for the lyric, | 0:23:06 | 0:23:08 | |
I try to do it the way I think the writer would like to have had it done. | 0:23:10 | 0:23:13 | |
For instance I feel a lyric can be a lament, | 0:23:15 | 0:23:18 | |
it can be an exclamation of joy, | 0:23:18 | 0:23:21 | |
or a lyric can tell the sum and substance of a man's life. | 0:23:21 | 0:23:24 | |
# Fairytales can come true It can happen to you | 0:23:40 | 0:23:45 | |
# If you're young at heart | 0:23:48 | 0:23:51 | |
# For it's hard, you will find To be narrow of mind | 0:23:55 | 0:24:01 | |
# If you're young at heart | 0:24:03 | 0:24:06 | |
# You can go to extremes with impossible schemes | 0:24:09 | 0:24:15 | |
# You can laugh if your dreams Fall apart at the seams | 0:24:17 | 0:24:21 | |
# And life gets more exciting with each passing day | 0:24:24 | 0:24:29 | |
# And love is either in your heart or on its way | 0:24:31 | 0:24:38 | |
# Don't you know that it's worth every treasure on Earth | 0:24:38 | 0:24:43 | |
# If you're young at heart | 0:24:45 | 0:24:49 | |
# For as rich as you are It's much better by far | 0:24:52 | 0:24:58 | |
# To be young at heart | 0:25:00 | 0:25:03 | |
# And if you should survive to 105 | 0:25:07 | 0:25:13 | |
# Think of all you've derived out of being alive | 0:25:15 | 0:25:21 | |
# And here is the best part | 0:25:23 | 0:25:25 | |
# You had a head start | 0:25:25 | 0:25:28 | |
# If you are among the very young at heart. # | 0:25:30 | 0:25:39 | |

-She's 17 years old. -Yeah, it's her birthday. -She was born on Father's Day. | 0:25:53 | 0:25:56 | |

In 1957, Dad brought the sound of his classic Capitol recordings | 0:28:54 | 0:28:57 | |
to television. | 0:28:57 | 0:28:59 | |
Live television. | 0:28:59 | 0:29:01 | |
No tape, no second chances. | 0:29:01 | 0:29:03 | |
But he loved a good challenge | 0:29:03 | 0:29:05 | |
and the immediacy definitely appealed to him. | 0:29:05 | 0:29:08 | |
His performances on those shows are some of my favourites. | 0:29:08 | 0:29:12 | |

Dad exhibited such style and swagger. | 0:45:02 | 0:45:04 | |

That was his way. | 0:45:23 | 0:45:26 | |
CROWD CHEERING | 0:45:26 | 0:45:28 | |
# And now the end is near | 0:45:28 | 0:45:33 | |
# And so I face the final curtain | 0:45:33 | 0:45:39 | |
# My friend, I'll make it clear | 0:45:40 | 0:45:45 | |
# I'll state my case of which I'm certain | 0:45:45 | 0:45:53 | |
# I've lived a life that's full | 0:45:53 | 0:45:59 | |
# Travelled each and every highway | 0:45:59 | 0:46:05 | |
# And more, more than this | 0:46:05 | 0:46:11 | |
# I did it my way | 0:46:11 | 0:46:17 | |
# Regrets, I've had a few | 0:46:17 | 0:46:23 | |
# But then again too few to mention | 0:46:23 | 0:46:30 | |
# I did what I had to do | 0:46:30 | 0:46:35 | |
# I saw it through without exemption | 0:46:35 | 0:46:42 | |
# I planned each charted course | 0:46:42 | 0:46:47 | |
# Each careful step along the byway | 0:46:47 | 0:46:54 | |
# And more, much more than this | 0:46:54 | 0:46:59 | |
# I did it my way | 0:46:59 | 0:47:06 | |
# Yes, there were times I guess you knew | 0:47:06 | 0:47:11 | |
# When I bit off more than I could chew | 0:47:11 | 0:47:17 | |
# And with it all, when there was doubt | 0:47:17 | 0:47:24 | |
# I ate it up and spat it out | 0:47:24 | 0:47:30 | |
# I grew tall through it all | 0:47:30 | 0:47:36 | |
# And did it my way | 0:47:36 | 0:47:42 | |
# I've loved, laughed and cried | 0:47:42 | 0:47:49 | |
# I've had my fill, my share of losing | 0:47:49 | 0:47:55 | |
# But now, as tears subside | 0:47:55 | 0:48:00 | |
# I find it all so amusing | 0:48:00 | 0:48:07 | |
# To think I did all that | 0:48:07 | 0:48:12 | |
# And, may I say, not in a shy way | 0:48:12 | 0:48:19 | |
# No, no, not me | 0:48:19 | 0:48:25 | |
# I did it my way | 0:48:25 | 0:48:31 | |
# For what is a man, what has he got | 0:48:31 | 0:48:38 | |
# If not himself, then he has not | 0:48:38 | 0:48:43 | |
# To say the things he truly feels | 0:48:43 | 0:48:49 | |
# And not the words of one who kneels | 0:48:49 | 0:48:55 | |
# The record shows I took the blows | 0:48:55 | 0:49:02 | |
# And did it my way... # | 0:49:02 | 0:49:10 | |
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE | 0:49:10 | 0:49:12 | |
# My way. # | 0:49:16 | 0:49:22 | |
Thank you. | 0:49:26 | 0:49:27 | |
This is a song that came by way of request. | 0:49:33 | 0:49:37 | |
I haven't done this song since I was 15 years old. | 0:49:37 | 0:49:41 | |

# Strangers in the night, exchanging glances | 0:50:01 | 0:50:07 | |
# Wondering in the night What were the chances | 0:50:07 | 0:50:12 | |
# We'd be sharing love | 0:50:12 | 0:50:15 | |
# Before the night was through | 0:50:15 | 0:50:21 | |
# Something in your eyes was so exciting | 0:50:23 | 0:50:28 | |
# Something in your smile was so inviting | 0:50:28 | 0:50:34 | |
# Something in my heart | 0:50:34 | 0:50:37 | |
# Told me I must... | 0:50:37 | 0:50:40 | |
# I must have you | 0:50:40 | 0:50:45 | |
# Strangers in the night, two lonely people | 0:50:45 | 0:50:51 | |
# We were strangers in the night | 0:50:51 | 0:50:54 | |
# Up to the moment when we said our first hello | 0:50:54 | 0:50:59 | |
# Little did we know | 0:50:59 | 0:51:02 | |
# Love was just a glance away | 0:51:02 | 0:51:06 | |
# A warm, embracing dance away and... | 0:51:06 | 0:51:11 | |
# Ever since that night we've been together | 0:51:11 | 0:51:17 | |
# Lovers at first sight in love forever | 0:51:17 | 0:51:22 | |
# It turned out all right for strangers in the night | 0:51:22 | 0:51:29 | |
# Two strangers in the night | 0:51:31 | 0:51:37 | |
# Oh, be-do-be, do-be, do-be, do. # | 0:51:39 | 0:51:48 | |
APPLAUSE | 0:51:48 | 0:51:50 | |
It's nothing Dad ever said, but it didn't take me long to realise | 0:52:00 | 0:52:03 | |
his career came first | 0:52:03 | 0:52:05 | |
and his destiny was partly mine. | 0:52:05 | 0:52:08 | |
I would lose him to the world much of the time and sometimes resent it. | 0:52:08 | 0:52:13 | |
But after all these years without him, | 0:52:13 | 0:52:16 | |
I'm very grateful he worked so hard and well. | 0:52:16 | 0:52:19 | |
I can still see him and hear him, | 0:52:19 | 0:52:22 | |
and that comforts me. | 0:52:22 | 0:52:24 | |
