My dad would always say, “old is gold.” I never got that saying when I was younger. It’s like, how can something old be equivalent to gold? Old things are rusty and lackluster whereas gold is shining and bright. That is what I used to think, but now things have changed.
I can totally understand the saying relevant to a lot of things today, but if there’s something that I can apply this statement to all the time, it has to be music. Musicians today are amazing; they’re creative and have spunk. But, the musicians from decades ago are timeless. Their songs and voices are unparalleled; these men and women know how to create magic on stage and always kept their audience engaged. There weren’t that many special effects and too much technology to make a live show appealing. These artists had to work hard to not bore the audience through their singing.
I’m sure you can think of plenty of singers who come to mind when you think about timeless classics. But, the two that we’re about to share below are unique in their own ways. In the video at the end of the post, you’ll see a rare moment in which Frank Sinatra and Liza Minnelli share stage space and serenade a live audience with the ever-so-popular “New York, New York.”
Frank is known as one of the best musicians of his time. He is a best-selling music artist who released his very first album in 1946. His talent is unmatched and there are many people, today, who sing renditions of his songs all the time.
Liza is most famous for her Mezzo-Soprano singing voice which leaves the audience breathless every single time. She is also a brilliant actress.
It’s safe to say that both of these artists are incredibly talented. So, it can only be a real treat to see them perform together on stage. They share beautiful chemistry while putting on a show for their audience. Liza dances around the stage while Frank belts out the popular lyrics in his heavenly voice. When she chimes in, the duet is complete.
They’re both dressed to the nines: Frank in a black suit and Liza in a shimmering black dress and sheer pantyhose. This duo seriously looks unstoppable on stage.
