Frank Sinatra - "Royal Festival Hall 1970" - [LIVE] Music Video

Frank Sinatra: In Concert At The Royal Festival Hall was a 50-minute TV special filmed in color by the BBC, capturing Ol’ Blue Eyes performing onstage in London, one of his favorite cities.

The performance had taken place on Tuesday, November 16, 1970 – just 26 days shy of Sinatra’s 55th birthday. It was the second and final concert of a two-night charity event called Night Of Nights, which also featured London-born US comedian Bob Hope.

Before The Chairman took to the stage, he was introduced to the audience by Princess Grace Of Monaco. Sinatra had first known and worked with her before she was royalty, when she was Hollywood actress Grace Kelly (she starred opposite Sinatra in the 1956 movie High Society). At Sinatra’s invitation, Princess Grace had stepped in as a last-minute replacement for Noël Coward, who was originally hired as the night’s compère but had been taken ill (Sinatra visited him in hospital during his time in London).
