It was tradition for Frank to sing one or two songs before sending everyone off to the bar. It was to be an easy performance, but a performance nonetheless.When I saw Frank that afternoon at rehearsal he looked like a different man. He was tan, rested, and in a great mood, even joking as he started to sing that he “thought he swallowed a shot glass.”That night he opened with “I’ve Got the World on a String,” and it was the Frank of old. Didn’t miss a word or note. Then, he called another song. And then another song, and then another. By the time he left the stage we had done a mini-Sinatra concert with Frank performing six classics. And with mic and the audience in hand, he sang his final message: “The best is yet to come, come the day you’re mine . . . And I’m gonna make you mine!” It was perfect. Frank swinging on top, owning it, and then disappearing into the chilly desert night.The last time I saw Frank was in June of that year. His longtime assistant Dorothy Uhlemann called to invite me to join Frank for a Father’s Day dinner at Arnie Morton’s in Beverly Hills, a favorite Sinatra haunt.As usual, we all congregated at the bar. Frank asked what I was having. The answer was, of course, Jack—but when his back was turned, I whispered to the bartender to add a little ginger ale.Turns out he wasn’t as far away as I thought.“Would you like a little apple pie with your whiskey?” he asked.That was the last time I ever ruined perfectly good hootch.It was nearly two A.M. when the celebrations were over. As we headed out the door and into the night, Frank said to no one in particular, “I sure miss Smokey.”I’ll never know what caused him to think about Sammy Davis Jr. at that moment but he was in a sentimental mood by the end of the evening. As he climbed into his car, Frank reached out and shook my hand.“See ya, pally,” he said.At that moment all my Sinatra times turned into memories.Driving home I had “Come Fly with Me” blasting in the car. It reminded me of a favorite toast of Frank’s: “May you live to be a hundred and may the last voice you hear be mine!”If I can’t have the former, the latter will do."
