August 16th 1977 saw the passing of a man that epitomized, and even re-invented the word "awesome."
he was 42 when he died, making him forever young and, if you were to ask some, immortal.
this video of him is from the concert he put on in Hawaii in 1972 (at age 37). This was the world's first EVER live satellite broadcast... as a fundraiser for cancer, i believe, $75,000 was raised for research.
This song is, without a doubt, my favourite of all time... Written by Paul Anka, it was made famous by Frank Sinatra. I believe this was the last song that Sinatra performed before he passed away in 1998. Could be wrong on that one, but that's what i thought i read at one point... anyway.........
January 8th 1935 - August 16th 1977
Until next time....... Thank you. Thank you very much...
