_jr_ Posted June 4, 2005 Report Posted June 4, 2005 I was driving home this evening, listening to Sinatra, and 'Luck Be A Lady' came on. Who is the woman singing with him? I have heard this song hundreds of times, and always loved that woman's voice. I hunted around, but couldn't find who it is.
_Laurie_ Posted June 4, 2005 Report Posted June 4, 2005 Jr....i grew up having to listen to sinatra...my parents, especially my dad would listen to him all the time...if you dont find out, i'll ask them about it...i also remembering him singing Baby It's Cold Outside with a female vocalist, could be the same one????maybe? now you got me curious too
SoulGirl Posted June 4, 2005 Report Posted June 4, 2005 i went rooting around for it but couldn't come up with anything either. i guess the best shot would be the inlet card/liner notes of one of his cds...? sorry i couldn't be of more help
_jr_ Posted June 4, 2005 Author Report Posted June 4, 2005 Ah...the game's afoot, Watson!!! Whaddaya mean having to listen to Sinatra? You don't care for Frank??!!
bluesboy Posted June 4, 2005 Report Posted June 4, 2005 A 1994 release called Duets II has a version with Chrissie Hynde. I just remember his 1960's versions.
_Laurie_ Posted June 4, 2005 Report Posted June 4, 2005 as a teen i didnt care for it jr, but now that im older, i appreciate it much more....frankie is cool
_jr_ Posted June 4, 2005 Author Report Posted June 4, 2005 as a teen i didnt care for it jr, but now that im older, i appreciate it much more....frankie is cool You have your folks to thank for that. Isn't that cool? Man, bluesy, that's a lot of versions. I will have to sift and see if I can find the match.
bluesboy Posted June 4, 2005 Report Posted June 4, 2005 I don't recall any duets in the '60s albums unless it's like a female singer sittin' in for a couple of songs at a live Vegas show recording (like rat pack or Basie). I'll sift thru that Sinatra list also.
Guest Posted June 4, 2005 Report Posted June 4, 2005 Okay, okay, I was trying to be modest, but it was me....I admit it.
_Laurie_ Posted June 4, 2005 Report Posted June 4, 2005 could it of been Dinah Shore, Doris Day, someone like that maybe?....I feel like we are back to guessing Old 55's trivia questions....this would be a good one! jr....got any money?.....you offering a reward? ::
Brad_M Posted June 4, 2005 Report Posted June 4, 2005 Finally, the tables are turned. Someone asking jr if he's got any money.

edna Posted June 4, 2005 Report Posted June 4, 2005 no way man! FREEBIRD!!!!1 Its so much better than Stairway coz its faster!
ryansgirl319 Posted June 5, 2005 Report Posted June 5, 2005 Was it Peggy Lee? In searching for the answer I found that Frank did a version of McAurthur Park. I would hate to be the one to leave old blue eyes' cake out in the rain. You would end up with a black eye or worse.
Uncle Joe Posted June 5, 2005 Report Posted June 5, 2005 I'll do some checking but the only woman I've heard Frank do a duet with on Luck Be A Lady was Ella Fitzgerald.
edna Posted June 5, 2005 Report Posted June 5, 2005 Frank Sinatra recorded "Luck be a Lady" with Chrissie Hynde and it was released on his album "Duets II", in 1994. So that woman you heard is the Pretender´s voice, Jr. here
DJ Kat WQAQ98.1 Posted June 5, 2005 Report Posted June 5, 2005 A 1994 release called Duets II has a version with Chrissie Hynde. I just remember his 1960's versions. I agree with Bluesboy. The version you more than likely heard was off the Duets 2 album. If you're looking for some great compilations those are the albums to get.
Uncle Joe Posted June 5, 2005 Report Posted June 5, 2005 Just keep in mind that the on the Duets CD's the songs were recorded seperately. Frank was never in the same room or even the same state with his partners on these "duets". Electronic garbage (one man's opinion)...and I happen to be a big fan of Frank's.

Yeah I'm aware... the match ups are interesting even if htey didn't record them together. There was talk about doing a Duets 3 a few years ago (post-mortem of course) but it never came to pass. Does anyone remember the SNL sketch about the Frank Duet recordings... it was an on going one... i remember one with Eddie Murphy as Stevie Wonder and I can't remember who as Frank doing Ebony and Ivory.
_jr_ Posted June 6, 2005 Author Report Posted June 6, 2005 Well, I know for sure it's not the one with Chrissie Hynde. How can I put a link up here for others to listen to it?
