Satisfy Me One More Time - Sinatra Huddleston
FRANK SINATRA
SOME NICE THINGS I'VE MISED
LYRICS
Don't deny me, satisfy me one more time
Barricade me and invade me, just one more time
Sacrifice me, don't be nice, be wild and free
Make a sex-pot symbol out of little old me
Caress me, molest me, one more time
Misuse me and abuse me one more time
Excite me and ignite me with your sweet torso
Use your muscles, my corpuscles, wanna go
Assault me, attack me, lose control
Let's smother each other in a good old strangle-hold
There's nothing but loving on my mind
Don't deny me, satisfy me one more time
Compromise me, vandalize me, have a ball
Destroy me and enjoy me through it all
Demolish, disassemble and dismantle my apparel
If a birthday suit ain't cute ill wear a barrel
Bite my ears, baby, nibble on my nose
Let your dimples put goose pimples on my toes
There's sugar oozing over from my elbows to my knees
So cover me with kisses, get yourself some calories
If you don't want me climbing up the wall
Don't fool around my fertile ground at all
While the cold is getting colder, just be sure
Everything we got is body temperature, warm it up
They're still a lot of groovy goodies left
When you reach the cookie jar, just help yourself
There ain't nothing, but loving on my mind
Don't deny me, satisfy me one more time
Encore, encore, encore
SATISFY ME ONE MORE TIME
Composer - Floyd Huddleston
Music & Lyrics by Floyd Huddleston 1974
Satisfy Me One More Time ? Not many people know this song, even rabid fans of the late great Francis Albert Sinatra have nover heard it. I first discovered the song in 1987 when I bought the album "Some Nice Things I've Missed" by Frank Sinatra.
When I put the song on I was flabbergasted, and I Fell in Love with the song in an instant. The song is up beat, fast tempoed, Risky, and Sexy as Hell, "You've Just Gotta Love it" ???
This song has been become sort of a theme song and anthem of mine personally. I delight in turning people on to it, and sing it myself at get-togethers. And everyone loves it when I do, and astonished by it, and suprised that they've never heard it before. Who wouldn't be ? I'm sure you'll agree, when you do. So listen and delight in a Sinatra song that you mibhet very well be hearing for the first time? SATISFY ME ONE MORE TIME, sung by Sinatra. "Ancor Ancore Ancore" !!!

FRANK
ALL MY TOMORROWS
Sung by FRANK SINATRA
in His 70s
Listen to this beautiful rendition of All My Tomorrows which was written specifically for Frank, lyrics by Sammy Cahn music by Jimmy Van Huesen .. The video below is the same song when Sinatra first recorded when he was in his 40s. It's a wonderful recording but it's nowhere near as beautiful as this later rendition when Frank was much more mature. Frank sounds infinately better as does the later musical arrangement and fantastic orchestra behind Frank.
The recording of this song is one of Sinatra's most Beautifully Poignant of all. We're sure you'll agree.
"All My Tomorrows" is a 1959 ballad with lyrics by Sammy Cahn and music by Jimmy van Heusen. The song was expressly written as a Frank Sinatra vehicle. It was introduced in the film A Hole in the Head where Sinatra sings it in the opening credits.
Sinatra later featured "All My Tomorrows" on his 1961 album All the Way. Sinatra re-recorded it for his 1969 album My Way, in a new arrangement which Charles L. Granata considers to be superior to the original, and which AllMusic calls "lush and aching". Rolling Stone describes the song as "the poignant monologue of a man determined to turn his life around".

The RAT PACK
The RAT PACK
FRANK SAMMY & DINO
10 RAT PACK Facts
1. The Rat Pack was a term used to describe a group of musicians and actors in the 1950s and '60s who embodied the term "cool." Famously consisting of big names like Frank Sinatra, Sammy Davis Jr., Dean Martin, Joey Bishop and Peter Lawford, the A-List group took Hollywood by storm.
2. The name "Rat Pack" was not actually a complimentary term. The phrase's origin comes from a moment when iconic movie star Humphrey Bogart came home from Las Vegas with his hard-partying group of friends. Bogart's wife, actress Lauren Bacall, allegedly came downstairs and scolded the group, claiming they looked "like a goddamn rat pack." The catchphrase quickly caught on.
3. There were actually two different Rat Packs, one popular in the '50s and another (the most famous and notable) in the '60s. The first consisted of Humphrey Bogart, Mickey Rooney, Errol Flynn, Frank Sinatra, Nat King Cole, Cesar Romero and Jerry Lewis.
4. The name of the iconic Great Dane cartoon character Scooby-Doo has Frank Sinatra to thank for his namesake. The famous mutt's creator, Iwao Takamoto, listened to Sinatra's hit song "Strangers in the Night" and noticed his scatting (which sounded like "dooby dooby doo.") This ultimately led to the character's name.
5. Ocean's 11 (1960) was a famed heist movie that featured all five of the Pack's members in lead roles (Frank Sinatra, Sammy Davis Jr., Dean Martin, Peter Lawford and Joey Bishop).
6. Dean Martin wasn't actually a big fan of parties, despite his reputation and membership in the Pack. Not only was he religious and a devout Catholic, but he was also self-described as shy and ashamed of the way he spoke.
BOGEY & BACALL
Humprhrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall actually started The RAT PACK,
and it was Lauren Bacall who came up with the name, when her husband
Humphrey Bogart held court at their Beverly Hills home, with the likes of :
Judy Garland, Sid Luft, David Niven, Cary Grant, Humphrey Bogart,
Frank Sinatra, Jimmy VanHuesen, Rex Harrison, Lauren Bacall,
Spencer Tracy, Katherine Hephurn and others.
One day, as Bogey was and the above friends were hanging aroud, drinking at
the Bogart's Hombly Hills home, Larent Bacall took a look at them, and saide,
"you look like a Pack of Rats," and it turned into The Rat pack and the name stuck,
and after Bogart died and as Frank Sinatra an original Bogart Rat Pack member and
his friends: Dean Martin and Sammy Davis Jr., performed and hungout together
in Las Vegas, the press attached The Rat Pack name to this new group
The Rat Pack, the name stuck and the rest of course is history, and Las Vegas and Hollywood Legend.

During the filming of OCEANS 11
7. Joey Bishop was considered the more serious man of the group regarding comedy and wild antics. Ironically, he was also the member who wrote their comedic material behind the scenes.
8. Bishop was also insecure about his standing with the Pack and felt like an outsider. He would constantly wait for an invitation to join the rest of the group when dining. His close friend Sinatra once reportedly said, "Goddammit, how long does he have to be with me before he knows he can eat with us?"
9. The group often performed at the Copa Room in the Sands Hotel in Las Vegas. Whenever a member was booked, billboards would hint at the surprise appearances of the other members.
10. The Rat Pack was known for its association with many famous actresses, including Lauren Bacall, Shirley MacLaine, Marilyn Monroe, Juliette Prowse and Angie Dickinson. The leading ladies made many appearances in the Rat Pack films. Frank Sinatra even had romantic relationships with Prowse and Dickinson.
The Rat Pack never referred to itself as such after Humphrey Bogart's death in 1957. The media and public used the term. The members actually preferred to call themselves the Clan or the Summit.

LERCARA FRIDDI - SICILY
FRANK MARTY DOLLY & DANNY
Frank Sinatra's father was born and raised in the town of Lercara Friddi, Sicily, about 45 minutes south of the Sicilian capital of Palermo. Frank's father Saverio Martino Sinatra immigrated to New York City with his mother in 1903. His father FRancesco Sinatra was already living there and working in a pencil factory.
Frank Sinatra's mother Dortea (Dolly) Gravante was born in Lumarzo, Italy, a small town near Genoa. She was born the day after Christmas, December 1897. Her family immigrated to America when she was just and infant.
Dolly and Marty Senatra met and married in 1913. There only child Frank Sinatra was born December 12, 1915. The rest is history.
Of Frank Sinatra's two parents Dolly and Martino, they both cooked, but Marty was the better cook of the two, and often cooked dinner for his wife and child, and himself. Martino learned to cook from his mother and aunts who were all Sicilian, and Martino cooked most Sicilian dishes like, Caponata, Pasta con Sarde, and Baked Ziti with Meatballs.
Italian-American author Daniel Bellino Z's maternal grandparents, Giuseppina Salemi and Fillipo Bellino were both born in Lercara Friddi, Sicily, the same town that Frank Sinatra's father comes from. The women in Danie's family were wonderful cooks, including Daniel's Aunt Fran, Wanda, and Aunt Helen, an his mother's mother Giuseppina, the woman named in his cookbook
Granma Bellino's Italian Cookbook, "Recipes from My Sicilian Nonna" This cookbook is the closest we get to a Frank Sinatra Cookbook, and so some people have refered to it
as The Sinatra Cookbook
To Cook and Eat like Frank Sinatra, Grandma Bellino's Italian Cookbook is the closest cookbook that comes clost to the recipes of dishes that Frank Sinatra ate, growing up in Hoboken, New Jersey. It's available on Amazon.com ...
