The United States Navy Band takes us back in time with their rendition of Frank Sinatra’s ‘Come Fly With Me.’ This famous song always gives us a much-needed dose of nostalgia.
“Once I get you up there
Where the air is rarefied
We’ll just glide
Starry-eyed
Once I get you up there
I’ll be holding you so near
You might hear
All the angels cheer because we’re together”
Frank Sinatra continues to be one of the most recognized jazz musician names in the entire world. The popular blue-eyed crooner grabbed hearts in America and later internationally through both a singing career and fame in Hollywood.
Over the years, many artists have lent their voices to the songs that Frank made famous. But these iconic songs are always a risky choice for a performer.
The United States Navy Band had no problem covering one of Frank’s biggest hits, ‘Come Fly With Me.’ Just listen as the band flawlessly executes this beloved tune.
“Weather-wise, it’s such a lovely day
Just say those words and we’ll feed those birds
Down to Acapulco Bay
It is perfect for a flying honeymoon, they say
Come on fly with me, we’ll fly, we’ll fly away, we’ll fly”
The United States Navy Band celebrates their 50th anniversary this year and I’m hoping that we continue to hear classic performances like this in the future.
What a perfect and upbeat rendition of this beloved song. Who else was singing along as the band played this Frank Sinatra favorite?
