Send In The Clowns – Frank Sinatra
“Send In The Clowns” is a classic song written by Stephen Sondheim for the 1973 musical “A Little Night Music.” While it wasn’t initially a hit, it gained popularity after Frank Sinatra recorded it for his 1973 album “Ol’ Blue Eyes Is Back.” Sinatra’s rendition of the song is widely regarded as one of the definitive versions.
The song is a poignant ballad that reflects on missed opportunities and the passage of time. Its lyrics are often interpreted as a reflection on love, regret, and the complexities of relationships. The title itself is a theatrical expression, suggesting a moment of crisis or unexpected turn of events, often with a touch of irony.
Sinatra’s interpretation of “Send In The Clowns” showcases his emotive vocal style and ability to convey deep emotion through his singing. His rendition captures the bittersweet essence of the song, drawing listeners into its melancholic narrative.
Over the years, “Send In The Clowns” has been covered by numerous artists across various genres, but Sinatra’s version remains one of the most beloved and enduring. It’s a testament to his talent as an interpreter of songs and his ability to connect with audiences on a deeply emotional level.

Well done, but sad! Too bad nobody has thought of updating this video and include people like Robin Williams, Johnny Carson and other comedians who passed away more recently.
