On March 27,1951, during a period of intense personal and professional problems, Sinatra entered the Columbia studios in New York to record "I'm A Fool To Want You" for the first time. It was a song he more than just help compose; he was living it. Many consider the recording, which is posted here, to be the most emotion-filled performance of his career--or at least the most moving of the song, anyway. You hear a vulnerable Sinatra filled with tremendous suffering and sorrow. It was a time in his life he later described as "all Mondays." His first marriage was essentially over. His career was in a downward spiral and about to crash. Within a year's time Columbia did not renew his recording contract; his TV show was canceled; he lost his radio and film deals; he was dropped by his talent agency. Sinatra's career, even by his own admission, was considered over. Plus, he nearly was broke financially. Oh, then there was his torrid affair with actress Ava Gardner. Nothing in life wounded Sinatra more than his relationship with her. Their affair was once described as "a two-year soap opera with screaming fights heard around the world." Sinatra's intensely passionate and wildly stormy relationship with Gardner--"The Last Goddess" was "the" love of his life--has been well documented. It was one of the most dramatic and heavily reported Hollywood affairs in the early 1950s. At the time, the two were the rage--and he, the contempt--of every gossip rag. But Gardner was the only one who could damage him. And how his love for her left him damaged. If the reports are true, Sinatra attempted to take his own life on two different occasions to end the severe pain that gripped him over losing Gardner. His need for her was that great. I simply can't imagine what the world would be like without the incredible music Sinatra's relationship with Ava Gardner influenced... Note: also posted on my channel the recording Sinatra made in 1957 of "I'm A Fool To Want You." It's my favorite version of the song. Oh, and for too long now it's been my favorite Sinatra recording of all...
