Synopsis

Frank Sinatra and Bono are presented as an unlikely meeting of musical generations. The video combines archival images of Sinatra in performance with newly filmed footage of Bono, creating the impression of a cross-generational exchange rather than a conventional duet performance. Brief shared scenes place the two singers in the same visual world, while the editing moves between Sinatra's classic screen persona and Bono's more contemporary presence. The result is a stylish promotional clip built around contrast, atmosphere, and the symbolic meeting of two distinctive vocal personalities.

Factoids & Trivia

  • The song is Cole Porter's 1936 standard, reworked here as an electronically assembled duet between Sinatra and Bono for Sinatra's 1993 album *Duets*.
  • Bono recorded his vocal separately from Sinatra. Producer Phil Ramone later recalled that Bono used a handheld microphone and stood on a couch in the control room while overdubbing his part at STS Studios in Dublin.
  • The single was issued as a double A-side with U2's "Stay (Faraway, So Close!)" in 1993 and reached No. 4 on the UK Singles Chart.
  • The video relies heavily on Sinatra archive footage, supplemented by newly shot material rather than a full-length, conventional performance by both singers.
  • The clip's unusual construction reflects the practical reality of the recording: Sinatra's vocal was taken from an earlier performance, while Bono was added later to create the duet.
