Never usually have the TV on during the day but we recorded this on Sky Arts, I've watched many documentaries about him but this was a truly in depth look into the great man's career, we have sat with a coffee and toasted crumpets on this cool,windy afternoon enjoying this, well worth a watch

Much as I love Frank, for me the crooner de choix is Tony Bennett:
