# Sinatra in Concert at Royal Festival Hall

Sinatra in Concert at Royal Festival Hall, originally titled and broadcast as Night of Nights, is a BBC television special starring Frank Sinatra in concert at London's Royal Festival Hall filmed on 16 November 1970, the day before he was to leave show business.

## Description

The concert was introduced by Princess Grace of Monaco, the former Grace Kelly, who had co-starred with Sinatra in the 1956 film High Society, prior to her marriage to Rainier III, Prince of Monaco later that year. Princess Grace was a stand-in for Noël Coward, who had been scheduled to appear but was ill.
The television special was directed by Stanley Dorfman and produced by Harold Davison, and the musical direction and conducting was by Bill Miller. The filmed concert was the second night of a two-night charity event to raise money for the United World Colleges Fund, and also featured the comedian Bob Hope. The programme was broadcast in the UK on BBC Television on 22 November 1970.
Ticket sales from Sinatra's appearance raised over £100,000 for the United World Colleges Fund.
Dorman recalled in a 2018 interview in Shindig! magazine that Sinatra had told him "Whatever you do is up to you, I want one camera on my face all the time, so I know when I want to look at the two or three people who are sitting at home, I’m going to be looking into the camera." Dorfman went on to use this technique when filming other artists.
Sinatra had previously done a charity concert at the Royal Festival Hall, at midnight on June 1, 1962. He was accompanied in that concert by a sextet (also conducted by Miller) rather than an orchestra. This concert was broadcast the following evening on ITV under the title This Is Sinatra! Both the 1962 and 1970 concerts are included in the DVD of the box set Sinatra: London.

## Critical reception

Professional ratings :
| Review scores ||
| Source | Rating |
| AllMusic | |
| The Rolling Stone Album Guide | |
AllMusic editor Alex Henderson wrote that Gladys Knight "isn't remarkable, but is a generally decent effort that ranges from R&B/adult contemporary ballads to up-tempo soul-disco offerings like "You Bring Out the Best in Me" and "You Don't Have to Say I Love You," both of which would appeal to a Loleatta Holloway or Thelma Houston fan [...] This LP, which she produced with Jack Gold, isn't recommended to casual listeners, who would be much better off with an anthology of her classic Motown and Buddah recordings with the Pips. But it's a likable record that is worth hearing if you're among Knight's hardcore fans."

# Azusa Yumi

An azusa yumi (梓弓) is a sacred bow (yumi) used in certain Shinto rituals in Japan, as well as a Japanese musical bow, made from the wood of the Japanese azusa (梓) or Japanese cherry birch tree (Betula grossa). Playing an azusa yumi forms part of some Shinto rituals; in Japan, it is believed that merely the twanging of the bowstring will frighten ghosts and evil spirits away from a house. In Japanese poetry, the word azusa yumi functions as a makurakotoba ("pillow word", a kind of epithet).
The story is told in Japanese mythology that a golden bird perched on the bow of Emperor Jimmu, the great-grandson of the sun goddess Amaterasu, and the first human ruler of Japan. This was seen as an extremely good omen; Jimmu's bow developed the power to dispel evil by the mere plucking of its string. His bow was made of azusa wood.
