How would Sinatra feel about the choice?
Sinatra’s daughter Nancy Sinatra weighed in, “He actually did loathe him.”
The line in question: “And now the end is near.”

Because not only did Sinatra dislike the man he also disliked the song.
“He always thought that song was self-serving and self-indulgent,” Tina Sinatra explained.
“He didn’t like it.

That song stuck and he couldn’t get it off his shoe.”
He later added in Atlantic City, “I hate this song.
I HATE THIS SONG!

I got it up to here [with] this God damned song!”
Yes, we watched that happen."
