Back in 1984, MTV had reached over twenty-five million homes and had become a big wheel in the engine of the ever-spinning Van Halen promotional machine. Eddie Van Halen and David Lee Roth even made a cameo appearance in the video for Frank Sinatra’s “L.A. Is My Lady,” from the singer’s final studio album of the 1980s. While riding in a limo, Dave popped a videotape of vintage Sinatra clips into the backseat player, saying, “I got something new–it’s the latest, it’s the greatest, a little bit of Frank!”
The video has been on YouTube for years, but Frank Sinatra’s official channel recently uploaded a cleaner version, which is embedded below.
