    You watch your mouth!

    He's the greatest singer of his era!


    Saying that Mr. Sinatra sucks is like kicking the pope in the balls!

    I liked this quote from Bono.

    "Rock and Roll people love Frank Sinatra, because Frank Sinatra has got what we want - swagger and attitude."
    - Bono

    Are you kidding me? Nothing like Sunday with Sinatra! Don't listen to him all the time since his show is not on the local channels anymore, but definitely a significant figure in musical history.

    Best when you are a little buzzed up and you pop it on at a party. You'd be surprised how many people like Frankie.
    I will hold the candle until it burns up my arm. I'll keep taking punches until their will grows tired. I will stare the sun down until my eyes go blind. I won't change direction and I won't change my mind.

    "Throughout my career, if I have done anything, I have paid attention to every note and every word I sing-if I respect the song. If I cannot project this to a listener, I fail."
    -Frank Sinatra


    He faced triumph, failure and triumph again throughout his long career as an entertainer. New musical fads and trends have come and gone during his lifetime but this man and his music have remained at the forefront of American culture for nearly half a century.

    Listening to his recorded legacy, an incredible body of work that spans 1939 to 1994, there can be little doubt that Sinatra is the single greatest interpreter of American popular song-the one performer who elevated what he referred to as "saloon singing" to a high art. A man who has enriched American music with countless superior recordings of many classic standards and provided the soundtrack for much of this century.

    (some nice things said about Sinatra from people who gave a meaningful opinion) {unlike the poster who started this thread!]

    ``` In addition to his sound and presence, Sinatra has the ability to sing a tune in any style and make it sound like his own. The sound is always rich and full and no one interprets a tune that is more believable than the way he has with both the music and the lyrics. An example of this magnified is when you hear the music of the various arrangers in the background and the way in which Sinatra blends, it is chameleon-like. As a musician, you can feel what he is doing and at that moment you want to be a part of it. ```

    He was quite good as an actor, back in the day. But the sound of him as an old man, dueting with Bono, should have been punishable by Hague Tribunal.
