Why Sinatra???


Streaming Jazz Standards this mourning,heavily peppered with Sinatra & Dean'o & for the life of me I do not understand why Dean Martin isn't considered the voice of the rat pak..How can anyone with an ear prefer Sinatra's voice over Dean'o?

Unlike Diana Krall, Sinatra gets swing and his timing is impeccable. Probably his most significant talent. Very few get it. Robbie Williams has it too. Swing while your winning is a good effort! Michael Buble just looks cute but never had it and never would have gone anywhere without auto-tune.

Freddie Mercury has it too. I can’t describe this kind of incredible talent. I don’t think it can be taught. I can only recognize it instantly when heard. The gulf between people like Sinatra, Freddie Mercury and others is bigger than the ocean is wide. What you don’t play or say is just as important or more important than what you do play or say.
