Frank Sinatra at 100


One of the most legendary voices of the past 100 years - Frank Sinatra.
He was one of the most acclaimed crooner of music history and yesterday it was 100th anniversary of his birth.

Frank had the best of both worlds and he is, in my opinion, fully deserving of the title of the best singer of all time.
Without question he was the greatest singer of all time! His voice was flawless. Just as Elvis was known as ‘The King’ and James Brown as the ‘Godfather of Soul’, Sinatra was known as ‘The Voice’ and "The Main Event"



It's a shame that the youth of today truly don't know what good music is or good movies for that matter. You could take a couple of turds and put them in front of a blue screen and it becomes a blockbuster. Music has become unimaginative and remakes. No originality anymore. It's all degrading and lip synched.
And Frank was more than just a singer, he was an entertainer of the highest class. He was the one who brought the entire idea of popular music. 
Perfect phrasing, diction, rhythm, in addition to both a superb romantic sound and sophistication. What more can I say? He defines great singing, and all great singers are compared to him.
