 Pink can sing, but TTD can't?? No offence, but I don't get it. I also don't get why 3/4 of todays' so called artist are successful. It boggles my mind. | |

oh come on, quit it now... you can't be serious, can you? Frank together with Billie Holiday pretty much defined what is "singing" in Pop music culture... before them there was nothing... the impact those had at their time is on the same level with MJ in the 80ees On Billie we agree, but Frank? Just a white dude singing. That's it. | |

And LL Cool J is a fake MC?   I'm laughing at his entire post...Me too.  ALthough some of it I agree with, and some I most certainly do not.  "I saw a woman with major Hammer pants on the subway a few weeks ago and totally thought of you." - sextonseven | |

Frank was amazing.  And a good actor and dancer as well. "I saw a woman with major Hammer pants on the subway a few weeks ago and totally thought of you." - sextonseven | |

I think it's a shame that you see Frank as "just a white dude singing". | |

Ditto on that. and edit to say that is Graycap talking about the very same Frank Sinatra that we are?  Because he is a legend. Granted, his voice went downhill towards the end of his singing career, and IMO he became sort of cheesy, but The Capitol years!!!

Interesting that u see it that way. I guess it depends on how you measure what makes a good singer. For me, if I close my eyes and listen to music, one of 2 things happen, either I "feel" the music in my soul, or I don't. If I don't "feel" the music, it falls into the shit category. That's just they way I measure it. Everyone measures it differently for themselves. I just don't see the legend that Frank has been made out to be. His music does not move at all. Not even a little. Elvis could run rings around Frank. | |

The way he sings songs like "Three Coins in the Fountain", "I've Got You Under My Skin", "In the Wee Small Hours of the Morning", "What is This Thing Called Love", etc. is done just beautifully. It's WHY he is such a legend, and why so many others after him have tried to copy his style. One of my all-time favorite singing voices and performers ever. "Just a white dude singing. That's it." And Frank was Italian, born in New Jersey. So you might want to change that to "just some Italian dude singing" instead.

I'm surprise he was able to carve out a career with Jerry lee lewis, Elvis, Little Richard, James Brown, and all those other cats around. To each his own I guess. I've tried to like him but just can't get into it. The same holds true for Jimi Hendrix. It's just loud noise to me. I dig his Blues cd, but not the other stuff. | |

Oh just you wait for people to unleash their wrath on you for the Hendrix comment. I don't even know where to BEGIN with you on that one. 
Frank's career began in the late 30s and he was already a huge star by the early 40s, so I don't think he had anything to worry about as far as competition goes from the others that you listed who that came after him.

I mean, yes why would you say you're into someone if you're really not. But I assume you're a Prince fan, which always makes me wonder...

Just wondering how someone cannot appreciate the original and all.Good question. I have all of Jimi's stuff but I only listen to the blues cd. The other stuff really does hurt my ears. I'm glad that he impacted Prince though. I love Prince's guitar licks. | |

Elvis was good, but his voice was no where near as good and pure as Franks. | |

But yea, Pink has a killer voice. She just uses it on mediocre songs for the most part, causing me not to listen    I never met you, but I LOVE you & I will forever!! Thank you for being YOU - my little Princey, the best to EVER do it | |

The charisma he brought to the stage, the way he worked a song, raw sex appeal... Born for the stage all the way. Forget the CDs, get a video of him performing. He and Judy Garland could give everything they had to a song. He was an amazing actor too. Check out From Here To Eternity. | |

He's the one who called Frank "just some white guy singing", not me. I was being facetious anyway.  I just pointed out that he was Italian (his parents were both immigrants from Italy and newly in America I imagine as it was 1915) in response to his comment about him being white, which IMO didn't have anything to do with anything. And Italian is white? Hmm, I thought it was Italian. Silly me.

Geeee,some people in here really think they know it all,don't they?..
Careers you don't get?...They sell albums,what is it about that you don't get? (you may not like to see an act sell that many albums maybe,but can't you see who's buying them?..) | |
