You can take a black guy to Nashville from right out of the cotton fields with bib overalls, and they will call him R&B. You can take a white guy in a pin-stripe suit who’s never seen a cotton field, and they will call him country. ~ O. B. McClinton

Cyndi, but Frank songs are also covered by mostly all Jazz artist, say Fly Me To The Moon, All The Way(Which Sam Cooke covered the best IMO) Under My Skin, etc. Elvis's Can't Help Falling In Love is often recorded as well.

Stop, Look, Listen (to your Heart)

every version of this song is absolutely beautiful: The Stylistics, Diana Ross & Marvin Gaye, Toni Braxton & Michael McDonald (my fav biggrin ), Johnny Mathis

“The only male singer who I’ve seen besides myself and who’s better than me – that is Michael Jackson.” – Frank Sinatra

I can't believe I said anything positive about that period of his work. He really does wonders to the melody with his playing in any case.

I Will Survive by Gloria Gaynor is another song that was recorded tons of time. Either in studio or in concert. Marc Anthony did a killer salsa version in concert in his earliers days when I saw him live, around the time his 2nd CD Todo a Su Tiempo dropped. It has never been released in any form so you won't find it anywhere Guns. razz
