"...no places left for a new kid to be bad at first."
Yep...Vocal coaches in my day told their young singers to remember that one half of a crowd was probably tone deaf and one quarter didn't care. That left just one quarter to please...

In 1937, most of the big movie studios were located in Hollywood or close by, and some still are, as are many businesses related to the movie industry.

I personally rank the top male, non-classical singers of the past one hundred years chronologically, as follows:
- Bing Crosby
- Frank Sinatra
- Elvis Presley
- Michael Jackson

My wife and I were going through our closet when we discovered a wooden puzzle box where the puzzle was how to open it. I picked it up to shake it and heard something rattling around inside. My wife said it was “something stupid”.
I quickly found my iPad and Googled Youtube: Frank Sinatra Something Stupid.
That led to a nice, slow dance! I would recommend Freepers to try it (with your own wife)! 😀

Everyone wants a signature song for their city which is why we have so many songs named after cities.
This one is a flop and forgettable.

Well, you have to follow up that with Things by Dean Martin and Nancy Sinatra.

Nat King Cole?...He was one of the best...Sinatra and the others I listed were my choices because they dominated their eras based on sales, longevity on top and their “chops” in my ear. I wouldn't question anyone's taste in preferring Como, Laine, Cole etc. over my preference for Sinatra. And then there is the aspect of certain artists “owning” certain songs.
