There were far better pop vocalists... Very true. But Sinatra was rather unique in that he had a talent when it came to picking which songs to record, and which songs to pass on.
A Sinatra song is almost by definition a good song.

I tend to agree, but I think some performers just come along at the right time - Jolson, Crosby, Sinatra, Elvis, The Beatles, etc. - and do a good job of taking advantage of the opportunity.
