Sinatra was a good actor as well as a good singer.

My mother loved him. He was a teen idol in her day. She was 16 when an older cousin sneaked her out of the house to see Sinatra perform. Unfortunately, my ultra strict grandfather found out and my mother was punished. But she always said it was worth it just to see Sinatra.

My folks had an extensive record collection of Sinatra and other artists of their day. I grew up with their music and much of the time, I prefer the old standards to the rock n roll popular in my youth. And most of today’s artists, I wouldn’t give a plug nickel to see.

I saw him a few years before he died — obviously, he couldn’t sing as well as he had in his youth, but he still had great stage presence...and a very nice suit! :-D
