Never liked Sinatra myself and always thought of him as the biggest rat in the Pack.

Pretty much my thoughts also; a scumbag of a human being who was a minimally talented lounge singer who was in exactly the right time at the right place.

That criticism being dumped on him, he by all rights was an extremely generous man, charity-wise. His handlers assured him a better legacy by instituting this.

I really cannot offer any details as to why Sinatra was not appealing to me. To most people I think he was very well-liked. I just didn't click with his personality I guess.

Like him or not the guy was a huge talent and quite probably the "Entertainer of the Century", 20th that is.
He had the voice and the technique most singers would have killed for. No one and I mean no one ever sounded as good as Sinatra in his prime. Dean Martin was great but not as good as Sinatra with his breathing and ability to phrase a lyric. Never will be another.
