I told a friend one time that I thought Frank Sinatra was probably the greatest male singer of the 20th century, and she fell on the floor laughing and saying that was the craziest thing she ever heard.

Some people just don't have taste, I suppose...

No probably about it - he was! Who else had a career spanning six decades and who could still pack them in? Whom else from the fifties and earlier, had pop and rock singers clamoring to perform with him? Frank, the skinny guinea from Hoboken, was a one-and-only!

I gotta go with Bing Crosby as a great male singer of the 20th century. Something about the soothing sound of his voice, and the talent as an actor as well.

Not to denigrate the great Frank Sinatra here, but I never "got" him, either. He was before my time, and I'm in my mid-fifties.

I went to WalMart to buy a Sinatra cd for a gift and the employees didn’t even know who he was.
Smalltown NC. They didn;t have any of his cds.
