Thanks.

Thanks for the post...it is a great read. Sinatra will always be for me the consumate swing singer. Cool, assertive, with that certain golden something in his voice. Grew up listening to my Mom's Sinatra records..have CD's of most of the albums. Great listening music.

Excellent article. I missed it the first time. In fact, until he started commenting on the Bush campaign (and made an enduring impression on me with his wit, as seemingly the only reporter who had a clue what kind of guy Bush was) I didn't even know Mark Steyn existed.

He learned breath control ...

Listen to Frank's version of Old Man River ... now that was breath control. He sings a couple of slow bars, hits this looooonnnnnnng low note, which would kill most anybody, and then he goes and sings about 4 more bars before he finally takes a breath.

It's an astonishing feat.

The most electrical music moment in my life happened a number of years back. The place was Navy Pier in Chicago. Starting up his live performance, Frank hit the first line in "My Kind of Town" and the crowd erupted like Mt. St. Helens.

For Chicago, Frank may have been an adopted son, but they didn't love him any less than did Hoboken, N.J.

Since we are all giving our favorites, I submit that "Cycles" was one of his best.

Moody and dark, yet it has a certain optimistic air that I love.

I am happy to report that the younger generation also has discovered him.

My son did the Talent show for his High School with a pianist while he sang "You make me feel so young".

Dad was beaming!

Cheers,
