Frank Sinatra taught me how to do him. It took me seven years to master him. He would tell me, tap your foot, Rich, and don't forget to grasp your sleeve.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I worked on a film short with Frank Sinatra when I was a kid.
To sing with Frank Sinatra in any capacity at all is overwhelming.
I learned a lot about what I do with my craft, how I present my music. A lot of things about him were very much an influence on me and everybody else. Once you get in that fold and you're around it, you get to experience something that I don't think we'll ever see again. There will never be anybody like Frank Sinatra. Ever.
I wish Frank Sinatra would just shut up and sing.
I actually started singing those songs six or seven years ago, when I was an opening act for Frank Sinatra.
Sinatra was the biggest influence on my life, my singing career. And rightly so. I mean he was the best singer ever.
I went with a friend to see Frank Sinatra in Las Vegas, in the last year that he was performing. He wasn't necessarily on top form, but the way he could connect with an audience and the way he communicated through the lyrics was something I hadn't ever really seen before.
If someone had told me when I was a kid I'd get an ovation from Frank Sinatra! One time, I did a song called 'I Am A Singer', but I rewrote the words for Frank. I was in tears and, when he got up, so was he.
When I was very, very young, I decided that I was gonna catalogue my times because that's what other people who I admired did. That's what Bob Dylan did, that's what Frank Sinatra did, Hank Williams did, in very different ways.
Sinatra was pretty astute - he used the best songwriters around, he used all the resources, he covered every song from the era basically.
