Frank Sinatra was a great singer, but my favourite is Sammy Davis Jr. He had incredible versatility in his voice, often doing impressions of people. It's always going to be classic, and you'll never get bored listening.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Sinatra was pretty astute - he used the best songwriters around, he used all the resources, he covered every song from the era basically.
I kept looking to do songs that were written years ago and would live or outlive all of us, and the one thing they had in common was Sinatra.
Aretha Franklin, she's just the most amazing singer ever. But I think there are so many singers that I just loved and sang along to on the radio. I guess I just enjoy trying out different styles along the way.
I didn't even respect singers until I heard Ray Charles, Frank Sinatra and Louis Armstrong.
Sinatra had a lot of mood swings, but he was wonderful to my wife Barbara and to me. He made no bones about who he liked and who he loved, and he had this great charisma. When he walked into a room, it stopped. I've only seen that happen with Ronald Reagan.
To sing with Frank Sinatra in any capacity at all is overwhelming.
Sinatra was the biggest influence on my life, my singing career. And rightly so. I mean he was the best singer ever.
Sinatra, in my opinion, is possibly the greatest male singer of all time.
I usually listen to various kind of singers. Curtis Mayfield was my favorite. James Brown, Tina Turner, queen of soul, I started to get that musical essence from that time before I even do my first song.
I always loved Willie Nelson, but I loved the songs that Willie made famous.
