December 12, 1915: Francis Albert Sinatra is born. The Voice. The Chairman Of The Board. Ol' Blue Eyes. King Francis Albert The First. Frankie.
Quite simply, the greatest singer of the 20th century. I've heard some people try to explain it by pointing to his "phrasing," but that's not it. He just had the best damn voice, and knew how to use it.
Damn fine actor and dancer, too. Hell, he could keep up with Gene Kelly, the greatest dancer of the 20th century.
Go to Songerize.com and type in "frank sinatra" and enjoy some tunes, and wish Frankie a happy birthday.
And enjoy some YouTube goodness and reflect on Frank's style.
