Not the best note singer in the world but that wasn't his forte, it was his phrasing.
Loved his stuff with Billy May
Definitely hung around with the mob

I was at a Frank Sinatra show here in Las Vegas a few weeks ago.
It's performed on the same site as the Copa Room at The Sands, the guy taking of Frank studied him for 3 years before putting this run on.
The band is also made up of some of Frank's original band from his run in Vegas.
It was a superb show, took my Mrs for our anniversary.

Nice one, hope you enjoyed it?
Is the Sands still there, that was his favourite venue wasn't it?

I reckon Matt Monro was a far better singer. Great voice,shame he supported the gooners.

What stands on the site of the Sands now is the Palazzo but the theater there is in the exact spot of the Copa Room.
There were people dressed up in Tuxs for it, fucking great night.

I sang in a swing music duo for a couple of years, Sinatra's stuff was a bugger to master, his timing was unique.

Those that say he didn't have a particularly good singing voice should listen to this
