With Sinatra, however, you may discover new things about his take on a song over years of listening: that's new things plural, because you gain more than just one or two new perspectives, but several.

This happens in song after song. I think some of it has to do with comparing his versions to other versions out there. No matter what, his ability to reveal fresh dimensions to recorded music is astonishing.


I hated Frank Sinatra because everyone in my father's generation always bragged about how great a singer he was but mainly because he had the same birthday as me (December 12th) and every year on December 12th I had to listen to everyone say it was his birthday.

There have been some uniquely beautiful voices through the years. Some that stand out:

Peggy Lee - throaty, sexy

Barbra Streisand - Politics aside she was one of the best.

Gregg Allman - Definitive Rock & Roll voice

Burton Cummings - amazing range and control

Patty Loveless - one of the purest country voices ever.

Frankie Laine - Just listen to his cover of Ghost Riders in the Sky.
