So I’m listening to Frank Sinatra, and I do not get the hype. He’s not awful, not at all but he’s….average compared to his colleagues and his singing feels undersold. Am I listening to the wrong songs? Nothing really astounding or revolutionary. Seth Macfarlane, the family guy guy, based his professional singing career off of Sinatra and even got his old singing teacher to help him apparently, but Macfarlane sounds way better.
So do Frank’s constitutes. Sammy Davis jr., Vic Damone, Dean Martin, Johnny Mathis, Jack Jones, hell, Andy Williams feels like what I expected Sinatra to be.
Am I tone deaf? Am I actually listening to the wrong songs? Or is Frank’s fame about something that isn’t just music?
