Frank Sinatra was my dad's favorite singer. My dad would go around the house singing one of Frank's songs. When my dad ended up with dementia and had to be put in a nursing home it would get hard to talk with dad - so I would find Frank Sinatra song and play it & dad and I would sing ( communicate) together.

His D I C T I O N. was impeccable "in other words " clear and DISTINCT ; NO slurring , prouNOUNcing EVERY syllable clearly using his own STYLE for emphasis ; a MAN'S man yet all the while being open , vulnerable and R O M A N T I C !!!!!!!! Directing&Redirecting energy.FRANK SINATRA dialogued with his audience especially W O M E N. He had them IN THE PALM OF HIS HAND !!!!!!!!!!!

A love that while Sinatra was clearly a baritone, his voice didn’t sound “dark”. He always sounded like he was enjoying to sing.

That depended on the song, my friend. He would change the tone of his voice to reflect the meaning of this song. He would go from a snappy, bright charismatic, rich vocalist for happier songs, to a classical singer for romantic or emotionally moving songs, to dark and sad themes .

When I was a kid, I used to think Sinatra kind of talked instead of sung. As I've got older, I really appreciate the silky smoothness and the loudness of his voice.

It's interesting to note, that when Frank was younger, his style was based heavily on Bing Crosby. This is interesting for a couple of reasons. Bing crosby was the first guy to get out infront of the band and sing close to the mic. Before that, the voice was just another instrument with a part written out. Bing made it personal, romantic, colloquial. Frank when he was younger he had a pretty high voice, so his singing style was more about sounding pretty. As his voice dropped, just like Bing's did and it became more about personality. The voice was not longer just a part, it was the main focus. It's funny thinking on terms of us being young, bing was around until 77, frank about twenty years later... modern singing has a short lineage. The other part that's interesting was this conversational style, wasnt reliant upon dynamic range, it was about selling the song and not a pretty melody.

The Voice, The coolest cat that ever walked the earth. One of a fell that puts you into the song and grabs your heart. His timing was so amazing that he could put the groove wherever he wanted. Untouchable till this day. Basically a 1 take wonder. Legend says that he had to do "Thats life "3 times and he was pissed! Produced kept the take number 3.

I’m Jeff’s wife commenting on Frank Sinatra... I was 18 years old and saw him live in the Saber room Chicago... A-mazing... I was with my mother who was about everything Frank ( blue eyes)... I tried to sneak up to his room during his break to get his autograph, totally not planned. I was coming back from ladies room and saw he and his body guards heading up the stairs, so I thought “ what could it hurt” 😂🤣😱 I went to top of stairs and towards the room I him enter and BAM, this HUGE guard went nuts asking me what the *#** I was doing up there. Said I wanted an autograph for my mom. He immediately escorted me down the stairs with a warning to never do that again, as I could be shot😱. Hey, I was a cocky 18 year old from Chicago who wanted a harmless autograph of a lifetime.... so I asked the bodyguard to get it for me and I would wait at bottom of the stairs.... 😇.

Frank’s singing voice was the same as his speaking voice. That’s why it was so effortlessly for him. He had that deep chest voice. He didn’t tried to do some crazy falsetto out of his range just for show. He did everything right. Just perfection. PS: please, do some Elvis gospel stuff in the 72-up era. It should be cool.

Frank Sinatra took several lessons from voice coach John Quinlan when he was just starting out, and that led to a collaboration with Quinlan on a beginner guide book for aspiring singers titled “Tips on Popular Singing” which was published in 1941. Frank Sinatra also studied voice with expert in the physiology of vocal sound projection Judy Davis and consulted her for problems in the 1950s and again in the 1970s. Gregory Peck once asked Frank Sinatra to recommend a good voice teacher for his son Anthony-Sinatra sent him to see Seth Riggs. Frank Sinatra also suggested to Roger Moore that he send his son Geoffrey to study with Seth Riggs.

Oh this special singing style of Frank Sinatra is undeniably Romantic . His voice is filling the room even without shouting, so relaxed, so jazzy.. there s Love Me Tender which he sings with Young Elvis omg they are beautiful together with girls screaming all the time 😂 Sending my Love to Both of them and Thank you Dear Ken Templin , I Love your Isolated Vocals Series 💕

There is some amazing aspect about Frank's phrasing. In phrases like "Fly Me!" and "Let Me Play!" he is very confident and in the end of a phrase he is so gentle and romantic. Frank proposes, even demands: Flah-yy me! Llllet me play! Then he kinda politely explains where he wants to be flown and where he wants to play.

Ken, I really appreciate when you play with effects and show how they change things. As I wrap up my own album, you've really helped and taught me a lot in an area that is extremely difficult to learn about without a studio of your own to play with.

Thanks Ken! Fantastic. Frank could sing right on the beat and still swing like crazy...playing with Basie helps, of course. Nelson Riddle is often the conductor. With Basie, it was probably Quincy Jones, who also wrote these arrangements for Basie and Frank. Frank rarely did more than a few takes. Frank learned to breathe from Tommy Dorsey (trombone). The phrasing is deeply influenced by jazz players and singers (e.g. Frank loves Billie Holiday). This was recorded in the early 60s, Frank helped open up Vegas to black performers. Frank often recorded before an audience in the studio - he needed the energy of the audience and he needed the audience for the "conversation" that you mention Ken... That ending has Count Basie setting up Frank with a classic Count ending (Frank could not, as far as I know, read music...but he could listen). Nice effect in the re-edit - it gives it an enhanced "Jupiter and Mars" kind of groove. Thanks too for letting us hear more clearly the great Freddie Green on guitar... How about an analysis of Tony Bennett singing "If I Ruled the World" - and then another Jersey cat, Bruce Springsteen!

There was a lot of freedom in his singing and phrasing. He was behind the beat purposely with his hesitation and pronunciation. That “drag” in the singing was the difference to me. It was cool. It was swinging. To me, he was almost a rock singer. As much as Elvis. Especially as he hit his early 40s and 50s. He was loose with extraordinary tone and thickness like he was double tracked. The one and only Frank Sinatra.
