Today a strange event. I was listening to Sirius in the car, Sinatra station 71...I thought it sounded like Sammy Davis, and I looked at the title in my car radio, surprised to see it was Sinatra with Tommy Dorsey, I forgot the song, but at the end he stretched to hit a high note....just listen to Sinatra fitting himself to the rhythm of Tommy Dorsey.. it is the Tommy Dorsey beat, sound etc...and he is fitting his voice to that...then listen to the Nelson Riddle years...everything changes...I think Frank is the best example of finding your own voice. He was great with Dorsey, but with Nelson Riddle, I don't think anyone can argue, it was RIGHT!
