Range? What, you mean like Mariah Carey?

Give me a break.

Also with the quirky irresistible voice is Dale Bozio of Missing Persons. Most of their songs features Bozio's signature "hiccup".

I was there on May 30, 1983 to witness it firsthand.

Interesting... I knew Bozo could dance, but I didn't know he could sing.

Amen brother! I’m tired of these clowns who go through their trills and artificial modulations. They bend notes because they can’t hold a note. Some of Streisand’s stuff is absolutely insufferable.
Here’s a note bender. This is what passes for talent these days:

Frankie was said to have avoided WWll and his popularity after the war was over hit the skids and he was sarcastically called Frank Notsohotra! But he got back in the limelight after the success of the movie From Here to Eternity in the early 50s. Whether the mob kept him out the war and it has been denied I wouldn’t know but it was referred to as well in the movie The Godfathers. But inspite of all of this Sinatra was a very talented entertainer.

Sinatra is the Master. Sinatra is timeless. While the legacy of others fade in the public memory, Sinatra will be the singer of his generation that future generations will listen to.

Absolutely correct.
