Ron… I think you're absolutely right… Sinatra was the communicator. Love 'singing like a robot should be left to the robots"… indeed!!

As usual your blog reveals a very interesting, not always evident truth! Communication when speaking and singing requires at least momentary forethought before the vocal emission. There are many examples of singers with beautiful voices who could not communicate. One that comes to mind was Vic Damone, who had a silky voice, that at least in my opinion, became very boring after a few songs. Sinatra is the opposite. He sang every word with the clear intention of communicating an EXPERIENCED TRUTH. You can listen to Sinatra over his extremely long career and notice the loss of clarity in his voice, (in the later years), but the communication is always there. In fact, Frank Sinatra often criticized Andy Williams for not using his extraordinary instrument to communicate.

Now that I sing mainly in church, I have to temper my Italian emotions when singing religious music. However, when the meaning of the words call for a variance in volume, sustaining a note, a crescendo, I can’t always help myself! Singing like a robot should be left to the robots.
