"Leader Of The Band" - Dan Fogelberg/ Mike Sinatra Rendition

[@dixonnegron1083]

Anyone giving this thumbs down definitely doesn’t know what real music and real singing is all about. This is just superb. Makes me proud of our music from our generation!!

[@songmansinatra120]

thanks very much Dixon!

[@jonathandelacruz8581]

the quality of the voice has a certain blend from a known singer then, and now it creates a new substance of beauty and art. unexplainable. Two thumbs up...super wow..

Just came across this video and I was struck by how beautifully you did this song, one of my favorites. It speaks to me, as it must to many others, on so many levels. I don't believe I have heard anyone but Dan Fogelberg do such a nice job with this touching song. Well done.

If I missed this Mike then I apologize, because it's just a great performance of one of my favorite songs. My Father is a Tenor and sang on TV for many years, and is still singing at 86. I guess that's why this song always gets me, and you were awesome my friend.

Love this one. Dan's heart really went into the beautiful composition of this song, and you do it very well...

[@folkmusicgirl]

Love the music of Dan Fogelberg...I get notices of various tributes for Dan, with a big one coming up in Peoria, Illinois on Sept. 28th & 29th, 2012 with a big line up for artists to pay tribute to Dan. Wish I lived near Illinois to attend.. Mike, you have done this song great justice - a very nice cover! Got to see him once in concert at the Greek Theater in Los Angeles back in the late 1990's I believe it was.

[@arifmahya9971]

Very well done, Mike! this song went smooth on your arrangement and taste of music. Thanks for bringing it up to us!

Really sorry to hear about your father. I heard he had a son so I googled you. I was very glad to find your page. These are all my favorite songs!! You remind me so much of Jim Croce in looks as well as song. Amazing voice. These songs had real meaning. Your originals are a welcome change to what is being written today.

[@songmansinatra120]

+Tameko Wood thanks very much! my dad passed away 2 years ago. but thank you...i am not related to the famous sinatra's.......

[@songmansinatra120]

thanks very much!

[@musicmandon1]

I love Dan Fogelberg's music, and always wished I had the vocal range to do it. This is masterfully done. Have you ever done "Run for the Roses?" That was my fave Fogelberg song, even above "Same Auld Lang Syne," which I thought was too depressing.
