Brett Eldredge, even though he's known for Country music, has done standards often. The rat they were talking about in SING was played by Seth MacFarlane. He's done albums of Sinatra type songs.

@@cablebrain9691 Generally I think those who think it "his best" just are really unfamiliar with his work. But I won't insist at all -- it is ultimately subjective. Let's consider, he didn't write it of course, so... is this a song that challenges his interpretive ability? Is there any subtlety at all to it? Is it on its own a profound or well-observed thing? Is there something particularly special about the melody, or some other aspect of the composition? It's no diss at all to Sinatra that I think this song is pretty much awful. And even if you disagree, even if you appreciate it or love it... here's my input: Listen to all of "Songs for Swinging' Lovers"; listen to all of "In the Wee Small Hours"; listen to all of "Sings for Only the Lonely". That's just the classic set of concept records, there are far more albums. But start with those three. Find one song that isn't miles and miles ahead of "My Way". My opinion is that it can't be done. Again, I'm fine with those who disagree, but I doubt most of those people are even familiar with the basics.

It doesn't really matter what you consider to be your favourite type of music or even favourite artist if you have one. What is most important is that you are willing to listen to and appreciate true quality. The pair of you have opened yourselves up to these experiences, and I am personally happy that you are getting to enrich your very souls by doing so. You already seemed to be beautiful people, but a little enrichment never hurt anybody. ❤️

The "Rat" was the crooner in the movie in deference to the group that ran around together called "The Rat Pack". Frank, Dean Martin, Sammy Davis, and Joey Bishop. Bishop was a comedian. Frank, Dean, and Sammy are all worth hearing and reacting to.

[@shilohauraable]

One of my all time favorite comedy movies is a western with Dean Martin & Joey Bishop called "Texas Across the River"! It's totally non-PC as Joey was DEFINITELY not Native American. 🤣 But his adlibs while speaking in Indian were hilarious.

You guys need to react to crooner Tony Bennett “I left my heart in San Francisco”. (There’s some nice piano on that one, Jay) He is still alive at 95 years old today and still singing beautifully .He had his first number one record in 1951, 70 years ago. Frank Sinatra called him the best in the business. He is currently doing a duet show with Lady Gaga. Please don't miss him.

Crooners still exist. I looked up the definition: A singer, typically male, who sings sentimental songs in a low, soft voice. John Legend is a modern crooner, though I find him boring. Al Greene was probably a crooner, and a very good one.

[@danastearns7939]

Frank was The Singer whom when recording a song it was done in one take. That is all he needed. Much like Karen Carpenter, whom by the way, Frank said she was the only female singer he would pay to see in concert. Anyway, he swam and swam and swam to practice breath control and lung capacity. His style of singing, well, smooth. Tone and voice control with excellent pitch and timing - what else is there. More: That's Life, Strangers in the Night, It was a very good year, Luck be a Lady, and so many more.

[@bosgaurus1]

Paul Anka wrote this English version with his own lyrics of a French song that came out in 1967. He said he wrote the lyrics in the way he imagined Sinatra would have said them. He wrote it specifically for Sinatra. Frank's version came out in 1969, and became not just a huge hit for him, it became his signature song that extended his career. Before this song Sinatra was voicing complaints and had said he was going to quit singing. Sinatra belonged to the WWII generation. In fact, although he had earned tips as a child in his parents tavern singing, his joined a 4some of singers who won a radio contest that gave them a 6 month contract to tour. That was in 1935 when he was 20. He sang during the Swing Era and became the favorite of the teenage Bobbysoxer girls who adored the skinny big eared scar faced crooner so much that they created over a thousand fan clubs and would bribe hotel maids just to let them touch his bed sheets. Lol! He became an even bigger hit during the war when he visited the troops and sang for them. The pope met him and wondered if he was some opera tenor or something. He also became the favorite singer of the Italian Mob boys and of the high society people. Soon he became an actor and won an Oscar. Several movies and over a 150,000,000 albums sold, and Vegas shows that lasted for years, kept him at the top. That fame and adoration lasted until his death in 1998.

[@Shrykespeare]

Next songs: "New York, New York" and "Fly Me To The Moon". I have to believe this is the oldest song you've done outside the opera and classical music you've reacted to. You should also, at some point, do "These Boots Are Made For Walkin'," a 1966 song sung by Frank's daughter Nancy. Other artists that may fit the "crooner" genre still active today are Harry Connick Jr. and Michael Buble.

I know I’m late with this one, but I just came across this video and felt like I needed to comment. Frank Sinatra was my dad’s favorite singer. We had pictures all over our house (one of which hangs in my bedroom). My dad died 25 years ago and we had several songs from Frank playing at his memorial service, this one being the last. Fast forward 8 months and I’m out with friends celebrating my birthday. I walk to the men’s room and My Way is playing over the speakers. I start crying knowing it was my dad. This song still never fails to bring a tear to my eye. I miss my dad. BTW, the group Frank hung out with in the 60’s, Dean Martin, Sammy Davis Jr, Peter Lawford, and Jory Bishop, were known as the Rat Pack. This might explain the rat singing this song in Sing.

I’m 54 an I’ve only really discovered Sinatra a couple of years ago. I started to buy jazz álbuns and I started with the crooner stuff because that old 40s feel always appealed to me because I love the Casablanca movie and so it was a natural thing to do. I was lucky to start with the early Sinatra records when he was just begining and I bought all his stuff chronologically. And I was blown away with everything. Now I’m a big Sinatra fan. And by the way I guess that Casablanca and Hunfrey Bogart are the movie equivalent to Sinatra in the music world. Both have that peculiar vibe that is always great to come back to. I’ve always been a great Tom Waits fan and he has a song that it’s like the anti Sinatra My Way song , and that one also brought me to the real Sinatra.
