What I've noticed about Frank is his unreal ability to swoop and dive with his voice, but then land on a dime at the right pitch. You hear a bit of this in Spot #4. A more mortal singer wavers a bit when they try something similar.

[@CrazySinging]

Like a very precise attack? Or no portamento. I think that’s totally true; he makes the pitch “appear” with precision instead of “looking for it” with his voice. I think this is really interesting (hopefully I understood you correctly) and I remember struggling with this myself and the exercises my opera teacher gave me to correct that. Sort of visualizing the pitch in your mind before you project any sound, so you attack it with precision. And Sinatra's pitch precision is outstanding! Thanks for the very interesting comment!

[@victorwilburn8588]

@@CrazySinging: Well, I don't always understand some of the subtle difference between musical terms, but I would say I'm talking more about the precision of his glissandos and similar effects, where he hits the ending pitch precisely just when he is supposed to, as opposed to, as you say "looking for it", even for a fraction of a second. IIRC, you can hear a lot of this on his "Wee Small Hours" album. It's pretty common for singers to maybe take a fraction of a second to lock into the pitch (I know our choir director has to correct us on that sort of thing fairly often), even without doing something fancy like a gliss, which just increases the degree of difficulty. So yes, I guess I'm talking about his general pitch precision, but pointing out how he maintains that even when executing difficult pitch transitions like a gliss. As a singer who sometimes struggles with pitchiness, I don't take such pitch precision for granted even when it's in a easy context, much less in the midst of more complex vocal lines.

[@PeteCannellasSound]

He also starts in the right place also. Many modern singers will scale up the steps rather than bend it as you say swoop. He is hitting two notes from Start to finish. He hits more at times to. He could slide multiple notes on a scale.

[@angnarci2210]

Sinatra had perfect pitch. That's the explaination of his sharpness, precision control, etc. Very extrremely rare musical virtue, and unlearnable, either you are born with it or not. Research if you wanto to know more about it... I do not know of any other famous singer/vocalist with perfect pitch, if you know any let me know please... Of course other people might in other professions might be born with perfect pitch and either never get fully aware of it or being in other professions are/were not interested in musical careers. So we just don't know what they would have ever achieved choosing a musical career

[@victorwilburn8588]

@@angnarci2210: Yes, I am aware of what perfect pitch is, though I was not aware Sinatra had it. It is not absolutely NECESSARY to have perfect pitch to do what I am referring to -- relative pitch will do as well -- but I'm sure it helped. Google reveals some other famous singers with perfect pitch -- Mariah Carey, Michael Jackson, Ella Fitzgerald, Elvis Presley, Whitney Houston.

[@glennkaufman7228]

Great analysis. My dad, Bernard Kaufman, played woodwinds with Frank for over 40 years. I was in the studio with them many, many times. He was a perfectionist, and recorded many of his tracks "live" in the room with the orchestra as opposed to being in an isolation booth or laying down the vocal tracks after the orchestra tracks were recorded. His phrasing was second to none, and reflected his acting talent. He could emote a lyric using his amazing vocal abilities. I listen to him every day. Thanks for doing this video.

[@jadezee6316]

of course Sinatras singing ability came before his acting talent....but the rest is correct

[@peace-now]

I looked up Bernard Kaufman. What you say is completely authentic. Your dad is described as a " virtuoso woodwind musician". Frank always praised his fellow musicians like your dad. It was a team effort.

No one like Sinatra. His tone is distinctive and one of a kind.

[@nollaeel5697]

Great analysis of his vocal range but the other side of the coin is Sinatra's phrasing of the lyric i.e. the colouring and shading he gives to the words to create a mood. Listen to his 1953 recording of "Young at Heart" and in particular how he sings that final "young" at the end of the song. Extraordinary.

[@TheSinatraCollection]

I also wanted to add and point out that when you mentioned the recording for "You Are Love" at 4:03 being extremely rare and the date not really known. From my extensive research and knowledge, many conclude the recording/air date for that to be on April 21st, 1951. I actually have the video footage to go along with that performance which is even rarer, which I will add onto this comment with the specific timestamp. So yes, this was indeed after his severe vocal hemorrhage in 1950. kzbin.info/www/bejne/eZi5fqagqNCUiac

Thank you so much!!! I’m so glad you liked the video; I know you’re a big fan of Frank so it means a lot. I wish I included Old Man River too, I read it’s considered his best vocal delivery overall. Do you know if that’s because of its interpretation or something else?

Ty, but i could pick out better examples that fit the title of this video. For example, go to his rendition of "We'll Be Together Again". The order of notes in the melody are truelly insane to learn, even harder to get close to Frank's creative precision. A few more: "Let's fall in love" starts high and sustained and pirouettes through a flawless melody. Then he rattles off the lyrics almost rapping a bit like an auctioneer with fabulous timing and next time around purposely changeing rhythmic structure to prevent redundancy...all beautifically so that you find yourself singing the catchy chorus with him and meaning every word. YOU LIVE THAT SONG WITH HIM, whatever song he sings! Great power notes to be found in "I Guess I'll Hang Me Tears Out To Dry" and "This Love Of Mine". He is also the master of vibrato, check out "In The Wee Small Hours Of The Morning" and especially "My Funny Valentine." Yes , we could do this for days.....
