Next, is the classic sound that is Sinatra. Frank Sinatra was the first modern pop superstar. Following his idol Bing Crosby, who had pioneered the use of the microphone, Sinatra transformed popular singing by infusing lyrics with a personal, intimate point of view that conveyed a steady current of energy. Almost singlehandedly, he helped lead a revival of vocalized swing music that took American pop to a new level of musical sophistication. In the 1950's he recorded with Capitol Records which, for many, are his best and were also instrumental in establishing a canon of American pop song culture. After all, he conquered Hollywood, lit up Vegas and, on vinyl, delivered the finest cuts of his career.

Frank Sinatra is dreamy, and if you want to check out his dance moves watch him in "on the town" with Gene Kelley. What a pair!
