Sinatra Stood Alone (1915 - 1998)
The Impeccable taste innate musicianship and unique communicative
gifts of Sinatra placed him in a different class from that of his
peers.
From the fifties onwards he raised the standards in recording
studios through the excellence of the Musicians and arranger with
whom he worked- Nelson Riddle, Billy May, Gordon Jenkins, Don Costa,
Count Basie and other produced accompaniment of great distinction.
no other artiste, with the probable exception of Ella Fitzgerald, so
defined through the sheer volume of his recorded work, the musical
culture from which he came, nowadays referred to as the "Great
American Song Book".
Musicologist's of the future who research this period will find
great value in the musical legacy's bequeathed by both these
artistes. They survive as un-imperishable monuments to the great
songwriters and composers who created the original material as will
their own irreplaceable talents that will shine forever.
