Answer 2

I quote Stephen Holden, who wrote for the 1983 Rolling Stone Record Guide, that :
'Frank Sinatra's voice is pop music history. Like Presley and Dylan — the only other white male American singers since 1940 whose popularity, influence, and mythic force have been comparable — Sinatra will last indefinitely. He virtually invented modern pop song phrasing.'
Francis Albert Sinatra was one of the first 'pop' singers - in the same genre as Crosby, and Torme !
