Just saw a segment on Frank Sinatra on CBS Morning [View all]

and I am struck with a feeling that I have only when I hear Frank Sinatra. He makes all other singers sound mediocre.

I can't shake this nostalgia and love for that voice and his music.

I feel sorry for you if you can't hear what it is that's in that voice when he's singing - so true, so honest, so loving. I am pitifully in love with him.
