My wife insists on putting on the Sinatra XM channel all the time. Anyone who thinks Frank didn't sing a bad song hasn't listened to this station. He has a million bad songs. Or a million songs he ruined with schtick. Dino is as genuine as it comes.

I've never really understood the fascination with Sinatra, either, and I'm totally willing to listen to that style.
Two other way-back guys who are underappreciated, in my mind, are Louis Prima and Little Richard. I imagine my grandparents, he in his bowtie and she in her poodle skirt, doing the Charleston, then along comes Little Richard?? I'd give anything to see him perform in the late 50's. And Louis Prima is the first guy I'd call "cool."
