SINATRA, FRANK - The Jazz Crooner (Sealed) (2CD)

Because of his characteristic voice, everyone called the singer, actor and entertainer Frank Sinatra (1915-98) only The Voice. This made him the epitome of the crooner. Crooning describes a vocal style developed in the 1920s with the development of the microphone. This is characterized by an intimate, warm and sometimes strongly sexually connotated voice. Sinatra's musical career began in the swing era as a singer in the orchestras of Harry James and Tommy Dorsey. His concert and radio appearances with Dorsey quickly made Sinatra famous nationwide and strengthened his plans for a solo career. The consistent use of radio in the forties was a cornerstone of Sinatra's popularity. He became the musical idol of the World War II generation. Especially teenage girls liked "Frankie Boy". Sinatra's albums sold over 150 million copies. Sinatra's "My Way", "Strangers In The Night" and "New York, New York" have earned it world fame
