 TIME 100: Frank Sinatra
"George Steinbrenner with a voice" was the epithet coined by a colleague of mine — born in the baby boom's dead center, it should be noted — who objects to the bad-hair Republican bluster of Sinatra's later years, his belting out of all those anthems of middle-aged self-assertion.

 Frank Sinatra - The Voice Of Frank Sinatra - Review - Uncut.co.uk
Sinatra had been doing his lovelorn, vulnerable, sexy thing to the delight of the US' young female population for a few years by 1946, but it was here that everyone else started admitting the kid (he was 30) could sing.
The Axel Stordahl arrangements—with string quartet and discreet rhythm section—may not be quite as '40s-bound as his fuller work of the period, and Frank is a shade or two groovier than on his bel canto sides, but compared to what he would achieve in the '50s, this is juvenilia from Squaresville.
Still, your Connicks could do worse than to listen again to this era of The Voice to hear what that ring-a-ding Sinatra they're so in thrall to was built on.
