He was an ok singer?
Sinatra changed the world. He was rock and roll before there was rock and roll, he was the first to bring 30,000 screaming women onto Times Square, he was the first to create his own record label, showing artists of today how to gain autonomy. He was the first pop star, he made being a pop star possible in the first place, before him singers like Crosby, Ella Fitzgerald were just performers. Sinatra defined the American songbook, he single-handedly led a revival of swing in the sixties.
Sinatra put his stamp on the world. He defined pop music, he made it into what it is today. This is the very definition of a dominating Alpha male, who left his mark on the world. Let alone that he always wanted to call the shots, was the leader of the pack. Warner Bros wanted to sign him so much they had to sign half their company away to him and make him an executive Director.
There are NO celebrities like him nowadays, he created the modern American pop stardom phenomenon. He put his stamp on the world.
An OK singer? He was the original Alpha male. Which precisely makes his failure around Ava Gardner so interesting. That he couldn't maintain frame around this one woman is the greatest failure of his life. And the only interesting thing is how this failure came about, give his obvious Alpha male status.
