03 Feb 08 - 12:18 PM (#2252393) Subject: Folklore: Frank Sinatra - Folk Singer From: GUEST,Shimrod I like Frank Sinatra and I like Folk Music - therefore Frank Sinatra must have been a Folk Singer - stands to reason, dunnit? And 'My Way' is a great working class anthem so that makes Frank a Folk Singer as well - it's so obvious when I come to think of it. This method of identifying Folk Singers is a synch - much easier than actually thinking or anything tricky like that! |

03 Feb 08 - 03:08 PM (#2252573) Subject: RE: Frank Sinatra - Folk Singer From: Stringsinger I guess you gotta' be joking. Tony Bennett (who I like better than Sinatra) called his songs folk songs. But this is pre-empting a world of material that is more accessible, culturally representative and survives through many years. Sinatra is a great artist but to call him a folksinger means that the average person can do a Sinatra song on guitar or even accapella. Doesn't make sense. Let's see any folksinger on Mudcat rip off a rendition of most any Cole Porter song with any conviction or aplomb. Frank |

03 Feb 08 - 05:38 PM (#2252694) Subject: RE: Frank Sinatra - Folk Singer From: GUEST,Nerd Well, many below-average people can do "My Way" a cappella, which is why Dave Barry calls it "the national anthem of drunken untalented businessmen in Karaoke bars." |
