		<description>Don&#039;t know why Ding was so incredibly negative about this talented and wonderful singer.  I am a huge Sinatra buff.  The fact that he can nail a song in one take shows his impressive ability to get it right the first time unlike current musicians who have mulitple takes and synthesizers used on their voice to get it right.  And any one who listens to his music can testify that he did get it right the first time.  His voice is classic.</description>

		<description>Singing/playing behind the beat is an essential technique in jazz. Sinatra learned it from listening to Billie Holliday, Dorsey and others!</description>

		<description>Moving around the beat suggests stylistic effects. Singing behind the beat reeks of incompetence. 

&quot;Nailing songs on the first take&quot; makes one question who defined &quot;nailing&quot; - especially when you add that he was famous for doing one take on a scene, hating to do multiple takes. Maybe he was just lazy.

Gee, I thought I *liked* his music, but by the time I got to the last item, I wondered if he was unfairly panned by critics - or if the pans were justified. Is Duets an especially easy way to get acquainted because half the singing was done by someone competent?

Now, in reading my comments, you should note that this is a first draft, because I&#039;m too lazy to edit my own work, that I am friends with idiots and warmongers, and that I&#039;ll punch out the lights of anyone who is critical of what I say. 

Jeeze, if I&#039;d only had a perforated eardrum, I coulda been a big time singer, too!</description>
