Burt Bacharach.
Andy Williams is based though. Way better than Sinatra. Better phrasing, better pitch, better arrangements.
Williams was the GOAT American pop singer imo.

better pitch? did you eat paint chips as a child?

Waaaaaay better pitch.
Sinatra ruined his voice with alcohol. It sounds nice, I guess, but unless you're tone-deaf, he doesn't always hit the notes just right. Not that he really cared.
Sinatra could never sing the theme from Love Story.

If you can't tell that he's singing off in Strangers in the Night you're a pleb.

>"surprisingly" patrician
What kind of shit do people smoke that they aren't turned onto Bacharach? There's a reason he's so revered.

>Aquarius

that's a yes

I was just about to mention Bacharach. He's great, does lots of nice things with harmonies and rhythms while still keeping it pop.

It's a good arrangement but the song should have gone to Engelbert Humperdinck or Andy Williams.
Sinatra just couldn't hold the notes. Too drunk. No range. Lazy phrasing.

Beyonce' new album is a 9.2.
The masses have long forgotten based Burt.
Gang Starr
"Suckas be like playin' themselves to have mass appeal."
It LITERALLY doesn't get more patrician than that.
