Over the past 50 years and especially after his
death in 1998, many famous artists have expressed
their appreciation for what Frank Sinatra added
to rock and roll.

Bono at the 1994 Grammys spoke about Sinatras
impact on rock music

• Rock and Roll people love Frank Sinatra because
  Frank Sinatras got what we want-- swagger and
  attitude. Rock and Roll plays at being tough, but
  this guy, well hes the boss. The boss of bosses

Sinatras bad boy attitude in his songs has
opened up the gates for future musicians to
display the same badness in their lyrics.

Sinatra had a voice filled with bad attitude,
life, beauty, excitement, a nasty sense of
freedom, sex and a sad knowledge of the ways of
the world -Bruce Springsteen
Hes one of the few singers that sing without a
mask- Bob Dylan

Sinatra has always been everyones secret
indulgence. Although controversial, his music
would be a staple in every home.

• When I was a teenager, it was a rebellion
  against rock and roll to listen to Frank Sinatra.
  So when I went through my parents record
  collection thats what I pulled out

Hes a bad-ass singer - Jonathon Davis (Korn)

90s Rock Artists have made tribute albums to
Frank Sinatra

• Robbie Williams made this album Swing When
  Youre Running as a tribute to Frank Sinatra. In
  the inside of the album there are numerous
  pictures of Williams wearing a black suit with a
  white shirt and a loosened tie a Sinatra
  trademark. He also recorded in the same studio
  Sinatra recorded in.

• Rod Stewart also produced a tribute album for
  Sinatra in 2000. He is also wearing Sinatras
  uniform. The album reached number four on the
  Billboard 200.

Many young artists have tried to emulate
Sinatras career and realized what kind of
tremendous person he was.

• Harry Connick was a recent artist who composed
  Sinatra style music. He wrote in the New York
  Times.
• I believe Sinatra to be the greatest male singer
  of American popular music. He swings like no one
  else. He knows where to put the words. He can
  take liberties he never gets lost
