Frank Sinatra as a symbol of late 50's and early 60's: why his songs didn't widely mention?

[GNTLGNT]

...Frank epitomized "cool" and still does.....he was a man's man and women were attracted to his "style"....he wasn't that great of a vocalist, but he entertained.....wasn't a half bad actor either...and of the Rat Pack?....Sammy was a hell of a multi-talented dude and Deano was probably the most accomplished vocalist....

Never been a big Frankie fan, Pretty much my parents music.
I DO appreciate the time he took to "get the groove" just right.
Also I do not think he wrote the songs he sang(which is a biggie for me)
So basically he was an instrument that songwriters used to get their music sold.

A lot of 'artists' will change a word or two in a song that someone else has written just so they can get the credit for 'writing' a song. Usually you can tell if the 'artist's' name doesn't come first in the song credits.......

There's a Sinatra song audible in the 11.22.63 miniseries, episode 1. A most appropriate song to the occasion.

Welcome. I think it's because Mr. King doesn't like lasagna, baked or otherwise. (I like Frank Sinatra's "Chicago" and "Strangers in the Night.")
