One of my favorite artists is Frank Sinatra because he was an iconic American singer and had a unique musical sound.
i agree. ray charles is another artist with his own style.
Frank Sinatra as a little before Ray Charles' time. He released his first album in 1946.
thats awhile back. how old was he when he started singing?
His musical legacy lasted from 1935 until 1995 so he likely started singing from a very young age.
thats amazing. are there any similar artists to him?
Elvis Presley began his musical career in 1954 and had a similar crooning in his voice.
elvis was an amazing singer. hes one the most iconic people ive ever heard of. anyone else?
Hound Dog (song)
"Hound Dog" is a twelve-bar blues song written by Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller. Recorded originally by Willie Mae "Big Mama" Thornton on August 13, 1952, in Los Angeles and released by Peacock Records in late February 1953, "Hound Dog" was Thornton's only hit record, selling over 500,000 copies, spending 14 weeks in the R&B charts, including seven weeks at number one. Thornton's recording of "Hound Dog" is listed as one of the Rock
a Millionaire" and deals with the show and his life. In 2011, upon leaving "Live!", Philbin released a memoir titled "How I Got This Way".
As a singer, Philbin can best be described as a crooner in the style of his favorite singers: Dean Martin, Perry Como, and Frank Sinatra. He tested the musical waters with his 1968 pop vocal release, "It's Time For Regis!" After receiving poor reviews, Philbin was reluctant to record another studio album,
