The same classification questions surrounding Mercury also pertain to Sinatra. Sinatra was a crooner — and one with an unbelievable velvety sound. His music came at an early time period when mainstream pop was non-existent. Essentially, Sinatra’s ability to build a story through his clever, rhythmic lyrics helped set the stage for the infancy of pop. Duly, Sinatra’s version of pop music was accompanied with a number of instruments used today (though previously in more muted terms). Sinatra is beyond iconic, and still has a strong base of supporters to this day.
