Just wanted to know what people's opinions were. I'm not going to include Frank just because he'd probably blow everyone else away.

Feel free to post anyone I forgot.

I wasn't very exposed to his music until my friend got the 4-disc Sammy Davis Jr Best Of collection called "Yes I Can!" It really opened my eyes to how talented he was. He had to be consistently equal if not better than Sinatra and Dean because he was black. If you have any interest I definitely recommend picking that up. It will shed a new light on his work.

And I also voted for Bing, the ORIGINAL crooner. Ba ba ba bumm....

I always heard his music as a kid. I like them all though, and yea Crosby was a crooner as well, but I'll still go with Dino. TIS "Mankind must put an end to war before war puts an end to mankind.
