Author's Notes: This poem, "Frank Sinatra You're The One," is one that I've wanted to write for some time. It is similar to an earlier biographical narrative on the world famous dancer, Fred Astaire, that I posted with PoetrySoup on 2 September this year. Like Fred Astaire, Frank Sinatra is another one of those twentieth-century icons in the entertainment industry who attained international celebrity status and became a legend of epic status in the music industry. I decided to write this poem as both a dedication and tribute to this great American singer and international entertainer. Although no longer with us, Frank Sinatra like other great musical performers who have pasted on before, will always have a link to the present through the passion, quality and timelessness of his songs and melodies. I hope that you find this write of interest. Frank Sinatra -- You're The One!! (Gary Bateman - November 10, 2014) (Biographical Narrative poetic format)

Frank Sinatra’s name still has instant recognition even today.
He was perhaps the greatest singer of the twentieth century
And possessed those famous “Blue Eyes” and that trademark
Voice which thrilled and fascinated audiences worldwide.
For most people his music was very special and moved their
Spirits along a unique and subtle path that only Sinatra could
Create and hold with his voice—mesmerizing them and
Charming them every step of the way.
Entertaining and enchanting the audiences in America and
Abroad catapulted Frank Sinatra to a special iconic status as
A world-renowned singer, entertainer, and Hollywood actor.
Yet, singing became his common thread and link over decades
And generations to most willing audiences who hungered for
The tenor and pitch of his voice and his fabulous songs with
Most memorable lyrics, and haunting and evocative melodies.
Some legendary songs reflecting his status and long reach with
Audiences worldwide include: (My Way) (New York, New York)
(Strangers in the Night) (I Get a Kick Out of You) (That’s Life)
(I’ve Got You Under My Skin) (Summer Wind). All these songs
And many others were trademark, vintage Sinatra and brought
Audiences to their feet while he serenaded and captivated them
Like a Pied Piper, bringing each listener momentarily along with
Him as an invited guest into his very own special vocal dimension.
Frank Sinatra was part of the Greatest Generation along with other
Famous American entertainers who packed audiences and dazzled
Them with music and dancing, and created an aura of legendary
Perfection seldom seen in today’s twenty-first-century world.
Frank Sinatra—You’re The One!!
