I didn't notice that, boatbuilder, I didn't give it a second thought that I'd given it a second thought. ;) :D

The quote below is from The Express, boatbuilder, if Sinatra thought he was one of the best he must have been.

Frank Sinatra, the man with whom he was so often compared, said of Monro after his death: “If I had to choose three of the finest male vocalists in the singing business, Matt would be one of them. His pitch was right on the nose; his word enunciations letter perfect; his understanding of a song thorough.”

I suppose there's no such thing as a 'flip side' these days, only the oldies will remember them. :D
