I mean I guess his voice was alright but he didn't even really sing, he sounds more like he was just... talking in tune. Also you can tell he's an rear end in a top hat just looking at him, though I guess that's better than being some secret undercover rear end in a top hat.

Willie Moretti was Sinatra's godfather and the notorious underboss of the Mafia, and he helped Sinatra in exchange for kickbacks and was reported to have intervened in releasing Sinatra from his contract with Tommy Dorsey. Sinatra was present at the Mafia Havana Conference in 1946, and the press learned of his being there with Lucky Luciano. One newspaper published the headline "Shame, Sinatra". He was reported to be a good friend of mobster Sam Giancana, and the two men were seen playing golf together. Sinatra "adored" gangster Bugsy Siegel, and boasted to friends about him and how many people Siegel had killed. Sinatra and mobster Joseph Fischetti were good friends from 1938 onward, and acted like "Sicilian brothers". Sinatra and his manager Hank Sanicola were financial partners with gangster Mickey Cohen. Sinatra bought a 50% share in the Cal Neva Lodge & Casino. His gambling license was temporarily stripped by the Nevada Gaming Control Board in 1963 after Giancana was spotted on the premises. Due to ongoing pressure from the FBI and Nevada Gaming Commission on mobster control of casinos, Sinatra agreed to give up his share. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frank_Sinatra#Alleged_organized-crime_links_and_Cal_Neva_Lodge

He was the master of disguise so you had to pay respect if you was ever in one of his joints. Of he course he could be anyone so people had to pay respect to everyone. It ended the mob violence in Vegas to this day.

There were a lot of stories about how Frank Sinatra had this small monkey that he would have do tricks during parties, but he would mercilessly beat the monkey into compliance

The last night the monkey was alive, they were throwing darts at it, and one pinned it to the wall. It broke its ribcage and pierced its heart, killing it instantly, but somehow, on its face was an expression so tortured that you would have sworn it had taken long, agonizing hours for it to pass on.

As a goof he and Dean Martin for fun used to stash a rising starlet in their famous wine cellar. Shed stay there for months until completly dessicated. They'd grind her up and convince people at parties they were doing real drugs with big stars! Anything leftover they bagged up and sold on the street for a little pocket money.

Everybody respects his unparalleled ability to pretend that Ronin Farrow isn't his kid and tricking Woody Allen into raising him.

You're talking about the "crooner" style of singing, for which Sinatra is the most famous (and one of the best) at. But in general yeah, agreed, he's overrated.

Dean Martin was the most talented and best singer out of “the rat pack,” IMO. But I like the singing sword gag in Who Framed Roger Rabbit  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6u8wBfDtZkE

My favorite Frank Sinatra story is that by the 1960s, he'd built up this reputation as a power player in the entertainment world, buddying up to presidents and mob bosses alike, with a hair-trigger temper that would make him go off violently at the slightest insult or provocation. So when he went to see insult comic Don Rickles perform in Vegas, and Rickles spotted him in the crowd, he immediately said "Hey Frank, make yourself at home! Hit somebody!"

According to Kitty Kelly, his mom was an early proponent of womens' reproductive rights who went so far as to run a back-alley clinic that was extremely popular in Hoboken so, you know, she's the real hero of the story because without her abortion money she could have never jumpstarted his career.

If you listen to the famous New York New York recording, you can hear him flub the last few lines of the song because he forgot the lyrics. They kept it in anyway because it sounded fine. Oh and Nancy Regan had an affair with him in the Whitehouse

He pushed back against anti-Black bullshit going back to the 40s, including punching racists and threatening to ruin businesses and refuse to perform if the venue owners denied his black peers and fans entry or tried to segregate them. Apparently he’s considered responsible for desegregating casinos in Nevada, too.
