While at work, I listen to a Chicago jazz station streamed over the internet and will hear Sinatra a few times a week and I heard a Sammy Davis, Jr. song just today. Been awhile since I heard Dean Martin. I grew up listening to the Stones, Floyd, Led Zep, etc. but Frank and the guys either had their own variety shows on TV or were guests so I have good memories of their songs.
A habit I've developed is to search a song by title on iTunes and compare the many artists who have covered a song over the years. Often, Frank will have one of the best versions. Another guy that keeps rising to the top is Ray Charles. Ray had his fair share of duds covering other people's songs but when he had the right song, he was good.
