I was surprised how dry his vocal was. And the uncompressed nature of the vocal really allows for the timbre of his voice and personal expression to shine through, even though he's not using a wide range or a falsetto. The lack of vocal acrobatics really helps the focus to be on the lyrics, which are superb.

Frank had amazing timbre. Todays pop music doesn't lend itself to the same type of crooning, but the really successful singers are the ones who learn to sing with a relaxed throat and jaw, it allows a richer timbre to translate and more frye and character. Some guys who come to mind that don't push their voice too hard and wind up with a character kids like are Rob Thomas, Chris Martin of Coldplay, Adele, George Michael, Gregory Porter to cover a gamut.

hey, thanks for that comment.
I think you're right on the mark.
I've read about singers that had a limited range.
but its what they do with what they have.
from my personal experience as a super avid amateur (with a limited range),
what you wrote rings very true.
and for me, it really cannot be overstated regarding the importance of two things:
- its a great song, with pretty melody, and hooks and rhythm
- inspiration. an inspired performance in which the singer really gets their heart and soul and emotional feeling out.....well, there's a level of magic which occurs, in which time just sort of disappears.
