Sinatra pandering?

all good points, but i love it all... the music that is..

and didn't Muddy Waters say that jazz and the blues had a baby and they called it rock and roll??

for what its worth this from wikipedia:

Frank Sinatra was particularly impressed with "Something;" calling it "the greatest love song ever written," he sang it hundreds of times at various concerts. However, he once made the comment that "Something" was his all-time favourite Lennon/McCartney song (knowing neither composed the track), and frequently introduced it as such.[24] Harrison did not appear to mind this, and instead borrowed an alteration to the lyric that Sinatra had made. Where the original song was "You stick around now it may show," Sinatra sang "You stick around, Jack, she might show." This change was adopted by Harrison, who used the same lyrics whenever he performed "Something" as part of his touring repertoire

...and just for kicks!

Other cover versions (of Something) soon appeared, including versions from Presley (who included it in his Aloha from Hawaii TV special) !!!! LOL!
