Whilst appreciating that Gaby obviously is allergic to Ol Blue Eyes, It is a fact that Gord recorded fror Sinatra's Reprise Label and I am sure that I have heard Gord say in an interview that he did once meet Frank at the office and I believe hoped that Sinatra would record one of his songs. I do believe IYCRMM was mentioned as the song Gord hoped Frank would cover but that Frank decided he couldn't do justice to the song.(or am I dreaming??). Anyway what song if any of Gord's does the panel consider deserved a Sinatra cover?? To start the ball rolling I have always thought that Gord's superlative phrasing and performance on "That some Old Obsession" was equal to a good Sinatra rendering. So that great song gets my vote. Ok Gaby you can wake up now!!

John,
I guess we'll have to continue this offline, we don't want to start a riot, LOL. Oh well how about just one ? The point is moot since Frank no longer records but I wouldn't mind hearing him try River Of Light. I think the material from the last four or five albums would've been a better fit than the earlier stuff.
