If we are going to be absolutely serious, the fairest answer would be that no one has an equivalent. (Asterisk: pairs about which I'm trying to recall the particular reason why I put them together. This list being quite a few years old, there are a few pairs about which I might not feel quite so positive now, but overall I find myself thinking pretty much the same way. I'm happy that I kept a copy of my list from back then: Some like-minded people and I tried to pair some of the famous (fe)male jazz/pop singers with (fe)male counterparts. "Nobody can be compared to FS, especially not a woman."-Nancy Sinatraīeing a fan of jazz & pop vocals, a few years ago I had fun with a broader version of this thread's question. Then there is this.which I have to agree with. but I am not sure she ever did a completey strictly ballad album.Īnd though the question isnt exactly "Is there a female singer that equals Frank Sinatra", the singer would still have to meet that requirement even if a female ballad album existed that was as good as Wee Small or Only The Lonely. One that may be overlooked and comes close in nuance and range. Same can be said for most of the singers mentioned in this thread. But, really she has nowhere close the technical abilities of a Frank Sinatra. I dont believe the equivalent exists and certainly not any who made strictly a thematic ballad album. Thats kind of why he was called "the Voice", right?
And this isnt just picking on the female gender, its found in the best male singers also. Another has the range but her phrasing just doesnt have the emotional reach that he had. One has the ability to phrase in an incredible way but just never had the range of Mr Sinatra. Yet even they have only certain stellar qualities that can match his. A couple or more things: You have less than a handful of female vocalists that are close to Frank Sinatras abilities.
