 | A unique live music boutique. Organic, eclectic spontaneity for sophisticated clients and their gala or intimate gatherings..... Judy’s Wedding & Event Journal |
Sinatra Rat Pack Wedding SingerSomeone I know once hired a “Sinatra Singer” to perform “live music” at his event.
“The guy was terrible,” he said.
Evidently, the fellow was singing with tracks.
Live music is a funny thing. It’s supposed to be LIVE.
Which totally does not mean having a pre-recorded music bed playing while the so-called “band” is playing along with it. Some of these pre-recorded tracks include vocal enhancement, as well — and the “voices” onstage sing right over them.!
Not everybody knows the difference, either.
But live music is not supposed to be karaoke - or semi-karaoke.
As for impersonators — why substitute hamburger for caviar?
I hate to say it, but the “Sinatra singers” are NOT Sinatra.
Part of the charm of the Rat Pack was their ability to pull off spontaneity, even though many of their best bits of “shtick” were actually well-rehearsed.
Their easygoing repartee was not a copy of anyone or anything else.
There is not going to be another Rat Pack, ever.
And there is not going to be another Sinatra, either.
Do we “do” Sinatra?
Do we “do” Ella and Louis?
Hell, no.
We do the songs they did.
