I'm not watching either of those, but probably Sinatra.
 
Sinatra in every way shape and form. Sinatra is just way better and way cooler. That and I can't stand elvis tbh.

There's this video of the 2 of them singing and the crowd (which must've been predominately young women) only reacted to elvis singing and showed no respect to the Chairman of the Board. You can see he's sort of bothered by it too. I hate watching that video.

Yeah but Sinatra is singing like an old crooning grandad while Elvis effortlessly steals the show. What do you expect from the girls?
Sinatra has his fans but Elvis murks him on any song, prejudice aside, lets be real.

Naw, don't agree at all. Elvis is overrated.

Agreed. Frank takes the listener on an emotional journey with this song, I think far more than Elvis did. The crescendo is so much more powerful in Frank's version. Elvis is lathering every note he sings in vibrato and it gets a bit cartoonish for such a meaningful song. Meanwhile, Frank just gives it you to straight with those booming power notes. Frank owns this song.
 
Sinatra sucks. That said, he sings this song correctly, and Elvis doesn’t. Elvis sings it with a sort of gospel vibrato feel, but it’s essentially a sort of douchebag anthem, and should be sung that way. Which Sinatra does.

Yeah, Elvis is one of the most over rated artists. He was very talented for sure but he stole his phasing and style from black artists that couldn't get the same kind of exposure. In some of his popular songs he copied other artists exactly.
 
I respect the vocal talents of guys like Sinatra but I've never been able to get into that style of music. Just sounds like elevator music to me. But to each their own.
 
Hard to compare. Like then both really.

Frank has that smooth once in a lifetime voice. He was a huge heart-throb in the 40s.

Would have been cool to go to a Rat pack concert in the late 50s, early 60s.

Sinatra, Sammy, Dean Martin.

That's a lot of talent on stage.

Fellow Canuck Paul Anka wrote this song I believe.
 
Elvis is the greatest of all time. The most charismatic performer ever, incredibly versatile and sang with more passion and feeling than anyone else
 
I didn't even know Elvis sang this song but Sinatra is the definitive version
 
elvis.

im just a sucker for him.

his voice is great, makes me weak in the knees. his unchained melody made me jizz all over the place.

i named my dog after him.

*so far 11 people dont know shit re who sang this song better.

ill keep updating this number as more votes are given to frank.
