    While country music as a whole is acquiring the rock and roll industry, there is one young and rising artist who isn’t yet headlining the shows or filling the stadiums like “the greats,” but has the potential to make a profound impact on both country and rock and roll.

Around the 1950s and 1960s, Sinatra’s career began to drop as people’s interest now turned to new, upcoming music: “[Sinatra] was left with a shrinking audience and his own stubborn good taste” (Sinatra, Tina par. 22). Sinatra’s own daughter was able to see how her father’s popularity was starting to get worse because of his own “stubborn good taste”. William Ruhlmann, a well-known writer of American popular music, stated that Sinatra’s musical director, Mitch Miller, wanted Sinatra to sing “gimmicky arrangements” by using “novelty material.”…
