Sinatra was the biggest influence on my life, my singing career. And rightly so. I mean he was the best singer ever.
More Quotes from James Darren:
One thing I don't do is, I don't listen to Sinatra before I record or before I go out live. Because if I did, I'd have to say, What am I doing I couldn't listen to the greatest singer in the world and try to go out there and sing. I'd be too depressed.James Darren
I listen to Sinatra, Dean Martin, Tony Bennett, Nat Cole, John Coltrane, Stevie Wonder, Ray Charles. I absolutely love Ray Charles. I listen to Stan Getz, Ahmad Jamal, King Pleasure. My CD collection is getting too large, but I'd never get rid of those. I listen to Anita Baker, Elton John, The Beatles, The Rolling Stones.

People ask me if I'd like to be a teenager today, I'd have to say, Not really. I'd never have gotten to meet Frank Sinatra. I wouldn't have ever known Quinn, Gregory Peck, David Niven or Lee Thompson or Carl Foreman or Shelley Winters or Burl Ives. I wouldn't have known those people.
