Sinatra Forever: Salute to Frank Sinatra is a concert that pays homage to perhaps the greatest singer of all time. This is not an impersonation show, but a loving tribute performed by Rick Michel to the charismatic "Chairman of the Board" whose recordings and performances turned the Great American Songbook into a work of art.Rick Michel is one of Las Vegas' premier singers. From the time he was a teenager, Rick has been singing Sinatra's music and has performed with big bands since the early 1980's. "I think Frank Sinatra was the most articulate of all the pop and standard singers," says Michel. "He made songs his own by uniquely phrasing the words to wrap around the melody line like no one else before him or since. I have tried to touch upon all aspects of Mr. Sinatra's life by choosing the variety of music that best represents his career," Michel explains.
Sinatra Forever is a timeless concert and part of the American Songbook, with all the original arrangements, and even some of the original musicians who backed up Sinatra himself.
