Frank Sinatra (12 December 1915 – 14 May 1998) was one of the greatest and most popular singers of his time.
His Way
I can say it with conviction
When I laud Sinatra’s diction;
And I have no trouble praising
Frank Sinatra’s perfect phrasing;
And vocalists should take instruction
From the ease of his production.
He’s far more than a Rat Pack swinger,
He’s just about the perfect singer.

Sammy Davis Sr. (12 December 1900 – 21 May 1988) was an American dancer and the father of entertainer Sammy Davis Jr.
Like Father?
Sammy Jr. once stated, "When I was nine I told my father, 'I can outdance you'. 'Oh yeah? What makes you think that?' he asked. 'Cause you taught me everything I know'. 'Yeah, but I didn't teach you everything I know.'" – Wikipedia
Sammy Davis Sr. was outdone
By the greater talents of his son.
And though respectful offspring often daren’t
Do things better than their aged parent,
Sammy Davis Jr. never had
Such tender scruples dealing with his dad.
