It sounds like he's trying to emulate Sinatra doesn't it-his voice isn't bad (just dead lol) but his no Frank. Odd he picked such a slow song given his penchant to go wild on drums. Maybe he should have sung scat-then his singing and what he was singing would at least match LOL. Dang cruel GetAgrippa-it's Xmas. I'm sorry Buddy you're the "Greatest" drummer (even with a conventional forehead) ever but you can't sing man-you'd be yelling at yourself in your own band for coming to practice ill prepared with that chip.

If there was ever drumming that was hard to scat replicate, its gotta be Buddys. Might sound like my vocal impression of a machine gun.

Boring to say the least. Then again I wasn't infatuated with Sinatra. I guess it depends when you're born as to who influences you. You do notice that Buddy never did stop playing drums and "thrill" us with his dream of crooning. Who knows? Maybe he could have been a master at the oboe. No wait. He'd be absolutely great as human speed dialer in a call center.
