N.S.: Two octaves? After his vocal chords hemorrhaged, circa 1951, and he needed surgery, there's no way he could have had a two octave range. Maybe during the 1940s, and even that's dubious. Harve Presnell sang in the opera as a baritone, and I ead that he had a 1.8 octave range in his prime.

"In this short 1960s radio interview excerpted from DJ Paul Compton's 12-part radio special Project Sinatra, composer/arranger Nelson Riddle discusses Frank Sinatra's two-octave vocal range with specific reference to an April 1960 Capitol Records recording session which featured Sinatra recording the song 'River, Stay Away from My Door.
"The audio is from the RIC ROSS Frank Sinatra Collection."
Maybe by giving compliments,it kept him working through the sixties with Frank--including "Moonlight Sinatra" from 1966.

Tiny Tim had considerable vocal range, for what it's worth.
