He was probably the most likely British singer to potentially have a sophisticated, international appeal of a similar kind to Sinatra himself. I've got a boxed set of CDs, but great singer that he was, some of the material is little lacklustre. I do like From Russia With Love, but I'd have liked to have heard Jim Reeves sing it. (As well, not instead of.)
