  • They should get Terrence Howard to play him in a movie

  • Whoever said Billy "rates right up there with Sinatra is a tone deaf fool. By any measure Billy Ekstine was a far superior singer to Sinatra - he had a better voice and greater musicianship. And since he was singing in the Afro-American blues/jazz tradition he had a more intresting style. I find sinatra rather bland compared to Mr. B. Now that's a fact jack!!

    Ps: To the dude who cracked on his suit, it is obvious that you are no slave to fashion!

  • Eckstine WAS bigger than Sinatra!! White AND black girls were throwing their drawers at him on stage. HE was too hot; that's why they shut him down. MGM cancelled their 10-yr contract with him and it was downhill after that.

  • What movie is this clip from?

  • oh dam... this is where james brown got that song from.. eckstien was fine

  • true is true===if he was caucasian, he would be bigger than bing crosby and sinatra---just as dorothy dandridge would have been as big as monroe---abby lincoln also
