TOD:
I read DR BEN's post on FS with interest. Growing up, I always thought I liked FS. I heard something of his recently, felt quite underwhelmed, and attributed my previous assessment to my (then) youth. Thanks to Ben and others here, I am reminded that a performer often changes/evolves and one's opinion of his/her work may also change.
As for the Brat Pack, my favorite is Sammy. I loved him then and I love him now. Incredible performer, IMO.
