Sounds Like
A little like Frank Sinatra, a lot like Mario Rosales.
Mario Rosales has been performing as a singer, actor, comic and musician in Los Angeles for almost two decades.
He has combined his singing talents with his abilities as a top notch comedic impressionist and created a show he calls "Mario, Frank & Company".
This show is indeed a crowd pleaser. The name of the show is intended to symbolize the shows content... Mario Rosales who sings Frank Sinatra's biggest hits with songs that span Frank Sinatra's career from his early days to the later hits he recorded while on the Capitol Records label.
The " & Company" part of the show's name comes from the fact that Mario includes some of his best impressions in the show, including a show opening tribute to Rodney Dangerfield where Mario pretends to channel the spirit of the departed comedian into his own body. The metamorphosis is uncanny, and the impression is so good, it's almost eerie.
Mario has recently laid down numerous tracks of Frank Sinatra's biggest hits, but now he is looking to release an album of originals in the not too distant future. Mario's rich bass voice is sometimes compared to Frank Sinatra's but seldom to Barry White. What he does with his deep resonance flies in the face of the myth that a man with such a deep voice can't carry the lead vocal spot. This man certainly can.
Mario's impressions are obviously meant to sound like the famous people he mimics, but the singing portion of the show is pure Mario Rosales. His style is similar to Frank Sinatra's, but the voice is deeper and Mario puts his own stamp on the songs. Occasionally some of the songs come out sounding a bit like Mr. Sinatra, but that is purely unintentional.
If you are lucky enough to see Mario perform his show, be prepared for an evening of toe tapping, finger snapping and downright fun.
Keep an eye and ear out for this big man with a big voice...Mario Rosales////
