| 2. My first thought would Frank Sinatra. |
|
Even today singers seem to copy his style.

| 6. Caruso was one of young Elvis' influences |
|
(as was Mario Lanza), so if -- like me -- you'd say Elvis was the most influential, musically and culturally, then Caruso is like a grand-influence, or something. :-)

| 8. Depends on the context. |
|
Some songs' value have shifted in context.
"Don't Stop" by Fleetwood Mac is sung as an optimistic ditty. Read the lyrics these days and some would find it damn depressing.
