Sammy Davis.. better than sinatra?

[britspin]

I've been a Sinatra fan for a few years- collected most of the classic albums, listened to them to death, but now am I coming to the conclusion that Sammy davis jr was a better performer than sinatra.

On the albums and concerts i've listened too Sammy Davis's range, power, timing and punctuation are all something else, beyond even Sinatra. The only thing that holds him back is a too obvious need to be liked, to be loved- that doesn't replicate sinatra's offhanded cool- and perhaps resulted in a poorer choice of material -bigger misteps (though at least he never recorded a love song with his own daughter).

Yet given the choice of seeing Sinatra or davis perform live at their peak- right now i'd want to see Sammy.

However, I've never seen either of them live (never wanted to see Sinatra in decline and too young for Davis), and that Sinatra was renowned for his get it done, get it out attitude to recording, so my knowledge is massively flawed.

So am i completely wrong?
