"The four different singing styles are what vary this drawing. Elvis swinging his pelvis in the upper left, with Barbra, in a scene out of "Funny Girl," trying not to run into him on those roller skates. Below, the Beatles exude charm while Frankie exudes cool. If you count the vaudeville act Barbra is performing, you've got about eighty years of American popular music styles represented. Though God knows what this would sound like if you heard them all crooning at once." HOL/328
