“What a voice! The future belongs to vocalists and Richard Shelton is going to lead the way there!”.

“Richard Shelton is both mesmerizing and disturbing as Sinatra. He is smooth and
charming in demeanor as he croons, but in a second displays a more private, volatile side to his nature and a life littered with indiscretions.”
