h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

In some sci fi world, would Sinatra be converted into a digital entity with the same personality and (hopefully) a digitized voice based on his vocal apparatus in the 1940s? I'm not sure I want this robot to channel the Sinatra that sang "Old Man River" in "Til the clouds roll by." He sounded good, but it's hard to see his struggles as comparable to those of the character for which that song was written. I would prefer Paul Robeson (who had some struggles) or William Warfield, whom I met at a recital in college. Warfield sang a delightful song that imagined what Old Mother Hubbard would have sounded like if written by Handel. Warfield sang in the "Messiah" that Leonard Bernstein recorded, still my favorite version.

(I am sorry to have drifted from the original topic. Sinatra after about 1955 bores me, and his earlier work, though elevated by a fresher voice and a singing style in the mellifluous style of the 1940s, was not as distinctive as the style he picked up later. There are so many other singers to choose from, and I often do choose them.)
