How would Frank Sinatra's voice be characterized? Bass, tenor or what?

When Sinatra met Pope Pius, the Pope asked him what tenor parts he had sung (presuming Sinatra was an opera singer) and Frankie had to correct him - “I’m a baritone, your holiness”, or so the story goes.

It’s also possible Frank had Jilly Risso beat the Pope up for making the mistake too, I guess.

This reminds me of the Shecky Greene bit where he said that Frank saved his life one time. Shecky said a couple of guys were beating the shit out of him in the casino parking lot and Frank came up and said, “That’s enough.”
