Frank Sinatra and Elvis Presley had great charisma, or a special personal charm or appeal that gives them influence or authority.
Charisma is often a quality possessed by successful politicians or other leaders, or by other public figures. The corresponding adjective is charismatic, and it applies more to personality than appearance: a handsome and charismatic actor. Charisma was borrowed from a Greek word meaning "favor, gift," from charizesthai "to favor," from charis "grace."
