Frank Sinatra was mentioned by various names in his heyday, and though he is best recognized for his voice, he was also a reputable thespian and an icon. In 1954, Frankie even won an Academy Award for Best Actor in a Supporting Role in 'From Here to Eternity'. Coming into the world on December 12th, 1915 in Hoboken, New Jersey, Francis Albert Sinatra did not finish high school and never learned how to read music, but was still able to grow into one of the most cherished performers in entertainment.
In 1935, Sinatra received his big break as a member of the Hoboken Four, and by 1941, he was a successful solo artist. By the late 1940's, Sinatra felt that his career had reached its peak, and he decided to expand into acting, co-starring in 'Take Me Out to the Ball Game' with Gene Kelly in 1949.
While singing at the Copacabana in 1950, Sinatra suffered hemorrhaging in his vocal cords and feared that it would be the end of his run. Sinatra was able to come to his senses following a failed suicide attempt, and in shorter than a year's time, he made his mark in Las Vegas at the Desert Inn.
In 1953, while continuing to work in the motion pictures and television industry, he signed with Capitol records, chose to reinvent himself, and produced a few of his most well-known hits like 'Come Fly With Me', 'Young At Heart', and 'I've Got You Under My Skin'. He was proclaimed the Top Male Vocalist by Billboard, Metronome, and Down Beat by the end of the year and Frank Sinatra vinyl was more loved than ever.
More successful than ever, Sinatra was back, and now he was involved in every aspect of the entertainment industry. It was no surprise that he and his famous friends joined together to become one of the most notable groups of all time, the Rat Pack. Along with famous associates such as Dean Martin and Sammy Davis Jr., the Rat Pack also included members like Judy Garland and Katherine Hepburn. With the inclusion of peter Lawford, who happened to be the brother-in-law of President Kennedy, they were as powerful as you might imagine, the entourage was untouchable.
In 1995, Sinatra made his last televised appearance during a celebration for his 80th birthday in New York City, where he joined an ensemble for the final few lines of 'New York, New York'. Sinatra passed away and the world lost one of its brightest stars on May 14th, 1998, at the age of 82. Ol' Blue Eyes, though he is no longer with us, will be remembered forever, and his classic vinyl will play across the world for centuries to come.
