Who was Frank Sinatra?

Frank Sinatra

Francis Albert "Frank" Sinatra was born on December 12, 1915, in Hoboken, New Jersey. On May 14, 1998, Frank Sinatra died of a heart attack.

Frank Sinatra was an American singer and motion-picture actor and one of the most valuable performers in the entertainment industry of the 20th century. His career started in the 1930s and continued into the 1990s.

His first experience with music came when his uncle gave him a ukulele, and on hot summer nights, he loved to go outside and sing while playing the instrument. Early in his life, Sinatra knew he wanted to become a singer.

In the 1940s and 1950s, he had a dazzling array of hit songs and albums and went on to appear in dozens of films, winning a supporting actor Oscar for his role in From Here to Eternity.

Sinatra's hits in the 1960s included "It Was a Very Good Year" and "Strangers in the Night" (1966). He reached the top of the singles charts in a duet, "Somethin' Stupid," with his daughter Nancy in 1967.

After Sinatra's famous recording of "My Way" (1969), he made an ill-fated attempt to sing some of the lighter tunes of modern rock composers. This led to a brief retirement from entertainment (1971 through 1973).

He came out of his retirement in 1974 with a renewed interest in older tunes. His return to the limelight was highlighted by his famous recording of "New York, New York" (1980) as he entered his sixth decade of entertaining.

With a show business career that spanned more than 50 years, Sinatra's continued mass appeal can best be explained in the man's own words: "When I sing, I believe. I'm honest."
