Do you like Frank Sinatra?

I love Frank Sinatra he's a legend in music

Quote:

Francis Albert "Frank" Sinatra (December 12, 1915 – May 14, 1998) was an American singer and actor.
Beginning his musical career in the swing era with Harry James and Tommy Dorsey, Sinatra became a successful solo artist in the early to mid-1940s, being the idol of the "bobby soxers." His professional career had stalled by the 1950s, but it was reborn in 1954 after he won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor.
He signed with Capitol Records and released several critically lauded albums (such as In the Wee Small Hours, Songs for Swingin' Lovers, Come Fly with Me, Only the Lonely and Nice 'n' Easy). Sinatra left Capitol to found his own record label, Reprise Records (finding success with albums such as Ring-A-Ding-Ding, Sinatra at the Sands and Francis Albert Sinatra & Antonio Carlos Jobim), toured internationally, was a founding member of the Rat Pack and fraternized with celebrities and presidents, including President John F. Kennedy. Sinatra turned 50 in 1965, recorded the retrospective September of My Years, starred in the Emmy-winning television special Frank Sinatra: A Man and His Music, and scored hits with "Strangers in the Night" and "My Way".
Sinatra attempted to weather the changing tastes in popular music, but with sales of his music dwindling, and after appearing in several poorly received films, he retired in 1971. Coming out of retirement in 1973, he recorded several albums, scored a hit with "(Theme From) New York, New York" in 1980, and toured both within the United States and internationally until a few years before his death in 1998.
Sinatra also forged a career as a dramatic actor, winning the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor for his performance in From Here to Eternity, and he was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Actor for The Man with the Golden Arm. He also starred in such musicals as High Society, Pal Joey, Guys and Dolls and On the Town. Sinatra was honored with the Kennedy Center Honors in 1983 and awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom by Ronald Reagan in 1985 and the Congressional Gold Medal in 1997. Sinatra was also the recipient of eleven Grammy Awards, including the Grammy Trustees Award, Grammy Legend Award and the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award.

I LOVE his music, films and old TV-shows! He's still the chairman of the board!! I own well over 50 of his CD's and old records

By the way, his musical career finished by 1994, when he released the amazing Duets II, but he did died on 1998, May 14... I remember it perfectly because it was the same day the Seinfeld finale was to air on NBC and much of the hype was overshadowed by the unfortunate event

Lol. Who? xD

Just kidding.
Well, I like him ;)

I don't go out of my way to listen to his music, but whenever I do hear it I rather like it :) I respect him as a music legend (much like Elvis) but I don't listen to him habitually.

Yep, I know him.
I don't usually listen him often, but I love Fly me to the moon :heart

no, i think his music is boring

he is the legend of music ehe

oh my god. never thought that there would be someone who'll start up a thread for Frank Sinatra.

OH MY GOD! I Love a bunch of his songs... though i was born toooooooooooooo late to enjoy his stardom. LOL.

My favorite songs are

woah. really? So Moon River is not an original Frank Sinatra song?

We had a Frank Sinatra Chistmas album when I was young, so for the longest time I thought he just sang Christmas music!! :D hehehe. But I do know a bunch of his other songs now and I really like them. Ol' blue eyes... :)
