actor,
b. Hoboken, N.J. During the late 1930s and early
40s he sang with the Harry James
and Tommy Dorsey bands, causing teenage girls to shriek and swoon over
his
romantic,
seemingly casual renditions of such songs as “I'll Never Smile Again”
and “This Love of Mine.”
During his long career he became one of the most
successful pop music figures of the century, widely respected as a
“singer's singer”
for his richly detailed readings of lyrics and his versatile and
nuanced musical
style. Sinatra's sophisticated musicianship was evident in his many
recordings.
He had a long-lived and successful
movie career, appearing in 58 film
including
On the Town (1949), From Here to Eternity
(1953, Academy Award),
Guys and Dolls (1955), Pal Joey (1957), The Manchurian Candidate (1962),
and The Detective (1968).
Acclaimed
vocalist Frank Sinatra has had one of the most enduring careers
in the history of popular music,
lasting from his days as a young man in the late
1930s to his last publicperformance in 1995.
