Frank Sinatra Quotes

Francis Albert “Frank” Sinatra was born on December 12, 1915, in Hoboken. He was an American singer and motion-picture actor who, through a long career and a very public personal life, became one of the most sought-after performers in the entertainment industry; he is often hailed as the greatest American singer of 20th-century popular music. Early in his life Sinatra knew he wanted to become a singer. His influences were Rudy Vallee (1901–1986) and Bing Crosby (1903–1977). He dropped out of high school and began to sing at small clubs. He got his first big break on the radio talent show Major Bowes and his Amateur Hour in 1935. 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. He was the first singer to gain national attention. Before that the big bands were king and each had their own male singer. Frank broke away from that. Women were crazy over him like people are crazy over singers today – but he was the first! He won an Oscar for a documentary called “The House I Live In”  Frank Sinatra died in Los Angeles on May 14, 1998, aged 82. He died after a heart attack. Below is a collection of Frank Sinatra Quotes on Life, Love & Music.
