Frank Sinatra
Music DVD Collection
Francis Albert "Frank" Sinatra ( December 12, 1915 – May 14, 1998)
was
an American singer, actor, and producer who was one of the most
popular
and influential musical artists of the 20th century. Sinatra's music
has been
considered timeless by many. He is one of the best-selling music
artists
of all time, having sold more than 150 million records worldwide.
Born
in Hoboken, New Jersey, to Italian immigrants, he began his musical
career in the swing era with Harry James and Tommy Dorsey. He found
success as a solo artist after being signed by Columbia Records in
1943,
becoming the idol of the "bobby soxers". He released his first
album,
The Voice of Frank Sinatra, in 1946. Sinatra's professional career
had
stalled by the early 1950s, and he turned to Las Vegas, where he
became
one of its best known performers as part of the Rat Pack. His career
was
reborn in 1953 with the success of From Here to Eternity and his
subsequent Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor. He signed with
Capitol Records and released several critically lauded albums,
including
In the Wee Small Hours (1955), Songs for Swingin' Lovers! (1956),
Come Fly with Me (1958), Only the Lonely (1958) and Nice 'n' Easy
(1960).
Sinatra left Capitol in 1960 to start his own record label, Reprise
Records,
and released a string of successful albums. In 1965 he 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". After releasing Sinatra
at
the Sands, recorded at the Sands Hotel and Casino in Vegas with
frequent collaborator Count Basie in early 1966, the following year
he recorded one of his most famous collaborations with Tom Jobim,
the album Francis Albert Sinatra & Antonio Carlos Jobim. It was
followed by 1968's collaboration with Duke Ellington. Sinatra
retired for the first time in 1971, but came out of retirement two
years later and recorded several albums and resumed performing
at Caesars Palace. In 1980 he scored a Top 40 hit with "(Theme From)
New York, New York". Using his Las Vegas shows as a home base,
he toured both within the United States and internationally until a
short time before his death in 1998
