Frank Sinatra was born in Hoboken, New Jersey, in 1915, the son of Italian immigrants, and he learned his trade in the swing era, singing with the Harry James band from 1939 and with Tommy Dorsey's orchestra. By the time he signed to Columbia he was the idol of the bobby soxers, and his first album, The Voice of Frank Sinatra, arrived in 1946.
His great run came at Capitol, where Nelson Riddle's arrangements framed him on In the Wee Small Hours in 1955 and Songs for Swingin' Lovers! in 1956, home of a hard-swinging "I've Got You Under My Skin". Frank Sinatra Sings for Only the Lonely, in 1958, went the other way, with "One for My Baby and One More for the Road" the saddest last call ever sung. In 1960 he started his own label, Reprise, and cut records with Count Basie, then September of My Years in 1965. The following year brought "Strangers in the Night", "That's Life", "Summer Wind" and Sinatra at the Sands, and then came albums with Antonio Carlos Jobim and Duke Ellington.
He retired in 1971 after "My Way", then came back 2 years later, and in 1980 he released "New York, New York". He also won an Academy Award for From Here to Eternity. The Kennedy Center honoured him in 1983, the Presidential Medal of Freedom followed in 1985, and he died in 1998.
