After I find out about the actor and singers when I was a kid, I usually get bumbed out. Kind of like finding out your dad was a serial killer. I guess we all have skeletons in our closets, but some people have a morgue..

I met him back in 1963 when I was working at Eden Roc Hotel, Miami Beach when he gathered with his buddies Dean Martin, Sammy Davis, Jr., Joey Bishop and Peter Lawford, at Jillys Jen across the street. He was always surrounded by body guards but friendly. He was a very good tipper.

I got to work with Mr. Sinatra at Desert Hospital in Palm Springs CA. in the early 80s. I helped him find locations in the Sinatra educational center to hang his personal oil paintings. He was easy to work with. His main concern was the security and the permanent attachment to the walls. He drove up in a yellow Gremlin car wearing a Dodgers jacket and ball cap. A few people were able to get his autograph. Most did not know he passed them. It was a pleasant experience for me. I also was able to help him in a Sinatra benefit dinner for the hospital. Good memory.

I saw Frank Sinatra long, long, ago in Mobile, Alabama. The man was electrifying. He was not announced. Frank just walked out on stage, and the house went up in flames. What a talent, what a night.

[gkvogt]

I'm not surprised by any of this.

[royleon]

Hé was both a musical genius with a magical voice but also he had a disturbed mind that he sometimes lost control of. A very remarkable man.

[cliffworks]

Mr. Sinatra was a master of breath control, I have never head one instance where you can hear him breathe while singing. I read he learned that technique watching Tommy Dorsey and perhaps other horn players. Nelson Riddle was another master he blended polytonal harmony with traditional tonal voicings. Two masters.

[williamlechner]

He put so much feeling in songs like "Softly as I leave you" and "Lucky to be loved by you" That you can listen to them over and over and love every minute.

What does it profit a man if he gains the whole world but loses his soul?
.

[eLEMENTARYimage]

If you or i behaved in life the way he did through his life we'd be called gangsters. Frank could sing, so he was called 'ol Blue eyes. Total pass.

[christinagordon]

I wonder whether he suffered brain damage from the forceps at his birth? This has happened before. Also, they said he was left scarred on the left side of his face! The force used could easily have left him brain damaged which may have affected his personality!

[davidshenton]

nobodies mentioned Bobby Fuller of the Bobby Fuller Four who was dating Nancy Sinatra, frank did not approve. Bobby Fuller died in strange happenings, witch still has a open verdict.

[serenafranklin]

Frank Sinatra was a great singer with flair. As always until the end he did it His Way !!

[chrismiles]

Frank Sinatra was a cult figure, a early racial equity advocate and a scary hombre. But his SEPTEMBER OF MY YEARS album and Nelson Riddle collaborations are par excellence. True New Yorker!

[tomrucco]

Is there anyone in this world who goes from birth to death without having anything to hide

[romano]

I’m 57 and I have always known Dean Martin to be a far better singer than Sinatra and a classier guy, too. Although I’m sure Dino had his problems, Sinatra always seemed like a dark character.

[melodydeese]

If I personally knew him I would have been afraid of him. Sounds like he didn’t cherish life, was a criminal. But he sure could sing.

[christophertsiliacos]

I think "Ol' Blue Eyes" actually got better looking with age. For example, the "chairman of the board" was better looking at 55 than when he was 25.

[BTKZH]

I always thought Sinatra was an arrogant, self-centred individual who was propped up by the media. Never cared for his voice either.

[normanbates]

I'm not sure he was someone worth meeting but he was a talented chap. Some of his friends weren't nice at all.
