Francis Albert Sinatra was an American singer who is considered one of the finest vocalists of all time, renowned for his impeccable phrasing & timing. At 37, Sinatra launched a second career as a film actor & became admired for a screen persona distinctly tougher than his smooth singing style. Born in Hoboken, New Jersey as the son of a quiet father & a talented, tempestuous mother, Sinatra decided to become a singer after hearing Bing Crosby on the radio. He began singing in small clubs in New Jersey & eventually attracted the attention of trumpeter & band-leader Harry James. After a brief stint with James, he joined the Tommy Dorsey Orchestra in 1940 where he rose to fame as a singer. His vast appeal to the bobby soxers, as teenage girls were then called, revealed a whole new audience for popular music, which had appealed mainly to adults up to that time. He was the first singing teen idol. He later recorded as a solo artist with some success, particularly during the musicians recording strikes. Posters Of Frank Sinatra
