Francis Albert "Frank" Sinatra (December 12, 1915 – May 14, 1998) was an American singer and actor. Beginning his musical career in the swing era with Harry James and Tommy Dorsey, Sinatra became a successful solo artist in the early to mid-1940s, being the idol of the "bobby soxers". His professional career had stalled by the 1950s, but it was reborn in 1954 after he won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor (for his performance in From Here to Eternity). He signed with Capitol Records and released several critically lauded albums (such as In the Wee Small Hours, Songs for Swingin' Lovers, Come Fly with Me, Only the Lonely and Nice 'n' Easy). Sinatra left Capitol to found his own record label, Reprise Records (finding success with albums such as Ring-A-Ding-Ding, Sinatra at the Sands and Francis Albert Sinatra & Antonio Carlos Jobim), toured internationally, was a founding member of the Rat Pack and fraternized with celebrities and statesmen, including John F. Kennedy. Sinatra turned 50 in 1965, 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". With sales of his music dwindling and after appearing in several poorly received films, Sinatra retired for the first time in 1971. Two years later, however, he came out of retirement and in 1973 recorded several albums, scoring a Top 40 hit with "(Theme From) New York, New York" in 1980. 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. Sinatra also forged a successful career as a film actor, winning the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor for his performance in From Here to Eternity, a nomination for Best Actor for The Man with the Golden Arm, and critical acclaim for his performance in The Manchurian Candidate. He also starred in such musicals as High Society, Pal Joey, Guys and Dolls and On the Town. Sinatra was honored at the Kennedy Center Honors in 1983 and was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom by Ronald Reagan in 1985 and the Congressional Gold Medal in 1997. Sinatra was also the recipient of eleven Grammy Awards, including the Grammy Trustees Award, Grammy Legend Award and the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award.

Francis Albert Sinatra (Hoboken, Nova Jersey, 12 de desembre de 1915 - Los Angeles, Califòrnia, 14 de maig de 1998), Frank Sinatra, conegut com La veu, fou un cantant i actor estatunidenc. Al llarg de cinc dècades, va gravar no pas menys de 1300 cançons per a quatre companyies discogràfiques, i va guanyar l'Oscar al millor actor secundari per la seva actuació a D'aquí a l'eternitat. És un dels autors més exitosos de la història. Va rebre la Medalla Presidencial de la Llibertat de mans del president Ronald Reagan, i es va endur onze premis Grammy, entre altres. Com a actor, Sinatra va ser un artista purament intuïtiu, incapaç per la seva personalitat de sotmetre's als assaigs i repeticions habituals en un enregistrament, per la qual cosa les seves interpretacions solen ser molt intenses i irregulars. La importància en la seva vida del seu treball d'actor va ser considerable. El magnetisme de Sinatra es va materialitzar públicament en la formació espontània d'un grup d'amics que Lauren Bacall va anomenar Rat Pack. Aquesta banda estava composta per multitud d'actors i actrius, com Jerry Lewis, Dean Martin, Sammy Davis Jr., Peter Lawford, Joey Bishop, Shirley MacLaine, David Niven, Don Rickles o Humphrey Bogart. Aquest últim diria: «Ens admiràvem mútuament i no necessitàvem res més». Eren famoses les festes i les orgies d'aquest grup, sempre acompanyades de molt alcohol, drogues i prostitutes. Frank era el pack master, per la qual cosa era admirat i respectat per la resta dels packers.

Frank Sinatra, né Francis Albert Sinatra le 12 décembre 1915 à Hoboken (New Jersey) et mort le 14 mai 1998 à Los Angeles (Californie) au Centre médical Cedars-Sinaï, est un chanteur, acteur et producteur de musique américain. Né de parents italiens (d'un père d'origine sicilienne et d'une mère originaire de Ligurie), Sinatra est l'une des figures majeures de la musique américaine. Crooner à la réputation mondiale, surnommé «The Voice» («La Voix») ou encore «le gangster d'Hoboken», en raison de ses liens avec la mafia. Il est l'un des chanteurs les plus influents du XXe siècle et sa popularité est comparable à celle de compatriotes comme Elvis Presley, Bing Crosby ou Michael Jackson. Le critique musical américain Robert Christgau le qualifie même de «plus grand chanteur du XXe siècle». Son répertoire comprend plus de 2 000 chansons pour environ 150 millions de disques vendus. Sa carrière débute à l'ère du swing, comme chanteur dans les orchestres de jazz de Harry James et Tommy Dorsey. Il connaît le succès dès 1943, après avoir signé chez Columbia Records. Devenu l'idole des bobby-soxers, il sort son premier album en 1946, The Voice of Frank Sinatra. En 1953, il remporte l'Oscar du meilleur second rôle pour son interprétation dans Tant qu'il y aura des hommes. La même année, il signe chez Capitol Records et enregistre plusieurs albums à succès (In the Wee Small Hours, Songs for Swingin' Lovers!, Come Fly with Me, Only the Lonely et Nice 'n' Easy). En 1961, il fonde Reprise Records, son propre label, et effectue une tournée internationale. Membre fondateur du Rat Pack, aux côtés de Dean Martin et Sammy Davis Jr., il fréquente de nombreuses célébrités et hommes d'État, dont John F. Kennedy. Dans les années 1960, il enregistre ses deux plus grands succès, Strangers in the Night (1966) et My Way (1969). Il prend une première fois sa retraite en 1971 après quelques albums et films sans succès, mais revient en 1973 et connait à nouveau la gloire en interprétant la chanson New York, New York, reprise de la bande originale du film homonyme de Martin Scorsese (la version originale étant interprétée par Liza Minnelli). Vivant à Las Vegas, où il se produit chaque soir dans les plus grands casinos, il réalise également de nombreuses tournées aux États-Unis et dans le reste du monde jusqu'en 1995. Durant sa carrière cinématographique, il a également été dirigé par certains des plus grands réalisateurs de l'âge d'or hollywoodien, dont Otto Preminger, John Huston, Frank Capra, Vincente Minnelli et Joseph Mankiewicz. Engagé en politique, il est un fervent soutien du Parti démocrate de 1944 à 1970, avant de soutenir le camp républicain et notamment son ami Ronald Reagan. Marié à quatre reprises, notamment avec les actrices Ava Gardner et Mia Farrow, il eut trois enfants, dont la chanteuse Nancy Sinatra. Dans les années 1990, une enquête a montré que Sinatra avait eu des liens avec des pontes de la mafia italo-américaine tels que Carlo Gambino, Sam Giancana ou Lucky Luciano. ...
