Frank Sinatra

This would be a lengthy list if you somehow could find names of all the performers who opened for Sinatra during his 7-decade career. In Vegas, he typically had comedians open the show; the best known was Joey Bishop. Pat Henry became something of a regular opening act for Sinatra in 1958, and remained so for the next 20 years. Buddy Lester was another comedian who "warmed up" the room for the Chairman of the Board. Other comics include Don Rickles, Red Buttons, Pat Cooper, John Pinnette, Charlie Callas, Pete Barbutti and Brad Garrett Another famous opening act for Sinatra was Steve Lawrence and Eydie Gorme, who opened for his notable "Diamond Anniversary Tour" in 1991.

He sometimes had musical acts open. At Royal Albert Hall, London in 1980, the opening act was Sergio Mendes and Brazil '66. Other musical acts on the bill through the years included Sam Butera, Trini Lopez, John Denver, Buddy Rich, Count Basie and even daughter Nancy.

In later years of touring comedian Tom Dreeson was the standard opening act for Sinatra.

Yes she is still alive and is 95 years old. Nancy Barbato Sinatra never remarried, once remarking "once you've had the best forget the rest"

Actually yes. Franklin Wayne Sinatra is the only son of entertainer Frank Sinatra. He is known as Frank Sinatra, Jr. 1

Definitely not. It is well documented that he was highly intelligent working the New York Times Crossword puzzle in pen.

Frank was a friend of Joes to the end. He helped him get spots on TV shows and appearances. He paid for his medical bills and helped with Max Schmelling paid for his funeral. It was said he talked to President Reagan to waive the requirements to get him buried in Arlington National Cemetery. It was never out of pity but out of a debt of gratitude.

No.
Frank Sinatra has three grandchildren: Amanda Lambert, AJ Lambert, and Michael Sinatra. Nancy Sinatra is the mother of Amanda and AJ. Michael is Frank Sinatra Jr.'s son. None of the grandchildren are parents yet.

Well, my grandmother saw him at the 1939 Worlds Fair. Then mostly just New Yorkers were listening to him. The forties had "Sinatramania" then in the early 50's his career went down. Until the movie From Here To Eternity, which the mob got him the lead role, this revived his career.

No, Sinatra has two grand-daughters by Nancy. Their sur-name however, was Lambert. Frank Sinatra Jr. has one son, named Michael.

Actually Frank Jr. does have more children, he just wasn't married to their mothers. Francine Sinatra Anderson is one of them. There are at least two others.

We'll never know for certain, but my guess is probably not if this quote below is true:


"Rock 'n' roll smells phony and false. It is sung, played and written, for the most part, by cretinous goons. And, by means of its almost imbecilic reiteration, and sly, lewd and in plain fact, dirty lyrics ... it manages to be the martial music of every side-burned delinquent on the face of the earth." -FRANK SINATRA (SOURCE: quoted in Taboo Tunes: A History of Banned Bands & Censored Songs)

People called Elvis Presley, "The King", "The King of Rock n' Roll", and "Elvis the Pelvis."

In the above video he says Chesterfields.

This is accounted for in several pieces of media and also movies and pictures from events he was seen at.

He won a Best supporting Actor Oscar for 'From Here to Eternity'.

'Fly Me To The Moon' by Frank Sinatra was released in 1964 on the Reprise label. An interessting fact is that on the first lunar landing by man, this song was played inside the Apollo 11 spacecraft.

Yes but he is sickly..he recently cancel many shows.He looks very old

The song "It Had To Be You" was originally written and published in 1924 by musician Isham Jones and lyricist Gus Kahn.

The first recording of this song was recorded by Sam Lanin & his Orchestra for the Okeh label. It was recorded on March 20th, 1924.

There are literally thousands of recordings of this song by a very broad variety of artists. Some very successful recent recordings of this song include a 1979 recording by Frank Sinatra with Billy May & his Orchestra on the album "Trilogy".

You can purchase an MP3 of that recording here:

More recently (and perhaps even more successfully) the song was recorded by Harry Connick Jr. on the 1989 soundtrack for the motion picture "When Harry Met Sally".

Sinatra was reported to be worth $150-$200 million at the time of his death. He earned more than $1 Billion in his professional career and gave away $1 Billion to charity. He was always flush with money and continued earning millions in fees and royalties all the way to the end of his life. But, he was also known as a huge spender and acknowldged himself that he spent too much money and that his accountants were always "bawling him out" for spending too much. So, with that in mind, I doubt he was worth as much as he should have been. If his estate was as much as $25 million at the end of his life, I would be surprised.

Yes, he was. That probably explains some of his behavior.

http://www.jman5.com/franksinatra/franksinatranytimes.htm In 1976 he married for the fourth time, to Barbara Blakely Marx, who had been married to Zeppo Marx. She survives him, along with his daughters, his son and two grandchildren.

There are many. It's a personal opinion/taste. Some look like him and can't sing all that well. In the Chicagoland area, check out Jack D'Amico and his Chicago Rat Pack who look and sound like the real thing. Real singers like Walt Andrus near NY sounds a lot like him naturally and sang with The Tommy Dorsey Orchestra from 1988-2003. Stephen Triffitt does a great job in the UK, Brian Duprey in Vegas, Tom Gaebel in Germany, Michael Dutra Boston and many others are on You Tube and have websites.

It starts in D flat, then modulates to E flat and again to F.

Yes, she had children with her second husband (Hugh Lambert) 2 girls
