  • Frank Sinatra, Ol' Blue Eyes himself, is not only a legend in the music industry but one of the 20th century's biggest cultural icons. Sinatra began his legendary musical career during the swing era.
    When he embarked on a solo career in the 1940s, he became the idol of the “Bobby Soxers” who were teenage girls of the 40s that were fans of pop music. Sinatra went on to also have a successful career as an actor and is also remembered for being a member of The Rat Pack.
    Sinatra is undoubtedly one of the entertainment industry's biggest icons but he also lived a life filled with tragedy. Here are the details.

      What exactly was his rough life? The fact that he treated women like crap and on film too? The fact that he had mobster friends that could Grease the wheels for him? The fact that despite his singing voice leaving after the Columbia years he still was popular when he had no voice left? The fact that he helped the gangsters out in Las Vegas by putting on a free show for them every night for 6 weeks during the making of ocean's 11?

    My grandmother saw him in concert sometime in the early 40s. She said he was the most “magnificent looking/sounding man she had ever experienced.” She said all the girls were absolutely going nuts, screaming & fainting especially if he looked in their general direction. She was right in there with them! She got close enough to the stage that he reached out & shook her hand. She promptly fainted & security (or someone she couldn’t be sure) dragged or carried her to the lobby & dumped with all the other ditzy girls. She then promptly went home wrapped hand in bandages & refused to wash it for 3-4 weeks until her mother finally had enough. After she died we found out just how crazy about him she was.she had 3 steamer trunks full of related Sinatra stuff dating back to the 30s. She had every album he ever put out, many personal item reported to be his and enough printed material to wallpaper an entire house! It turned out to be our real inheritance & now has pride of place outside those trunks for all to enjoy… but still it’s kind of a weird story (or should I say obsession) that she collected all that crap!

      The only tragic part about his life was when he divorced Nancy for Ava and ended up falling in a deep, dark depression and a loveless marriage. He was broke and on the brink of suicide. The one thing that saved him was a side roll in “From Here to Eternity.” Of course, this wasn’t really mentioned in the video though🙄

      I was reading about Frank playing Carnegie Hall and was supposed to meet John Gotti for dinner after and instead went with his bodyguard Jilly Rizzo to a different restaurant saying he wasn't feeling well enough to meet him. Gotti's hitman Joe Watts came up to their table and told him that the next time John sends for you and you make up an excuse, I will be the last face you ever see.

      It may not appear tragic at first glance, but it was most likely. Someone could have all of the recognition and success to fulfill them, but that doesn’t solve all the other issues in their lives. I don’t think Frank was drinking alcohol like water, had a short fuse, and was “friends” with mob guys because his personal life was extraordinary. There’s no doubt his professional life was incredible, he is legendary, incredible influence on artists and music even after his death.

    I grew up admiring Sinatra and still do to some extent. But it gets more difficult the more I learn about the man. He had talent both as a singer and actor and was generous to many. But, like most of us, he had character flaws. It's not surprising but it is disappointing. Hero worship can do that. I used to admire DiMaggio too. But, for his talent. Not much else.

Mr. Sinatra said "Oh, i got that on me!"
    After his final appearence for that Telethon, I handed him a 3/4" copy of his performances in stereo. He was so appreciative b slapped me on the side if my face and said "Thanks kid"

    In today's medical world, doctors would induce labor before the pregnancy got too far, probably perform a Cesarean Section. But Frank didn't have that privilege, so he had to weather scars from the forceps on the left side of his face and ear. But inside, he had an incredible talent, which made him truly "The Voice" of the 20th Century. Good things have been said about him and lies have been told, that is usual with a famous person, there is awe and jealousy as well, and we HUMANS err, make mistakes and sometimes show our anger or other emotions and when you are in the public a lot, others will see that. But smart people will understand and forgive mis-behavior and let it go. Others make money talking about bad things that should have been let go years ago! Thus is life. If we remember, "be nice or be silent" we won't carry on stories and rumors that can often be unfounded and hurt others!

    Within "I heard you paint houses", Sinatra was described as being a very slick individual, a fact that very much annoyed russell. During evening dinners at a restaurant, to which I can't remember the name of, Sinatra would often times, whilst drunk, pick fights with other people, knowing full well that someone will stop him. Russell was so annoyed that he once threatened that, I'm paraphrasing here, I'm gonna cut your tongue out and feed it to you, or some varition of sorts. Of course, the authenticity of this book is much to be debated, but its just interesting to see the mob's perspective on sinatra.

    At 10:46, the biographer states that "his wife and three children were at his bedside when he died" which is completely untrue! His wife, Barbara Marx did NOT get along with his children, and kept them from being by Sinatra's bedside at his death so that she could be seen as the sole mourner. She also gave HER son valuable mementos from Sinatra's long career that were long before she ever met him, that SHOULD have gone to his children. Instead, she auctioned them off for money! She was an avaricious wife who let him know when she saw a pricey piece of jewelry in shop windows during their travels, that she wanted that piece, so he'd buy it for her. She was only valuable in that she did keep him from being alone in his elder, last years, but at a huge price!

    • @akrenwinkle
      @akrenwinkle Před 3 lety +2

      After many years of abuse, Barbara got back at Frank, even taking charge of his medication to keep him in line. More than a little irony: Early on, Frank ordered Barbara to stop smoking on the grounds that it wasn't feminine. Whereas he could smoke his head off all day. And eventually the time came when Frank became frail with several diseases, coasting on to a sad 82. Barbara, a sturdy midwestern gal, made it to 90, and her last decades, without Frank, were likely her happiest... all the trappings of wealth, without being insulted and slapped around by him.
