«Sólo se vive una vez, y de la manera que vivo, con una basta»
Francis Albert Sinatra, más conocido como Frank Sinatra (Hoboken, 12 de diciembre de 1915 – Los Ángeles, 14 de mayo de 1998), fue un cantante y actor estadounidense. Apodado «La Voz», fue una de las figuras más importantes de la música popular del siglo XX y dejó, a través de sus discos y actuaciones en directo, un legado canónico en lo que respecta a la interpretación vocal masculina de esa música.
Su popularidad llegó a ser inmensa y prácticamente constante a lo largo de toda su vida, aunque fueron especialmente exitosos los años cuarenta y cincuenta, siendo esta última década, con su producción discográfica para la compañía Capitol, la considerada como su etapa de mayor calidad como cantante.
“You only live once, and the way I live, once is enough”
Francis Albert «Frank» Sinatra (December 12, 1915 – May 14, 1998) was an American singer, actor, director, and producer.
Beginning his musical career in the swing era as a boy singer with Harry James and Tommy Dorsey, Sinatra found success as a solo artist from the early to mid-1940s after being signed by Columbia Records in 1943. Being the idol of the «bobby soxers», he released his first album, The Voice of Frank Sinatra, in 1946.
His professional career had stalled by the early 1950s, but it was reborn in 1953 after he won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor for his performance in From Here to Eternity. He signed with Capitol Records in 1953 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 in 1961 (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.
