Sinatra: 100 Years of Greatness

100 Years of Greatness

December 12th, 2015 marks a very special day. Not only is it the 26th birthday of your favorite classic movie blogger (yes, that would be me), but it also marks the 100th birthday of some guy named Francis Albert “Frank” Sinatra. Yup, that’s right today is Ol’ Blue Eyes 100th birthday! To be honest, there’s not much I can say about the man who created the concept of the modern pop star that hasn’t already been said. So, instead, I say we just take a look at the man and see how he evolved through the years.

Baby Sinatra, already looking like a lady killer.

…..

Believe it or not, Sinatra was arrested for “carrying on with a married woman.”
That’s right, he was the original Mr. Steal Your Girl

…..

Sinatra in the 1930s. I like to call it his “boy band” phase.

…..

And here we have some fans afflicted with what some would call incurable Sinatramania.

…..

Sinatra circa 1950. Although the “low point” in his career, the man knew the show must go on.

…..

Sinatra with Montgomery Clift in From Here to Eternity AKA the film that ushered in a whole new era of Sinatra.

…..

Sinatra, leader of the Rat Pack, pictured with his buddies Dean Martin, Peter Lawford, and Sammy Davis Jr.

Still doing it his way up to the 1980s.

Happy Birthday to The Voice!
