Francis Albert "Frank" Sinatra was born on
December 12th, in 1915 in Hoboken, New Jersey.
Growing up Frank Sinatra was an only child
of his parents who were Sicilian immigrants
and would go on to enjoy music in high school
and take part in his high school Glee club
enjoying singing.
Sinatra also began singing in nightclubs at
an early age where he would later connect
with a man named Tommy Dorsey and would join
his band making hit songs for the radio.
After success with Tommy Dorsey Sinatra would
go out on his own continuing making songs
that people loved.
This also earned him nicknames like, "The
Voice" and "The Sultan of Swoon."

and by 1945, had won a special Academy Award

would also receive a Grammy Lifetime Achievement
Award years later and his residency in Las
Vegas would begin there hanging with the Rat
