Francis Albert Sinatra  (December 12, 1915 – May 14, 1998) was an American singer and actor.  Nicknamed  the "Chairman of the Board" and "Ol' Blue Eyes", he is regarded as one of the  most popular entertainers of the 20th century. Sinatra is among the  world's best-selling music artists, with an estimated 150 million record sales globally. Born to  Italian immigrants  in  Hoboken, New Jersey, Sinatra began his musical career in the  swing era  and was influenced by the easy-listening vocal style of  Bing Crosby. He joined the  Harry James  band as the vocalist in 1939 before finding success as a solo artist after signing with  Columbia Records  four years later, becoming the idol of the "bobby soxers". In 1946, Sinatra released his debut album,  The Voice of Frank Sinatra. He then signed with  Capitol Records  and released several albums with arrangements by  Nelson Riddle, notably  In the Wee Small Hours  (1955) and  Songs for Swingin' Lovers!  (1956). In 1960, Sinatra left Capitol Records to start his own record label,  Reprise Records, releasing a string of successful albums. He collaborated with  Count Basie  on  Sinatra-Basie: An Historic Musical First  (1962) and  It Might as Well Be Swing  (1964). In 1965, he recorded  September of My Years  and starred in the  Emmy-winning television special  Frank Sinatra: A Man and His Music. After releasing  Sinatra at the Sands  the following year, Sinatra recorded one of his most famous collaborations with  Tom Jobim,  Francis Albert Sinatra & Antonio Carlos Jobim. It was followed by 1968's  Francis A. & Edward K.  with  Duke Ellington. Sinatra retired in 1971 following the release of "My Way" but came out of retirement two years later. He recorded several albums and released "New York, New York" in 1980.

Sinatra also forged a highly successful acting career. After winning the  Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor  for  From Here to Eternity  (1953), he starred in  The Man with the Golden Arm  (1955) and  The Manchurian Candidate  (1962). Sinatra also appeared in musicals such as  On the Town  (1949),  Guys and Dolls  (1955),  High Society  (1956), and  Pal Joey  (1957), which won him a  Golden Globe Award. Toward the end of his career, Sinatra frequently played detectives, including the title character in  Tony Rome  (1967). He received the  Golden Globe Cecil B. DeMille Award  in 1971. Sinatra also directed the anti-war film  None but the Brave  (1965). On television,  The Frank Sinatra Show  began on  CBS  in 1950, and Sinatra continued to make appearances on television throughout the 1950s and 1960s. Sinatra was recognized at the  Kennedy Center Honors  in 1983, awarded the  Presidential Medal of Freedom  in 1985, and received the  Congressional Gold Medal  in 1997. He earned 11  Grammy Awards, including the  Grammy Trustees Award,  Grammy Legend Award, and the  Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award. American music critic  Robert Christgau  called Sinatra "the greatest singer of the 20th century" and he continues to be regarded as an iconic figure.
