Entertainer of a Life Time - Frank Sinatra

dr dre beats on tour, Ol\' Blue Eyes, the Chairman of the Board, and the man everyone could recognize as simply \"The Voice\": That was dr dre beats on tour Francis Albert Sinatra. Born on December 12, 1915 in Hoboken, New Jersey, Sinatra was the son of a fire-fighting boxer and a politically-driven mother.

To anyone examining Frank\'s legacy, it seems his career spanned the entire 1900s - a accolade that isn\'t far off the truth at all. Sinatra was a singer, award-winning actor, and a director and producer of both film and music. When he died in 1998, the world lost one its most famous and most talented icons.

Sinatra started out his life wanting to be a professional sportswriter. It wasn\'t until hearing Bing Crosby on the radio that a young Sinatra decided to give singing a try. Around the time WWII started, Sinatra\'s singing career began to take off.

He would develop a reputation for being a fast-living, mean-spirited \"rock star\" of his age, along with being known as a notorious ladies man. It was his \"I\'m in charge\" attitude that earned him the Chairman nickname.

Sinatra was the first musical act that had girls actually swooning over him. Although later acts like The Beatles and Elvis would top Sinatra\'s popularity worldwide, it\'s still an unprecedented statistic that Frank drew his crowds in by singing classics, and not rock and roll music. He\'s the best-known vocalist of the entire Swing genre.

Throughout the 1950s, it was rumored that Sinatra had ties with mafia figures. Some chalk this up to nothing more than anti-Italian discrimination, but his dr dre beats on tour gambling habits, bar-room fights, and manner of dress all led people to believe that Sinatra was secretly an acting member of the mob.

Sinatra started an extremely successful movie career, appearing in classics like From Here to Eternity and Guys and Dolls. In the 1960s, Sinatra joined forces with a few popular acts of the day, including his close friend, Dean Martin, as well as Sammy Davis, Jr., Joey Bishop and Peter Lawford.

Together, the group dr dre beats on tour they formed was called The Rat Pack. The group dynamic was incredible; The Rat Pack played sell-out shows across the whole country, offering a blend of comedy and music.
