Francis Albert "Frank" Sinatra born on December 12, 1915 was an American singer, musician, actor and filmmaker. His singing carreer lasted for 60 years but faced several crises. At first, he was known as a singer of love songs. By the 1950's and 60's he was also singing jazz and swing songs. At those times he was also a member of informal group called Rat Pack.
As a person, he was nervous and high-handed - vicious to his enemies but kind and gentle to his friends. He was married four times but he never showed his affection.
On May 14, 1998 all lights in Las Vegas went out as a sign of death of "Ol' Blue Eyes" as Sinatra was called. He died after suffering a heart attack with his wife, Barbara Marx at his side.
The New York Times declared him to be "the first modern popstar"
