Slide3Frank before the fame (Early years)
On Dec 12th of 1915, Francis Albert Sinatra was born to his Italian immigrant parents. Francis’s father worked in the fire department as a firefighter and his mother was a non-professional singer. He grew up in the city of Hoboken, New Jersey in a mostly Italian American neighborhood. His first major musical experience was when, on his 15th birthday, his uncle bought him a ukulele. From watching Bing Crosby, another popular 20th century singer/songwriter, Francis was inspired to take up singing lessons. Frank went to Northern Valley Regional High School and sang in the glee club at the school, but he later dropped out of school. Frankie decided to instead focus on his musical career instead of his academics. Frankie joined a band that was originally a trio and was renamed the Hoboken Four. After a bit of touring the band disbanded and Frank started his solo career that would lead him into stardom.

Slide6Frankie’s Global impact
Frank was awarded a spot in the Grammy museum that is currently located in Los Angeles. Some would say that Frank Sinatra was the one to start the whole "rock 'n roll" attitude. His run-ins with the law, womanizing, and alcohol use set an example for many rockers and musical artist in general that came after him. He also made people look more towards the singer. People in the early 20th century were at first only interested in the music and not the person making it. Frank's statue allowed for people to see the man behind the music and thus idolize or reject him as they saw fit. This would lead to the idolization of many who came after him because by that point it was just common to go crazy whenever you heard their music or saw them. Francis’s song ‘My Way’ has been covered by over 50 artists such as Elvis, Seth McFarlane, and Robbie Williams. Lot of people have tried to copy his style, voice, and attitude. In a way he was also an
advocate
for civil rights If he worked with someone who was black, as he did many times in his career, he wanted them to be just as protected as he was. They were treated with just as much respect as their lighter skinned counterparts thanks to Sinatra. This might’ve lead to others to do the same respect for many other black artists in the near future.
