Frank Sinatra (1915-1998) rose to stardom as a solo artist in the early to mid 1940s. Currently he is probably most well-know for his song New York, New York. However, this song was only released in 1980. Before this song's succes, his music career had gone through a dip (1950-1953) after which a rebirth of his success followed and a retirement from music (1971-1973) followed by a comeback.
Frank Sinatra is credited with being the first singing teen-idol. Next to singing, he also appeared in several movies and musicals, some more succesful than others.
Fact: The FBI (Federal Bureau of Investigation) kept a file of close to 2500 pages on him. Apparently his alleged involvement with and ties to organized crime such as the mafia and his political ties and involvement raised suspicion.
