Frank Sinatra
(1915-98). American singer and motion-picture(películas) actor, one of the most famous American singers of his generation. Born Francis Albert Sinatra in Hoboken, New Jersey


Frrank Sinatra sang with the big bands of Harry James and Tommy Dorsey in the 1930s. Influenced by American singers Bing Crosby and Billie Holiday, Sinatra anticipated(previó, se anticipó) the decline(declive) of big-band instrumental jazz music and helped establish an enthusiastic climate(ambiente) for popular singers.


In the 1940s Sinatra embarked on(emprendió) a solo career and became the idol of so-called bobby-soxers, teenage girls who swooned(se desmayaban) over his crooning(canturreo en voz baja), soft-voiced(voz débil, dulce) singing. He appeared in such film musicals as Anchors Aweigh (1945), Till the Clouds Roll By (1947), and On the Town (1949). In 1953 he won an Academy Award for his nonsinging performance(actuación donde no cantaba) in From Here to Eternity. His performances(actuaciones) in The Manchurian Candidate (1962) and The Detective (1968) were also highly regarded(muy bien consideradas).


During the 1950s and 1960s Sinatra teamed with(formó equipo con) a number of talented jazz arrangers(arreglistas), including Nelson Riddle, Neal Hefti, Quincy Jones, and Billy May, and produced a number of albums, now regarded(considerados) as classic recordings(grabaciones), including Swing Easy (1955), In the Wee Small Hours (altas horas de la madrugada) (1955), Songs for Swingin' (marchosos)  Lovers (1956), Come Fly with Me (1958), Frank Sinatra Sings for Only the Lonely (1958), Nice 'N' (=and) Easy (1960), and Strangers in the Night (1966). In the 1960s he also recorded with the big bands of American jazz musicians Count Basie and Duke Ellington.


After a brief retirement(retiro) from 1971 to 1973, Sinatra resumed(reanudó) his singing career. In 1993 he released(lanzó, puso en circulación) the album Frank Sinatra Duets, on which many of his standard songs were engineered(organizadas electrónicamente) as duets with other famous singers. Contributors to the album included American singers Barbra Streisand and Aretha Franklin, Latin American recording star Julio Iglesias, and Bono, lead singer of the Irish rock group U2. The album sequel(secuela, continuación) Duets II (1994), which won Sinatra his ninth Grammy Award in 1996, includes collaborations with country-and-western star(estrellas del country y western) Willie Nelson, jazz singer Lena Horne, and popular singer and songwriter Neil Diamond.
