[@jadezee6316]

lol...Sinatra did NOT have a rough life....he had more than anyone in his neighborhood...the best clothes...money in his pocket and the latest hi fi equipment which was actually the real reason he was part of a singing group...he supplied the music....

[@folsominc2]

What exactly was his rough life? The fact that he treated women like crap and on film too? The fact that he had mobster friends that could Grease the wheels for him? The fact that despite his singing voice leaving after the Columbia years he still was popular when he had no voice left? The fact that he helped the gangsters out in Las Vegas by putting on a free show for them every night for 6 weeks during the making of ocean's 11?

[@ImaSpeck2011]

My grandmother saw him in concert sometime in the early 40s. She said he was the most “magnificent looking/sounding man she had ever experienced.” She said all the girls were absolutely going nuts, screaming & fainting especially if he looked in their general direction. She was right in there with them! She got close enough to the stage that he reached out & shook her hand. She promptly fainted & security (or someone she couldn’t be sure) dragged or carried her to the lobby & dumped with all the other ditzy girls. She then promptly went home wrapped hand in bandages & refused to wash it for 3-4 weeks until her mother finally had enough. After she died we found out just how crazy about him she was.she had 3 steamer trunks full of related Sinatra stuff dating back to the 30s. She had every album he ever put out, many personal item reported to be his and enough printed material to wallpaper an entire house! It turned out to be our real inheritance & now has pride of place outside those trunks for all to enjoy… but still it’s kind of a weird story (or should I say obsession) that she collected all that crap!

[@aidanbreslin7769]

He had a tragic life? How? Because he had a short fuse and was buddies with a few mobsters? Seems like he had a pretty normal life for a star.

[@jubalcalif9100]

I agree. His life had its ups & downs (as all lives do) but I too wouldn't call it "tragic". He became of the most iconic entertainers of all time. And yes, he had to endure his fair share of pain & suffering. But most of us do. A difficult life at times....but by no means "tragic".

[@juliebergacker5680]

Yep agree with what you said!👍😱

[@ivetofta6084]

The only tragic part about his life was when he divorced Nancy for Ava and ended up falling in a deep, dark depression and a loveless marriage. He was broke and on the brink of suicide. The one thing that saved him was a side roll in “From Here to Eternity.” Of course, this wasn’t really mentioned in the video though🙄

[@HamiltonRb]

I was reading about Frank playing Carnegie Hall and was supposed to meet John Gotti for dinner after and instead went with his bodyguard Jilly Rizzo to a different restaurant saying he wasn't feeling well enough to meet him. Gotti's hitman Joe Watts came up to their table and told him that the next time John sends for you and you make up an excuse, I will be the last face you ever see.

[@wick_04]

It may not appear tragic at first glance, but it was most likely. Someone could have all of the recognition and success to fulfill them, but that doesn’t solve all the other issues in their lives. I don’t think Frank was drinking alcohol like water, had a short fuse, and was “friends” with mob guys because his personal life was extraordinary. There’s no doubt his professional life was incredible, he is legendary, incredible influence on artists and music even after his death.

I grew up admiring Sinatra and still do to some extent. But it gets more difficult the more I learn about the man. He had talent both as a singer and actor and was generous to many. But, like most of us, he had character flaws. It's not surprising but it is disappointing. Hero worship can do that. I used to admire DiMaggio too. But, for his talent. Not much else.

OK.. but you admire him of his talents, everyone has flaws.. trust me he was in the heyday of the mob when he came out so even if he didn't want to be with the mob he would've been strong armed either way.. better to be on good terms and praised.. people glorify informants who are murderers and just testified because jail time was too much. Now, they have lucrative podcasts off the strength of the "LIFE" they left.. no, they miss it and wish they could be back in it so they found a way to lol

[@nickpaine]

@@boxscorebroadcast6791 You make a good point; it would have been hard for Sinatra to ignore mobsters who owned or controlled venues in which he was hired to perform. But he could have been more careful about appearing to chum-up to organized crime bosses.

[@brendanjobe6895]

I admired Joe D both as a person and a baseball player. I do not hold them to the same moral standards as I do, for instance, great preachers like N. B. Hardeman. Religiously, both Frank and Joe D. were pretty much nothing - and should be held to the low moral standards of the group with which they associated.

I worked with Mr. Sinatra on his very first Jerry Lewis Telethon appearance. I found him extremely professional and respected the crew and band members. After the studio went dark, and cameras capped, he was cracking jokes with everyone. He asked Jerry Lewis "How much you making out there (Vegas)" Jerry said "A million, six". Mr. Sinatra said "Oh, i got that on me!" After his final appearence for that Telethon, I handed him a 3/4" copy of his performances in stereo. He was so appreciative b slapped me on the side if my face and said "Thanks kid" To me he was a very nice guy

He dodged the draft. A lot of guys who died fighting in World War Two, or who served and lived through that war knew what a difficult life- was - as well as real hardship and loneliness. All glory to those brave men. My favorite song was “ IN THE WEE HOURS OF THE MORNING.”

John Wayne dodged it, too, but wore a uniform so often in films that he confused the public... not a very difficult thing to do.

[@brendanjobe6895]

@@akrenwinkle Joe Wayne didn't dodge anything. He was 34 years old when WWII broke out, and the armed forces never got to the point that they were drafting 34-yr-olds. By the time D-Day came, he was 37. The reason I know is that my grandfather (born 1910) came close to being drafted. Joe D was not even considered for the armed services due to the fact that he was a national treasure in 1942, and his loss would have been a terrible blow to American morale.

[@akrenwinkle]

@@brendanjobe6895 You can go back and edit all you want, but you wrote "Joe Wayne." Twice, in fact. That is how little you know about Wayne, or, for that matter, World War Two. Draft age was 18 to 45. "Joe" was considered. That is why "Joe" went through multiple deferment processes, basically on the grounds that he had a wife and children to support. Oh, I see, service was only for unmarried men or men with no children? You, junior, are the result of 2 things. A broken-down public education system, but more importantly, your own lack of curiosity. You're determined not to know anything about anything, and, well... you're doing pretty good.

In today's medical world, doctors would induce labor before the pregnancy got too far, probably perform a Cesarean Section. But Frank didn't have that privilege, so he had to weather scars from the forceps on the left side of his face and ear. But inside, he had an incredible talent, which made him truly "The Voice" of the 20th Century. Good things have been said about him and lies have been told, that is usual with a famous person, there is awe and jealousy as well, and we HUMANS err, make mistakes and sometimes show our anger or other emotions and when you are in the public a lot, others will see that. But smart people will understand and forgive mis-behavior and let it go. Others make money talking about bad things that should have been let go years ago! Thus is life.

At 10:46, the biographer states that "his wife and three children were at his bedside when he died" which is completely untrue! His wife, Barbara Marx did NOT get along with his children, and kept them from being by Sinatra's bedside at his death so that she could be seen as the sole mourner. She also gave HER son valuable mementos from Sinatra's long career that were long before she ever met him, that SHOULD have gone to his children. Instead, she auctioned them off for money! She was an avaricious wife who let him know when she saw a pricey piece of jewelry in shop windows during their travels, that she wanted that piece, so he'd buy it for her. She was only valuable in that she did keep him from being alone in his elder, last years, but at a huge price!

[@akrenwinkle]

After many years of abuse, Barbara got back at Frank, even taking charge of his medication to keep him in line. More than a little irony: Early on, Frank ordered Barbara to stop smoking on the grounds that it wasn't feminine. Whereas he could smoke his head off all day. And eventually the time came when Frank became frail with several diseases, coasting on to a sad 82. Barbara, a sturdy midwestern gal, made it to 90, and her last decades, without Frank, were likely her happiest... all the trappings of wealth, without being insulted and slapped around by him.

His children were not at his bedside when he died; wife Barbara didn't tell them about the heart attack and only notified them after he had died.

This clip is just an attention grabbing caption for uninformed gossips and foolishness. He was unanimously recognized as the finest vocalist of the 20th century. He was also one helluva good actor in a wide variety of films. Topping it off to a long lasting career was his charitable philantrophic endeavors carried out without fanfare and with deep humility for those in need.

I ended up up in the ER with a near fatal heart attack in 2013 and as the Doctor was performing an angioplasty on me and implanting two stents into a blocked coronary artery "The Summer Wind " was playing. I am not kidding; the cardiologist is a Sinatra fan and had this playing as he was working to save my life. The song was always a favorite from my childhood, so when I heard it I calmed down and knew everything was going to be okay. And I'm here typing this today as evidence that is is. As an aside, this guy had all the women. The women loved him. Lucky guy.

[@robbes7rh]

Tragic? Are you kidding me? His life and career were stellar successes of epic proportions. There were some rough years toward the end, but that hardly qualifies as the sole criterion by which to evaluate him. Most nightclubs and casinos in the 50s and 60s were owned and run by the mob. These were the people who booked his shows in the most important venues. He couldn’t possible avoid being on a friendly basis with that set. It takes nothing away from the fact that he had great love and respect for his colleagues in the music business and for the public at large who attended his live shows and purchased his records. And these men, tough as they were, conducted themselves as gentlemen in their highly visible roles as nightclub owners and impresarios of entertainment. And Sinatra was known much more by the public for his warm and engaging humor than he was for his temper. The heartfelt praise that Bono conferred upon him sums up his life’s work and impact on the world in ways that resonate much more strongly with the public than the word, “tragic”, ever will.

[@albertmiller9943]

Most lives are tragic...they end in death, after a lifetime of hard work and low pay and low appreciation for our efforts. Life on Earth is, after all, a payment of debt to the supreme power. We of course, have no clue as to what our crimes were, or where they happened.

[@net1go369]

The clues are all over the place. But few want to look for them and see reality!

[@wesleytillman9774]

Sinatra had a serious case Napoleon syndrome. The featherweight singer sought power over others using money and thugs; and loved being a bully. The personality type was just a variation of Charles Manson without the mysticism. Read the Kitty Kelly bio on Sinatra for more info.

[@yankee2666]

Featherweight singer?? You poor, jealous little worm. ...Kitty Kelly? What access did she have to Sinatra's inner sanctum? What access do you have to intelligence, common sense, or appreciating great talent?

Sinatra did one great ,good thing for blacks in 1960- he visited his close friend Count Basie when his band were doing floorshows at one of the original hotel/casinos in Vegas,he found that between shows,the whole band had to stay in the dressing rooms,and afterwards were bussed out to a out of town hotel! All the casinos banned all blacks from entering. Even big stars Lena Horne, Sammy Davis had the same treatment. So Sinatra went to see the owner (one of his gangster pals) and convinced him to allow blacks in to the hotel & casino . Within a few weeks all the Vegas hotels allowed blacks to enter, stay gamble & work in them. Well done ole blue eyes !!!!
