FRANK SINATRA ,

Francis Albert Sinatra was acclaimed by DownBeat last year as the singer of the year�the �rsttime such an accolade had been given him since1947. The intervening years saw the plaudits andhonors-and the money�go to younger and rela-tively lesser~known young men who sing popularsongs for radio, TV and the giant recording indus-try. And hereby hangs a tale. "

Until quite recently, it was getting. to be a habit-to refer to some of the oldtimers in the warblingbusiness as��You know, people like Vallee, Cros-by and Sinatra." Of course, Bing is still around,still making with the. pipes in a variety of oddchores in the entertainment world. But his work isaccepted and enjoyed, frankly, with a touch of nos-talgia. He is the old master, admittedly great, butno longer the object of mass adulation and thetoter-home of honorary gold records�those sym-bols of fabulous discs which sell over a million cop-ies. And of course, the Connecticut Yankee, al-though an energetic and competent dabbler in otherbranches of the arts, no longer keeps ecstatic wo-men glued to the loudspeakers as he did a quarterof a century ago. The days of the neatly-partedcurly locks and the megaphone are gone forever.

The thing that puts Frank Sinatra in a class byhimself these days is that almost unheard-of accom-plishment�a true comeback. Not in the sense thatFrankie has recaptured those early war days when

e ls to bee, or the second time in hiscareer, the hottesthing in show business.

UMETOWN: HUBUKENFrancis Albert Sinatra was born in1917 in Hoboken, New Jersey. An onlychild of Anthony and Natalie Sinatra,who came to America from their na-tive Italy, little Frankie spent his busyand combative childhood in the townof his birth. Although his success inthe highly competitive world of showbusiness has always been a source ofgreat pride for his parents, it was notthe career they had planned for theironly son. It was their dream that

young Sinatra would grow up to be-come a famous civil engineer. Per-haps the world has missed a beautifulbridge or two without engineer Sin-atra, but it could have missed muchmore�-the intimate pleasure evokedby a romantic tenor in untold mil-lions of fans.Singing was not a life-long ambitionfor Frankie. Although he belonged to

the Glee Club of Demarest HighSchool, and engaged in a pro�tablemusical sideline as a student, his real,down-to-earth ambition was to becomea newspaper man. He got a job, afterschool hours, working on the deliverytruck of the Hudson Observer. Heliked the newspaper business so muchthat he later quit school and went towork full-time as a copy boy. Intelli-gent, ambitious and energetic, thecopy job was soon left behind whenhe took over as sports reporter.

While in high school, Frank won trophies forswimming, basketball and track. He considers histriumphs as a swimmer as especially important tothe formation of his character. As a child he dis-covered that he could go in the ocean without ex-periencing a choking terror.

His favorite exercise, though, is boxing. Boxingcame naturally for him, probably because of a fam-ily tradition. His father, whose profession was �re-�ghting, was an outstanding boxer under the nameof Marty O&#39;Brien, and his uncle was the well-knownBabe Segar. A lot of people have been fooled bySinatra&#39;s skinny frame. But his body is 125 poundsof hard, coordinated muscle that can move in light-ning-like motions with a lot of the old one-twopunch behind it. Frank has retained his avid inter-est in sports, and today is one of the best-informedfans of the baseball world. And he also makes amost creditable showing on the bowling alleys.

In high school Frankie also collected pop orches-

tral arrangements, which he rented to local bandsand high school combos. The fee was modest, butthe contractural arrangements included the serv-ices of one Frank Sinatra as the featured vocalist�at another modest fee. Later he expanded andpurchased a public address system, which wasrented along with arrangements and his servicesas a singer. Then he collected three fees!

THE HIIBIIKEN FIJUR

In 1936, Frank went to a movie that featuredBing Crosby, and that night he decided to becomea singer. It looked easy, it sounded like a lot of fun,and the well-dressed, well-fed Crosby apparentlycommanded a good salary. This was for Sinatra.With typical Sinatra thoroughness, organizationand planning, young Frankie mapped out his strat-egy. First, he formed a group known as the Ho-boken Four. They picked up the necessary experi-ence, and some small change, by singing for privateparties.

In those days, one of the most popular radioprograms was the famous Amateur Hour presidedover by Major Bowes. Although the thousands ofunknowns who appeared before the Ma jor�s micro-phones are, by and large, still unknown, a few ofhis amateur performers went on to success as pro-fessionals. It was the logical and most convenientway to break into show business in the depressionyears.

When the Hoboken Four appeared on the Hour,Frankie sang Night and Day and was applaudedLnto �rst prize. The prize included a cross-countrytour with one of the Major�s many traveling units.It, provided wonderful experience for the youngtroubador, but before many months had passed, hegot terribly homesick for his native Hoboken, quitthe troupe, and returned home.

i&#39;,|illSTlli. UABINAs part of his preparation for a singing career

Frankie also appeared on local radio programs overstations in Jersey City, Newark and in New York.Not only was he impatient for the accolades ofsuccess, but he wanted to marry his sweetheart,Nancy, who became Mrs. Sinatra in 1939. So, forstability and some measure of security, he wentto work at the Rustic Cabin, as a singing waiter,for the steady salary of $25.00 a week. Thus in1938, at the age of 21, Frank Sinatra settled down.Five years later, he was earning $25,000 a week!

Those were the lean years for Sinatra. He hadmarried Nancy and he remembers especially oneevening when Nancy had a yen for a ham sand-wich and a piece of apple pie. That happened ona night when Frankie didn&#39;t have a penny in hisp0cket�-a week before the birth of their �rst baby.So Frank went up and down the hallways of the

apartment house where they lived and collectedall the discarded empty pop bottles he could �nd.The turn-in money bought his wife her sandwichand pie.

Not long after that an important occurrencetook place in the life of Singer Sinatra. Frank, avoracious reader, has always had a great belief inFate he cites a John Galsworthy theme�~thatone accidental, unplanned move can completelychange a man�s life!. This is what happened. Mon-day night was his usual o�-night from the RusticCabin, but one week the girl singer asked him, asa special favor, to take Tuesday off. So Frankiesang on Monday night�the night band leaderHarry James walked into the place, heard Sinatraand immediately signed him up for $75.00 a week,three times his current salary!

DURSEY �AND I

That was the �rst boost up the ladder to success.It wasn�t long before the next one came. The Jamesband was playing in Los Angeles, and TommyDorsey heard the new singer, liked him and imme-diately offered him $150.00 a week�-double hissalary. Harry James advised Frankie to take theo�&#39;er, because the Dorsey out�t could offer himmore opportunities. At �rst, Frank appeared asI4

one of the Pied Pipers vocal group, and later wasgiven a featured soloist&#39;s spot. Some of the oldDorsey records, with vocals by Frank Sinatra, arenow collector&#39;s items.

The war came along and Frank, although ofdraft age, was automatically classi�ed as 4-F be-cause of a punctured ear drum. He was goinggreat guns with Dorsey, his name appeared moreoften in the columns of the entertainment papers,and the crowds that showed up for their personalappearances were displaying more and more en-thusiasm for the slight young vocalist. In 1942Sinatra started out on his own. He had a CBSradio show called Songs by Sinatra.

SWAMI UF SWUIJNThere followed a four-year period in which

America was the scene of the greatest demonstra-tions of fan idolatry the world had ever seen. Be-fore a hushed throng of young girls, plus the in-evitable newspaper reporters out for good copy,Frankie took his microphone and sang the pop-ular ballads of the day . . . with a liquid tonalquality, phrased uniquely, with rapid shifts oftension and dramatic pauses, all to the accompani-ment of teen-age voices trilling, �Ooooh, Frankie,"�Oh, Frankie Boy!� and �Sing to ME, Frankie.�On good authority, a sizeable number of his audi-ence fainted. Learned articles appeared in schol-arly journals. Columnists turned aside from analyz-ing the war to spend considerable time and thoughton the sociological implications of this new phe-nomenon. The wits had a lovely time of it, andthe radio comedians counted their success by thenumber of Sinatra jokes their writers came upwith. The obvious parallel was drawn: not sincethe days of Rudolph Valentino�-not even in thefabulous era of crooners Bing Crosby and RudyVallee--had the country witnessed such massiveand explicit adoration for an entertainment �gure.A born showman with a lot of talent after sev-

eral years of experience had hit his stride as anentertainer. Here was a consciously informal youngman who, with excellent control of his exceedinglypleasant voice, had worked out an individual pat-

tern for presenting a song. He chose the best songsto sing�and soon commanded the best fees, be-cause he commanded the biggest audience.

One night Robert Weitman, Manager of the Para-mount Theatre, journeyed over to Newark, NewJersey, to investigate �rst hand a report that teen-agers were shouting and fainting over the intimatevocalism of a newcomer. Weitman was impressed,and Frankielwas signed for a four-week run on thesame bill with Benny Goodman. It was a sell-out,month at the Paramount. A short time later, Sin-atra went back to the Paramount at $7500.00 aweek . . . three hundred times his salary a shortsix years before! And that was only the beginning.

During some of the war years Sinatra grossedwell over a million dollars. His Columbia recordswere consistently best sellers. He appeared as guestartist at symphony concerts. He appeared in aseries of money-making motion pictures�and sur-prised everyone by demonstrating an ability todance and a �air for comedy.

Back in 1943, at the height of the bobby-soxers�Sinatra craze, Newsweek magazine had rhetor-ically asked, �Will the Voice fade out as a short-lived phenomenon, or will it settle down as a na-tional institution?� Throughout the war years, itlooked as if the answer were��a National Institu-tion.� In 1945 Sinatra was still where he had beensince l942»at the top.

THE |N!BETWEENl vans1946 came and with it the apparent

good fortunes of Frank Sinatra cameto a screeching halt. The suddennessof his fall from the heights of popularsuccess was much faster than his riseto the top of the heap. A lot of peoplediscovered simultaneously that FrankSinatra was washed up. In the thou-sands of music shops that used to sell�Sinatras" like hot cakes, his recordscollected nothing but dust and the un-complimentary remarks of the storemanagers . . . Suddenly there were nomore club dates. About the only workSinatra got in the clubs was of a pugi-listic nature, if you believed the gos-sip columnists. And Metro GoldwynMayer apparently thought they had ahas-been on their hands. The studiofailed to take up the option on hiscontract.

In the next six years, the only thing that stillcame Sinatra�s way was publicity. He got plentyof that. It was not the carefully planned, informa-tive handouts of paid publicists. It was not part ofa carefully arranged build-up to sell records, ormovies, or personal appearances. It was unsched-uled, o��-the-cuff news reporting-�and the reportershad a �eld day. Here was a name that almost

everybody recognized, and its owner was appar-ently doing things that the public had been ledto believe he never could.His marriage to his school-days sweetheart,Nancy, hit the rocks. He was beset with the moneytroubles that could be expected when a regularincome of a million dollars annually dries up atthe source. It wasn&#39;t that Sinatra was broke. Ap-

parently his sense of organization, ef�ciency andplanning took care of much of his money, andthere is no evidence that Frank was entirely with-out funds during this period. However, there were�scal difficulties aplenty. Then for a headline-�lledtwo years he followed Ava Gardner across severalcontinents. They made it to the altar in 1951. Atlast reports a divorce is in the works, although asof now they are just separated. New headlines nowreveal what seems to be a Sinatra-Gloria Vander-bilt romance in the making.Of course, Sinatra was the target for every pot-shotting reporter in the business. He remainedgood copy. Some of the publicity was not good.According to Sinatra, some of it was downrightuntrue, and he took personal steps to correct mis-

taken impressions when the occasion permitted . . .much to the sorr w and abused muscles of severalmembers of the fourth estate. All this didn�t helphis career�~what little there was left of it. A Tele-vision show over CBS was dropped in 1951. Itbegan to look as if The Voice was a thing of theFrank Sinatra and Ava Gardner o�on one of their many trips abroad.

It just seemed that to the public.Actually it was the result of work, concentration,and an unbounded faith in his own abilities at atime when the world believed Sinatra incapable ofholding his own, much less scaling new heights.And although the turning point appeared to be themovie called From Here To Eternity, it was not themovie alone that suddenly wiped the dust fromrecord jackets labeled Sinatra. The movie was im-portant, for many reasons, to the career of FrankSinatra � but before we talk about that, let�s back-track a little and see what The Voice was doing in1952, a full year before he won the coveted Oscarfor acting.

UHUWN PRINCE UF SUNS&#39; In 1952, Frank completed 12 years with Columbia

Records. Back in the early forties, when he wasknown as the Crown Prince of Song, Sinatra sangwith the best orchestras in the business. His musicwas written by the �nest composers. And his lyrics which received such individualized treatment�from the young singer! were penned by writerswhose namesappear again and again on the socalled standards of popular music.-_ Frank himself says, �I was weaned on the bestpop music ever written -�- Mercer, Berlin, Ham-merstein; and it was played by bands like Dorseyand James."

Toward the end of his twelve years with Co-�llimbia, the industry was in a gimmick phase._E .very record had to be built around a cute sound,odd switch At least one yell, scream, cry, sob,pressing Admittedly, some of the eo le

contortions. But it wasn�t the sort of thingvoice He was the singer who gave personal

�nal choice of songs was up to the company.Frankie remembers that on one side he barked likea dog. He didn&#39;t like the idea, he didn&#39;t want to doit. But he was in show business, this was a businessdeal, so he barked like a dog.Then one day C0lumbia�s Mitch Miller said,�Tomorrow, Frankie, we�ll do one with a ,wash-board.�

Sinatra&#39;s snappy rejoinder was, �You�re kid-ding!"

Miller, it seems, was de�nitely not kidding. Andthat was the beginning of the end. Sinatra refusedto accompany a wash board and allow them to labelit music. There was, he felt, littlelfiiture in suchshenanigans. _ .,�Sure, there�s a fast buck in the echo chambers,�he said, referring to the craze for gimmicks. "Butit cant last.� Apparently the Old Master knewwhat he was talking about. � " &#39;pg�.

cessful commercial enterprise. It was a vindicationof Sinatra&#39;s basic good taste and often-expressedbelief that popular music is still music, and mustbe treated with respectful consideration of rhythm,melody and phrasing.

It wasn�t long after Songs For Young Lovers wasreleased that Capitol, naturally, began" thinkingabout a new Sinatra album. Branch managers,salesmen and dealers reported that Sinatra fans hadre-appeared in sizeable droves and were makingfrequent requests for more recordings. In fact, theywere demanding �another Sinatra album just likethe �rst one." However, Sinatra�s Capitol advisersfelt that a sequel would probably enjoy about thesame success as the �rst one � and they wanted totop the �rst album in sales.They met with Sinatra and asked his opinion.

Several ideas were discussed and discarded. Theyagreed that the second album should be a contrast.The answer, then, seemed to be a more rhythmictreatment of the songs. The next question was,"How will they be orchestrated?� Since Sinatra.had proved, with the �rst album, that he knew whathe was talk� g about when it came to instruments-_tion, they dlgferred to his opinion. Frank has longbeen a fan of the Red Norvo-Mildred Bailey bandof the late 1930�s. They played over some of the old

seemed a little dated for modern consumption, thef 1;,�mood of polite swing which the old band -pu.rveyed"""&#39;was exactly what Sinatra had in mind. ~ ._ -e Q.-ff -;._,� = &#39; Nelson Riddle was again called in and_ he workedf ii?�

rhythm, 1 trumpet, 3 trombones, and vibes. It wastested and discovered that this instrumentation pro-

- vided the desired swing, but was not so obtrusiveas to detract from the featured lyrics.The tunes for the second album were chosen by

a" process of elimination, Sinatra making the �nalchoice on the basis of what he thought his fanswould most enjoy. As in the �rst album, the songshad to stand the test of musical merit. They hadto be songs which had not been overdone and pos-sess lyrics suited to the special Sinatra treatment.Nelson Riddle was assigned the task of making the�nal arrangement and conducting, and the record-ing sessions were held in April of 1954. When thealbum was released it immediately jumped into thebest-seller lists.&#39; Shortly thereafter, Sinatra appeared in a guest

spot in a television Spectacular. The rest of theshow was produced in New York, but Sinatra&#39;sportion came out of Hollywood. For almost halfan hour, working with very simple sets, and work-ing on camera alone, Sinatra sang Songs For YoungLovers and held the audience enthralled. The re-views for weeks discussed th bs ip t e marvelous sense of timing, the artistry and "-sincerity of the �new� Frank Sinatra. In a sense,..it-was a new Sinatra _ more mature, with a sure: ll &#39;grasp of the technique of holding an audience ,withI&#39;_ ia change of pace. But in many ways, it was only the *

_" We have told you about the �rst two CapitolAlbums because they illustrate the meticulous at-tention to detail and rigid insistence on qualitywhich Sinatra demands and are one of the prin-cipal reasons for their success. Sinatra is a goodshowman. And contrary to popular ideas, showmenare not just born. They are born with some degreeof talent and a natural propensity to perform, that&#39;strue. But to achieve the heights, there must also belong periods of hard work and training, practical,down-to-earth experience, and that spark of some-thing that produces above-human energy, super-human faith, tremendous courage. Of all these,faith in onels own ability is the most distinguishing.&#39;"*.These qualities Sinatra has demonstrated.

inevitable result of failures on other people�s parts.Perhaps he was owned by too many people with toomany varied ideas. They talked instead of listening.It was not that Sinatra failed in his own powers asan entertainer, but that they tried to mold an artistinto forms and shapes that distorted his essentialvalue as a performer, his own distinctive individ-uality. Because when the opportunity arose -�- andSinatra made his own opportunity -� he provedthat his judgment was better than that of the spe-cialists and authorities. And he proved that his faithin his own ability, not the doubting rejections of hissuperiors, was true in another and more spectacular�eld than singing. The story of his capabilities as aserious actor is becoming a legend in the world of_show business. It bears a brief repeat.3818 Melody of Love. . .l�m Gonna Live Till I Die S

mum HERE T0 iiimitiiiSinatra is a voracious reader. He reads a wide

range of subject matter, he reads quickly but com-prehensively. When James Jones� best-sellin g novelwas published, Frank read the powerful story ofpre-World War II soldiers and soldiering. Immedi-ately, he felt that Maggio was a close friend. His�rst reaction was, �I know the guy. Why, I wentto school with him!� The tough little Italian-American, violent, funny and sour, belligerent, combativeand sensitive . . . yes, it could have been FrancisAlbert Sinatra, lately of Hoboken, son of a �re-man who boxed, son of Italians.

Even before the announcement was made thatHollywood would �lm the dramatic story, Sinatrabegan a persistent campaign to bring himself, asa potential Maggio, to the attention of all possibleproducers. They either laughed at him, talked withfatherly �rmness about the utter impossibility ofhis playing such a role, or dismissed the suggestionas a not-too~funny joke.His personal promotion campaign paid off in theend. His consummate faith in himself was well re-warded. When producer Buddy Adler began cast-ing, Frank heard about it, even though he was atthe time in Africa, where his wife was on locationfor a picture. At his own expense, he �ew to Holly-wood, demanded a test for the part of Ma g gio � and

- then, without a word of promise, �ew back to�Africa. Everything was in the hands of his agents.

And so the wheel of fortune turned a full circle.Back from oblivion came the magic name of Sin-atra, back to occupy its old place of eminence inthe music world . . . and at the same time win newluster in the more demanding �eld of serious acting-� to win, for his �rst performance, the top criticalaccolades of members of the movie profession.Quite a trip for the ex-sportswriter!Other movie producers were after him. He waspermitted the prerogatives of the proved actor ~�he could choose his roles. After Eternity came Sun-denly, in which he was critically acclaimed for hisperformance. He made a wonderful musical withlovely Doris Day called Young At Heart, and NotAs A Stranger is scheduled for release later in �55.And now plans are under way for Sinatra to playthe famous Nathan Detroit in the movie version ofGuys and Dolls. No actor wants to be typed, al-though that is the fate of most of them in Holly-wood. Sinatra has proved that he is capable of a- wide range of roles, from romantic comedy to heavyY psychological tragedy, and with that proof inl evidence he has been able to select the roles hewants. --

rm» trim wnninSuch questions do not bother the successful

Sinatra. He has a philosophy. Like him, it isstrai;fhtforward and direct.

�The trick is, when you&#39;re clown, don�t quit.� A�ghters thought to live by - and above all else,Sinatra is a �ghter.

The Crown Prince of Song has grown up. Helooks better, sings better, performs better. If he isnot happy, he is at least content, with the deep sat-isfying contentment that comes with knowledge ofdoing a dif�cult job and doing it well. He workshard, forti�es himself with seven doughnuts andseven cups of co�ee each morning his lucky num-ber is seven . . . all �ghters are superstitious!. Andalthough he lives quietly, perhaps in loneliness, hisapt description of the present state of affairs isphrased with happy cogency, �Man, I�m on top ofthe world! I�m buoyant!"

Time magazine, in its last issue in 1954, reported;"The imagazine Downbeat Everything in theWorld about the World of Music! published itsannual reader&#39;s popularity poll last week, decidedthat �this was the year� of Frank Sinatra.� He wonthe Downbeat vote as America�s favorite pop singer for the �rst time since 1947! and also as the topmale pop-record personality of the year. All this. . . in addition to his prize-winning film perform-ances and best-selling records and albums.

The Crown Prince of Song reigns again.63
