FRANK SINATRA ,
Francis Albert Sinatra was acclaimed by Down Beat last year as the singer of the year the rst time such an accolade had been given him since 1947. The intervening years saw the plaudits and honors-and the money go to younger and rela- tively lesser~known young men who sing popular songs 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 warbling business 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 odd chores in the entertainment world. But his work is accepted and enjoyed, frankly, with a touch of nos- talgia. He is the old master, admittedly great, but no longer the object of mass adulation and the toter-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 other branches of the arts, no longer keeps ecstatic wo- men glued to the loudspeakers as he did a quarter of a century ago. The days of the neatly-parted curly locks and the megaphone are gone forever. The thing that puts Frank Sinatra in a class by himself these days is that almost unheard-of accom- plishment a true comeback. Not in the sense that Frankie has recaptured those early war days when

In 1936, Frank went to a movie that featured As part of his preparation for a singing career Frankie also appeared on local radio programs over Bing Crosby, and that night he decided to become stations in Jersey City, Newark and in New York. a singer. It looked easy, it sounded like a lot of fun, Not only was he impatient for the accolades of and the well-dressed, well-fed Crosby apparently commanded a good salary. This was for Sinatra. success, but he wanted to marry his sweetheart, Nancy, who became Mrs. Sinatra in 1939. So,for With typical Sinatra thoroughness, organization stability and some measure of security, he went and planning, young Frankie mapped out his strat- to work at the Rustic Cabin, as a singing waiter, egy.

Be- fore a hushed throng of younggirls, 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 tonal quality, phrased uniquely, with rapid shifts of tension and dramatic pauses, all to the accompani- ment of teen-age voices trilling, Ooooh, Frankie," Oh, Frankie Boy! and Sing to ME, Frankie.
