Weird Scenes Week 93 (3/23/23): Come Fly With The Chairman of the Bored - The Films of Frank Sinatra
Manage episode 358776519 series 3023087
Born Francis Albert Sinatra in lovely downtown Hoboken, NJ, Frank so idolized 1930s swing singer and the man they coined the term "crooner" over, Bing Crosby, that he decided not only to emulate his hero, but to effectively BECOME him in the eyes of the American public. And for all intents and purposes, he succeeded.
Possessed of a lighter, more lyric tenor with an amazing degree of breath control, Sinatra, even before becoming a stylist par excellence (to this day, mostly unparalleled) matched his predecessor in wooing temporary wartime widows and proto-bobby soxers alike, and may in fact have topped his idol in building a tremendous following of mostly female fans. They were the Elvises or Beatles of their day, only Frank, unlike the others, improved his craft throughout the 50s, becoming an American icon.
But his success wasn't limited to the world of music - like Elvis (who we also did a show on,) he further found himself drawn into the world of filmmaking, holding his own against some of the greats of his era and even producing and directing a few along the way.
So join us as we delve into the life and career of the epitome of swingin' style, the one and only Frank Sinatra!
