Frank Sintra, know for his astounding voice, and his fine acting. Born in Hoboken New Jersey he was the only child of Italian immigrants. His book "Try and Stop Me" said that his father was a lightweight boxer. Unfortunately Sinatra didn't graduate high school, because of his rowdy behavior he was expelled. Honestly this was a shock wo me when I first found out. He began singing for tips at the age of eight, standing on top of the bar at a local nightclub in Hoboken. Sinatra began singing professionally as a teenager in the 1930s, although he learned music by ear, he never learned how to read music. Sinatra got his first break in 1935 when his mother persuaded a local singing group to let him join. When he joined they became the Hoboken Four. He didn't stay with the group for very long, late in 1935 he cam e back home and his mother found a job for him as a singin...
I'm a random, vintage, fangirl, and lover of all things musical or instrumental.
