110 years ago today, December 12, 1915 (November 6, 1915 in the lunar calendar), the famous American singer Frank was born. Since the 1980s, one of the English songs most familiar and loved by young people in China is "My Own Way", which was sung by Frank Sinatra, the most famous singer and actor in the United States. And this masterpiece is indeed a true portrayal of his life. In May 1998, Frank died of a heart attack at the age of 82, ending his legendary life. He is a close friend of many U.S. presidents, an Italian-American hero, an Oscar-winning film actor, and the first youth icon in popular culture. Frank was born on December 12, 1915, in Hoboken, New Jersey. The doctor who delivered him penetrated his eardrum with obstetric forceps and left a scar behind his ear forever. His mother's name is Natalie, but most people call her Dolly, and she had the greatest impact on her son's early life. His father, Martin, was an illiterate boxer and later became a firefighter. Because Frank was the only child in the family, Dory took good care of him and fed and dressed him well even during the Great Depression. At the age of 15, Frank was expelled from school because of his bad temper, and at the age of 16 he began singing in the local dance hall. The first big turning point in his career came in 1935, when the songs sung by the "Hoboken Four", his ensemble group with three other singers, were played on the local radio station, causing a sensation. After Frank became a real singer, he married his childhood sweetheart Nancy Babato, in 1939. At first, Frank signed a two-year singing contract with the band's manager Harry James, but his outstanding talent quickly attracted the attention of more managers. Within half a year, he switched jobs and signed with Tommy Dorsey, with a greatly improved salary. Soon he released his first classic song "I'll Never Smile Again", and then released a series of famous songs one after another. In 1941, at the age of 25, Frank was named the best band lead singer by Billboard magazine. But Frank was not satisfied. He wanted to be the best. So he left the band and started flying solo. In 1944, when he was performing at the Paramount Theater in New York, 30,000 girls who couldn't buy tickets frantically stormed Times Square, smashed shop windows, blocked traffic, and clashed fiercely with hundreds of police officers. Not long after, a congressman called Frank "the main instigator of juvenile delinquency." People can see his great power from this. During World War II, Frank was exempted from military service because of a perforated eardrum. Although he did not sing for soldiers like most actors, his career was booming with the support of Italian-Americans. Babato bore him three children: Nancy, Frank and Tina. In 1944, Frank signed a contract with Michael Sea Company to go to Hollywood to make movies. Among Frank's lovers were several famous actresses. Due to the quarrels, he committed suicide several times, but none of them succeeded. Later, he changed his singing style, adding a sense of sadness and sadness to his voice. Frank's last wife was named Barbara, and in her Frank found the gentleness and tranquility he had been waiting for. After his health deteriorated significantly, she took good care of him and never left him around. For decades, Frank has been active on the stage and screen. His songs have influenced the growth of generations. Although there are many talents on the singing stage, there are really few people like him who have endured for a long time. In 1995, at the age of 80, Frank made his last stage. Many popular young female singers performed with him and was later recorded as a duet album. Frank's son and eldest daughter both inherited his career and became actors, and the younger daughter was responsible for maintaining his reputation and portrait rights. His death was very sudden. He was in good condition that day, and his wife Barbara went out alone to have dinner with friends. She suddenly received a phone call. By the time she rushed to the hospital, Frank was already in a critical state. The last words of this man who has been fighting and defeating life all his life were: "I am going to lose." He died in the arms of his wife, and his children did not have time to say goodbye to him, leaving him with permanent regret.
