Frank Sinatra: The One and Only

About this course:

Frank Sinatra never needed an introduction when he appeared in nightclubs, saloons, on concert stages, or on movie screens. Sinatra was always the center of attention. Through various stories and video clips, we look at this complicated man’s life from his humble beginnings in Hoboken, New Jersey to ‘New York, New York’, to Hollywood. He was known as ‘the voice, the ‘chairman of the board’ or ‘Ol’ Blue Eyes’. Whatever the title, he was the defining voice of the twentieth century and the most celebrated entertainer of his time. It's been almost twenty years since his six-decade career ended and yet his voice is still very much with us every day. In fact, it probably will be as long as songs continue to be sung. He is “Sinatra – The One and Only.”Frank Sinatra never needed an introduction when he appeared in nightclubs, saloons, on concert stages, or on movie screens.
