Sinatra also seems to have had dreams of attending Stevens Institute of Technology and becoming an engineer.
It’s too bad. He might have ended up somewhere in life...
He was a pretty good actor too.
During WWII, Stars and Stripes ran a poll of the soldiers as to their favorite singer.
It came down to Sinatra and Roy Acuff. Acuff won.
His album “September of my years” released in 1965 is one of my favorites, a great work,
I always liked Sinatra’s movies.
My Mom could not stand him. She said that when she was a phone operator in Indianapolis in the 40’s Sinatra would come to town and call up the operators from his hotel room and try to get them to come over and have sex with him. He was married at the time.
In 1938 he was arrested adultery and seduction. (When he was 21 it was a very good year)
The Capitol-Nelson Riddle era was my favorite Sinatra period.
.
Jeanne Carmen said he was a lousy lover. She probably was an expert too.
Old Blue Eyes was mafia. And Sammy Davis made Bill Cosby look like a saint.
He wasn’t a bad dancer either. I can’t remember the name of the song and dance movie he made with Gene Kelly.
Wasn’t he also a spouse abuser, aka, beater?
Mafia ties aren't that bad.
Mafia are better than communist
On the Town 1949. He had a good teacher.
The golden boy of the mob!!
[Mafia ties aren’t that bad.

I hear that crap all the time. But I wrote Harry Reid’s only biography and it is filled with mafia links. Reid and Oscar Goodman have helped destroy America, a bunch of low lifes.
You can look up Ole Blue Eyes FBI files, there isn’t any doubt.
He had Mafia friends and acquaintances but was not a member. Story goes that he was once punched by a goodfella. Frank is said to have called his Mafia buddies to ask that the offending gangster be whacked but was refused because he, Sinatra, was not a member of the Mob.
