Underrated as an actor i reckon, 4 for Texas, that one he was in with Steve McQueen and Charles Bronson was a belter, can't remember the name at the minute, war film it was. And that film where he plays a junkie is fantastic, whatsisname, The Man With the Golden Arm, brilliant film, very near to the bone for the 50s.

Hang on, this is the music section isn't it? Well what can you say about him as a singer, he was the dogs bollocks really, see people make out as if Elvis and The Beatles were the first a teenage girl ever screamed at a singer but have a listen to this guy. It's a shame that someone that was so famous has like...musical tastes have changed so much that i can't imagine a fuckin' teenager or young person, male or female getting into Sinatra, it's just so far removed from what contemporary pop is about.

Love him to bits personally. Mans music my mate Jewish Gerry used to call him, God rest his soul Odd assessment of the bobbysoxers choice but there you go.
