The most popular pop star of all time, Sinatra's cross-generational appeal spans the better part of a century. A self described "saloon singer", Frank could transform himself from a regular Joe to elegant sophisticate in the span of a single song. His music continues to inspire millions of men to also identify with their tuxedoed, debonair, romantic alter egos.

Sinatra always had a considerable ability to express emotions that men have often struggled to articulate. As his career continued, this ability became even more acute. His themes of love, vulnerability and heartache had women flocking to his concerts and hoarding his records.

Influenced by crooner Bing Crosby early on, Sinatra later decided, "...to experiment a little and come up with something different. What I finally hit on was more the bel canto Italian style of singing without making a point of it." This unique vocal phrasing led to a captivating mix of swagger and bravado tempered by his trademark sensitivity and pathos.

Frank evolved beyond his image as a bobby-sox idol singing pop love songs. He now also sang with conviction about the dark realities of life. Lessons of loneliness, defeat, heartbreak and the struggle to overcome, were convincingly conveyed from the perspective of one who had faced those demons and remained standing.

This brought a new facet to his music and helped make him as popular with men as he had been with women. That and his growing reputation as a hard drinking, jet setting, tough-minded fellow. The "Chairman Of The Board" demonstrated that, though still sensitive and vulnerable, he was a man's man. Break his heart and he'd cry. Double cross him and you'd pay. Sinatra provided the road map that made it possible for even the machoest of men to connect to feelings of romance and sentimentality.

For decades, Sinatra's music has been the soundtrack for falling into and out of love. Frank was also an accomplished actor and renowned live stage performer. His popularity and career longevity remain unmatched. An anonymous quote sums up Sinatra's massive impact on popular culture- "It's Frank's world, we just live in it."
