UPDATE (11/29/2007):
Warner Music Group and Frank Sinatra Family Partner on Historic Joint Venture Movie & Entertainment News provided by World Entertainment News Network (www.wenn.com) Singing legend FRANK SINATRA is making a comeback nine years after his death his family have signed a deal with Warner Bros. to give his music a new lease of life. Warner has set up a 'global partnership' with the Sinatra estate to manage all of his music, films and stage work, and handle all licensing of his name and likeness. Their partnership - called Frank Sinatra Enterprises - was brokered by the superstar's three children Nancy, Tina and Frank Sinatra Jr. A statement released by the Sinatras reads, "We were extremely selective in choosing a partner with whom to manage our father's life work. It was a process that took several years." Warners hopes it can emulate the success Elvis Presley has achieved since his death, through re-releases. The King's estate recently announced profits of $49 million in the last year (06-07).

Many people ask me why Frank Sinatra is my favorite singer. My answer: just listen to him and you'll know.
When I was about 12 years-old I first heard "The Voice" on my older sister's Reprise Collection CD. I was hooked from the first note and to this day I can listen to the entire album all the way through. My collection has eclipsed 100 CDs, over 20 records, numerous collectibles, and now a webpage.
When Frank passed away in May of 1998 it was one week before I was to attend a Sons of Italy scholarship ceremony (of which my brother was a recipient) which included a special tribute to Frank. His wife Barbara was scheduled to attend but Frank's death obviously made that impossible. That night proved to me that Frank will never die.
Since his passing, I've formulated a theory based on how Frank Sinatra lives on post mortem. If you make yourself aware of it, there is a Frank reference in everyone's life daily. Whether it be the tune of "I've Got You Under My Skin" in a shampoo commercial or a direct mention of Ol' Blue Eyes, there are constant reminders of his life every day. It's an eerie and amazing tribute to the influence Frank Sinatra had on American society.
His personality, swagger, and voice will survive, there is no doubt about that. The younger generations will adopt him as their own and will be as amazed as I was by his legendary life and music.
Incidentally, Frank's favorite color was orange and he was known for his blue eyes so those are the colors you will see the most on this site. So toss on a Frank album, there's always one available, and please enjoy this small tribute to a great entertainer and a great man.
Without further ado...I give you FRANK SINATRA!!!
