Today we’ll be having a birthday celebration of a very successful entertainer in the popular music field, and that’s Frank Sinatra, who was born on December 12, 1915. During his time Frank Sinatra was one of the most important and enduring popular music figures of the 20th century. His career spanned six decades, beginning in the 1930s and lasting into the 90s. He weathered all kinds of trends in popular music, defining some of them and maintaining his appeal throughout the others. His voice was particularly noted for its intimacy and direct appeal to the listener that proved impossible to resist. Perhaps what he is known for best is his unique talent for phrasing and interpretation and his ability to perform songs in a way that made them, quite literally, perennial.
