His story was always shrouded in mystery and speculation. All kinds of things have been said about him and his contacts with the underworld caused him to go through countless problems, many of them with the law. Instead of clearing things up, he devoted himself constantly to feeding the fog. He became popular among journalists of the time. He always received the same excuse when they wanted to communicate with him.

"The gentleman has a cold", his press agent used to say, leaving

thus without answers all those who were looking for a juicy headline. That's why they decided to invent a thousand and one stories about him. He won an Oscar, 12 Grammys and 31 gold records. He topped the number 1 lists. He broke records and has the privilege of being one of the few artists with more than three stars on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Today we are going to follow in the footsteps of the most famous Stranger in the Night of all time to learn about his beginnings, his ties to the Mafia, his decline and his spectacular rebirth. The path will take us to May 14, 1998, the day that Frank Sinatra died.

So we begin.

Frank Sinatra is undoubtedly a symbol of the world of music, he was also a symbol of cinema, an unmistakable voice and a masterful talent, and a symbol of elegance and refinement. His voice is one of the great legends of the 20th century as a singer and his story, and also Frank Sinatra was a fairly acceptable actor who improved progressively and participated in high-quality titles that have become classics under the orders of filmmakers such as Fred Cineman, John Houston, Stanley, Otto Preminger, Joseph, and even Frank Capra.

His life was quite intense, marked by excesses. He was born in Jovoque, New Jersey, United States, on December 12, 1915. Francis Albert Sinatra came from a family of Italian origin. He once explained that the Jovoquen neighborhood was a rough and violent environment. People would insult you. And if someone said you were a pig, there was no other solution than to break their head.

He was a young gang member who had many problems with the police. He never had much interest in his studies and ended up leaving high school to work as a newspaper salesman. He left this job when he won the Major Box amateur radio contest. Howard then joined several orchestras with which he toured all over the United States in the early 40s.

Sinatra made his debut as a solo singer. Apparently he was a pioneer in using sound amplifiers so that his voice could sound above the orchestra. He soon became a true idol of the masses, especially among the teenagers who surrounded en masses the venues where his presence was announced, sometimes forcing him to escape using the most surreal techniques. He became a celebrity. He was offered a contract with the aim of attracting his fans to the movie theaters in light musical comedies.
