“I’m going to live til I die.”
~ Frank Sinatra. 1915-1998
Year after year, I find myself coming back to this photograph. What keeps drawing me in is the way a truly great photographer can capture the essence of a person into a single frame. Frank wasn’t just a remarkable artist and musician—he was a force. In many ways, he became the first modern solo superstar, stepping out from his early days with the Tommy Dorsey band and redefining what it meant to be a performer. He wasn’t just a singer fronting a band; he was Frank Sinatra, entirely and unmistakably himself.
The perfect gift for the Sinatra fan in your life this holiday season.
