Biographie:
Frank Sinatra, né Francis Albert Sinatra le 12 décembre 1915 à Hoboken (New Jersey) et mort le 14 mai 1998 à Los Angeles (Californie) au Centre médical Cedars-Sinaï, est un chanteur, acteur et producteur de musique américain. Né de parents italiens (d'un père d'origine sicilienne et d'une mère originaire de Ligurie), Sinatra est l'une des figures majeures de la musique américaine. Crooner à la réputation mondiale, surnommé «The Voice» («La Voix») ou encore «le gangster d'Hoboken», en raison de ses liens avec la mafia. Il est l'un des chanteurs les plus influents du XXe siècle et sa popularité est comparable à celle de compatriotes comme Elvis Presley, Bing Crosby ou Michael Jackson. Le critique musical américain Robert Christgau le qualifie même de «plus grand chanteur du XXe siècle». Son répertoire comprend plus de 2 000 chansons pour environ 150 millions de disques vendus. Sa carrière débute à l'ère du swing, comme chanteur dans les orchestres de jazz de Harry James et Tommy Dorsey. Il connaît le succès dès 1943, après avoir signé chez Columbia Records. Devenu l'idole des bobby-soxers, il sort son premier album en 1946, The Voice of Frank Sinatra. En 1953, il remporte l'Oscar du meilleur second rôle pour son interprétation dans Tant qu'il y aura des hommes. La même année, il signe chez Capitol Records et enregistre plusieurs albums à succès (In the Wee Small Hours, Songs for Swingin' Lovers!, Come Fly with Me, Only the Lonely et Nice 'n' Easy). En 1961, il fonde Reprise Records, son propre label, et effectue une tournée internationale. Membre fondateur du Rat Pack, aux côtés de Dean Martin et Sammy Davis Jr., il fréquente de nombreuses célébrités et hommes d'État, dont John F. Kennedy. Dans les années 1960, il enregistre ses deux plus grands succès, Strangers in the Night (1966) et My Way (1969). Il prend une première fois sa retraite en 1971 après quelques albums et films sans succès, mais revient en 1973 et connait à nouveau la gloire en interprétant la chanson New York, New York, reprise de la bande originale du film homonyme de Martin Scorsese (la version originale étant interprétée par Liza Minnelli). Vivant à Las Vegas, où il se produit chaque soir dans les plus grands casinos, il réalise également de nombreuses tournées aux États-Unis et dans le reste du monde jusqu'en 1995. Durant sa carrière cinématographique, il a également été dirigé par certains des plus grands réalisateurs de l'âge d'or hollywoodien, dont Otto Preminger, John Huston, Frank Capra, Vincente Minnelli et Joseph Mankiewicz. Engagé en politique, il est un fervent soutien du Parti démocrate de 1944 à 1970, avant de soutenir le camp républicain et notamment son ami Ronald Reagan. Marié à quatre reprises, notamment avec les actrices Ava Gardner et Mia Farrow, il eut trois enfants, dont la chanteuse Nancy Sinatra. Dans les années 1990, une enquête a montré que Sinatra avait eu des liens avec des pontes de la mafia italo-américaine tels que Carlo Gambino, Sam Giancana ou Lucky Luciano. ...
