Frank Sinatra

The musical has gone through many changes in its lifetime. Its has been developed, explored and performed in millions of theatres around the world. But what really are the foundations of the art form itself? All of the three elements are really important, but there is one that stands out and has changed the most. That would be the music. The music has served the musical in many ways. It serves the characters extended feelings of fulfillment and gives the audience something to hum out of the…

Conflict in Frank Sinatra's Gum In the story Frank Sinatra's Gum written by Kelly Simon, the motif of conformity is apparent. The author tells a story about herself pretending to be a reporter for the Weequahic High News in New Jersey. Using this false identity, she goes on to interview Mr. Sinatra and ask him some pretty interesting questions. All the while trying to fulfill her own desire of attempting to fit in with the other girls in her school. After interviewing him she realizes that he…

When we think of Frank Sinatra we think of a man in a fedora singing and dancing in front of a big band or a main character in one of our great grandparents favorite movies. Well you're right but Sinatra had a different side that was a little scandalous. He was on the FBI watch list for being a possible communist sympathizer and having ties to the mobs. Sinatra lived a lush and lavish life while still beating to his own drum when it came to ethics. Sinatra never had any luck or self control when…

love song? My idea of the perfect love song is “The Way You Look Tonight” by Frank Sinatra. Being a huge Frank Sinatra fan all of my life I was tempted to use so many of his songs as my “perfect” love song. However, this song never fails to amaze me. My favorite lyric is “Someday, when I 'm awfully low. When the world is cold. I will feel a glow just thinking of you and the way you look tonight” (Sinatra, 1961). This song speaks to me now more than ever, because I am moving to…

We chose Frank Sinatra for this project because he was arguably the twentieth century’s greatest singer of popular song. He also acted in some of the popular movies of the 50s and 60s. He was a one of a kind man, simultaneously a ladies’ man and a man’s man. Women wanted to be with him and men wanted to be him. After all, he had a total of four wives in his lifetime, and if he did not die in 1998 he probably would have remarried again. Sinatra became famous singing in a band called the Rat Pack.…

yell incoherently at the sky. I returned to my backpack to grab another bottle of Jack Daniels. The Sinatra Select. A whiskey in honour of Frank Sinatra. It was then I was reminded of that two-timer again. Our first dance was to “The Way You Look Tonight”. Since that night, I haven’t touched a drop of that particular JD. Once I’d had about a quarter of the bottle and shamefully belted out Sinatra hits, I was compelled to yank my bag upside down. Its contents spewed over the woodland floor and I…

Having an urban setting affects the characters or people in the lyrics of “New York, New York” and “Chicago” by Frank Sinatra, the short story “Thank you Ma'am” by Langston Hughes, and the Novel Seedfolks written by Paul Fleischman. Characters and people in lyrics are affected from an urban setting. An example of this would in the lyrics of “New York, New York” and “Chicago” by Frank Sinatra. In “New York, New York” the line “I want to wake up, in a city that never sleeps”…

boundaries was entertainer Frank Sinatra. After developing tremendous popularity as a singer and actor in the first half of the twentieth century, Frank Sinatra exerted influence through his amenable following in the American public. He used this power in constructive ways that extended far beyond the entertainment industry. For example, at the height of his popularity in Las Vegas, during the Civil Rights Movement of the early 1960’s, in an altruistic manner, Sinatra refused to perform at a…

I am happy. It is incredibly corny but that is all I really want. I want to be so happy my cheeks are burning because I can not stop smiling, I want that happiness were you have to bite your lips from smiling to much. I am a firm believer everyone deserves a couple euphoric highs of happiness at least a couple times in their life and I have not had many yet, but I think my wedding deserves one of these highs for both my husband and I. I have never been that Disney story book girl, therefore I do…

Since the late 80’s, Will Smith has been a quality figure in pop culture. Mostly known for his charm and famous role as the “Fresh Prince of Bel-Air”, the West Philadelphia native has managed to create a deep impact through acting in Hollywood by smashing box office ticket sales. But of course, every actor has his or her fair share of box office fails, including Will. Movies like “Wild Wild West” and “After Earth” had sketchy landings when they hit theaters. Fortunately, Smith has had plenty of…
