Today would’ve been the late Francis Albert “Frank” Sinatra’s 97 Birthday, Save Jerseyans.
The Hoboken, New Jersey native was no saint (by his own admission), but in a day and age when Hollywood lacks class and patriotic sentiment, Frank and his posse had both in spades.
God bless you, Blue Eyes! I like to think you’re keeping Ronnie company in Heaven (and everyone else in stitches).
You're right, Matt. Like the rest of us, Frank was no saint, but if you read Nancy Sinatra's book about her dad she highlights the hundreds of times he performed free for charities around the world as well as the thousands of times he gave money anonymously to people in need. Sinatra always carried $100 bills with him to tip valets, bell hops, etc. – as far back as the 60's when that was a huge amount of money.
