bhryun Posted August 19, 2005 Share Posted August 19, 2005 Do any of you know how many hits Frank Sinatra has? I checked on bunches of different sites and haven't found an answer. If any of you know, please let me know. Link to post Share on other sites
spencerl964 Posted August 20, 2005 Share Posted August 20, 2005 To fellow-(SINATRATEEN) 1st of all welcome to TCM! & you have hit on a topic & heavyweight of both motion pictures & more-over music, that is my own personal #2-(runner-up) of all-time Heroes & Idols>*"The Chairman of the Board: Francis Albert Sinatra"-(1915-98) However, you have asked a question that is monolithic! & to ask how many hits, is waaay too-much writing & or analysis for here. (A.M.P.A.S. TRIVIA: 3 *FS numbers have won the Best 0riginal Song Oscar though> 1954's "Three Coins in the Fountain" (Fox) 1957 "All the Way" from "The Joker Is Wild" & 1959's "High Hopes" from "A Hole in the Head"-9the latter was also of course used as a JFK anthem) Plus, he had recorded Marilyn Monroe's final & unfinished film "Something's Gotta' Give" for a 1962 release.-(surprisingly, co-star: Dino did not do the number this time) But, we all know what happened with that famously unfinished production If you are a big fan-(USA Today critic: Mike Clark is another by the way) You can contact me off of these forums, because it's too in depth He also was awarded: Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Academy Gold for 1971. & *Sinatra won another OSCAR-(plus of course loads of Grammys. The OSCARS of Music) For the short subject "The House I Live In" (1945) I was in 3 fan-clubs in my life & his-(located down here in Lakeland, FL?) was superb! Sadly, it went under earlier this year. But of course there are more & tons of websites. 1 of which is run by daughter: Nancy. Matter of fact, I just stumbled upon yet another last week Drop me a line at: Spencer64@ij.net Thank You Link to post Share on other sites
spencerl964 Posted August 20, 2005 Share Posted August 20, 2005 By the way, though I wish I still were one I may have posted my entrance on reply incorrectly I am unfortunately no more a TEEN! Just another SINATRAFAN! & on that note, if you are a teenager Thats marvelous in this era of rap & other music,etc that you would even be interested in the 6 decades worth of tunes of *FRANK!
