Frank Sinatra

RMy favorite Frank Sinatra movie is either "From Here to Eternity" (1953) or "The Manchurian Candidate" (1962)..

RLoving all of these answers.Frank Sinatra was a crooner and though usually he had jazz musicians supporting him, the charts were tight and there was little room for the players to stand out. That's no knock at Frank Sinatra since he was the star.Jazz singers like Eddie Jefferson had backing bands that would swing, too. He allowed lots of solos and if a player caught fire on a solo, Eddie would urge him to keep going. Billie Holiday also allowed many solos from her supporting cast.

RHello there,Frank Sinatra is the one who brought Pop music to the teens (bobby sockers of the day). He really was the first teen idol pop star. Pop music had not been targeted at the teenage market. Frank Sinatra did appeal to the teens and the music industry changed the direction of pop music towards the teen market.Later,

RSinatra is mostly famous for his ballroom dancing and tap-work. He is most likely to be associated with the Quick-step or Sock-hop. These two are very difficult to learn, but if you stay at it, it becomes quite simpleI having been dancing ballroom for many years as well as numerous dance styles throughout my life, and some tips I can give you are to: 1) ALWAYS break your suede-bottom shoes in before dancing in them.2) Stretch out ALL muscles and ligaments (from neck to ankles to wrists)3) Be passionate and confident in your dance style ad technique. Even though your instructor will tell you the correct form and style, always try to adapt you own styles into how you move.

RThey had family members in Italy.

RIt would be great music for the cocktail hour and during dinner. A lot of the lighter jazz standards would also work out well.In addition to Frank, consider some of the Dean Martin music. It's lively yet gentle and the melodies are memorable. Some Perry Como music would be the same. All this music is timeless.

RDean Martin is definitely your first and best bet. Aside from that, there is a whole list of "Traditional Pop" singers on Wikipedia.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Traditional_pop_musicI absolutely love this type of music. :)

RRichard Cheese does lounge covers of popular songs in that style. You can find his vids on youtube but most of the songs are shortened versions of the original so don't expect a full song for the most part.My favorite ones are Down with the Sickness and Chop Suey
