Born in Hoboken, New Jersey, to Italian immigrants, Sinatra began his musical career in the swing era with bandleaders Harry James and Tommy Dorsey. Sinatra found success as a solo artist after he signed with Columbia Records in 1943, becoming the idol of the "bobby soxers". He released his debut album, The Voice of Frank Sinatra, in 1946. Sinatra's professional career had stalled by the early 1950s, and he turned to Las Vegas, where he became one of its best known residency performers as part of The Rat Pack. His career was reborn in 1953 with the success of From Here to Eternity, with his performance subsequently winning an Academy Award and Golden Globe Award for Best Supporting Actor. Sinatra released several critically lauded albums, including In the Wee Small Hours (1955), Songs for Swingin' Lovers! (1956), Come Fly with Me (1958), Only the Lonely (1958) and Nice 'n' Easy (1960).
Sinatra left Capitol in 1960 to start his own record label, Reprise Records, and released a string of successful albums. In 1965, he recorded the retrospective September of My Years, starred in the Emmy-winning television special Frank Sinatra: A Man and His Music, and released the tracks "Strangers in the Night" and "My Way". After releasing Sinatra at the Sands, recorded at the Sands Hotel and Casino in Vegas with frequent collaborator Count Basie in early 1966, the following year he recorded one of his most famous collaborations with Tom Jobim, the album Francis Albert Sinatra & Antonio Carlos Jobim. It was followed by 1968's collaboration with Duke Ellington. Sinatra retired for the first time in 1971, but came out of retirement two years later and recorded several albums and resumed performing at Caesars Palace, and reached success in 1980 with "New York, New York". Using his Las Vegas shows as a home base, he toured both within the United States and internationally until a short time before his death in 1998.
Sinatra forged a highly successful career as a film actor. After winning an Academy Award for From Here to Eternity, he starred in The Man with the Golden Arm (1955), and received critical acclaim for his performance in The Manchurian Candidate (1962). He appeared in various musicals such as On the Town (1949), Guys and Dolls (1955), High Society (1956), and Pal Joey (1957), winning another Golden Globe for the latter. Toward the end of his career, he became associated with playing detectives, including the title character in Tony Rome (1967). Sinatra would later receive the Golden Globe Cecil B. DeMille Award in 1971. On television, The Frank Sinatra Show began on ABC in 1950, and he continued to make appearances on television throughout the 1950s and 1960s. Sinatra was also heavily involved with politics from the mid-1940s, and actively campaigned for presidents such as Harry S. Truman, John F. Kennedy and Ronald Reagan, though before Kennedy's death Sinatra's alleged Mafia connections led to his being snubbed.
While Sinatra never formally learned how to read music, he had an impressive understanding of it, and he worked very hard from a young age to improve his abilities in all aspects of music. A perfectionist, renowned for his dress sense and performing presence, he always insisted on recording live with his band. His bright blue eyes earned him the popular nickname "Ol' Blue Eyes". Sinatra led a colorful personal life, and was often involved in turbulent affairs with women, such as with his second wife Ava Gardner. He went on to marry Mia Farrow in 1966 and Barbara Marx in 1976. Sinatra had several violent confrontations, usually with journalists he felt had crossed him, or work bosses with whom he had disagreements. He was honored at the Kennedy Center Honors in 1983, was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom by Ronald Reagan in 1985, and the Congressional Gold Medal in 1997. Sinatra was also the recipient of eleven Grammy Awards, including the Grammy Trustees Award, Grammy Legend Award and the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award. After his death, American music critic Robert Christgau called him "the greatest singer of the 20th century", and he continues to be seen as an iconic figure.
Sinatra died with his wife at his side at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles on May 14, 1998, aged 82, after a heart attack. Sinatra had ill health during the last few years of his life, and was frequently hospitalized for heart and breathing problems, high blood pressure, pneumonia and bladder cancer. He was further diagnosed as having dementia. He had made no public appearances following a heart attack in February 1997. Sinatra's wife encouraged him to "fight" while attempts were made to stabilize him, and his final words were, "I'm losing." Sinatra's daughter, Tina, later wrote that she and her sister, Nancy, had not been notified of their father's final hospitalization, and it was her belief that "the omission was deliberate. Barbara would be the grieving widow alone at her husband's side." The night after Sinatra's death, the lights on the Empire State Building in New York City were turned blue, the lights at the Las Vegas Strip were dimmed in his honor, and the casinos stopped spinning for a minute.
Sinatra's funeral was held at the Roman Catholic Church of the Good Shepherd in Beverly Hills, California, on May 20, 1998, with 400 mourners in attendance and thousands of fans outside. Gregory Peck, Tony Bennett, and Sinatra's son, Frank Jr., addressed the mourners, who included many notable people from film and entertainment. Sinatra was buried in a blue business suit with mementos from family members—cherry-flavored Life Savers, Tootsie Rolls, a bottle of Jack Daniel's, a pack of Camel cigarettes, a Zippo lighter, stuffed toys, a dog biscuit, and a roll of dimes that he always carried—next to his parents in section B-8 of Desert Memorial Park in Cathedral City, California.
His close friends Jilly Rizzo and Jimmy Van Heusen are buried nearby. The words "The Best Is Yet to Come", plus "Beloved Husband & Father" are imprinted on Sinatra's grave marker. Significant increases in recording sales worldwide were reported by Billboard in the month of his death.

Frank Sinatra Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The same old hoodoo follows me about
The same old pounding in my heart whenever I think of you
And, darling, I think of you
Day in and day out
Day out, day in
I needn't tell you how my days begin
One possibility in view
That possibility of maybe seeing you
Come rain, come shine
I meet you and to me the day is fine
Then I kiss your lips
And the pounding becomes
The ocean's roar
A thousand drums
Can't you see it's love
Can there be any doubt
When there it is
Day in, day out
The song Day In Day Out by Frank Sinatra talks about the persistence of love, despite the challenges that come with it. The lyrics describe the same old hoodoo, or unlucky feeling, that follows the singer day in and day out when he thinks of his lover. Despite this, his days begin with a tingle as he dreams and hopes for the possibility of seeing her. When they do finally meet, the singer describes the joy that comes with being with his lover. He says that his heart pounds like the ocean's roar or a thousand drums, and he is sure that what he feels is love.
The song offers a snapshot of what many people go through in love, the ups and downs, and the persistence of the feeling despite the challenges. It is a classic love song that has stood the test of time and remains a popular choice to this day. Sinatra's deep voice and the sharp, distinctive brass arrangements make it a song that is hard to forget. The lyrics remain as relevant today as they were when Sinatra first sang them, reminding us that love is a powerful force that persists no matter what.
Line by Line Meaning
Day in, day out
Every day, consistently
The same old hoodoo follows me about
I can't shake off this feeling; it persists no matter what I do
The same old pounding in my heart whenever I think of you
My heart races with excitement and anticipation at the thought of you
And, darling, I think of you
You're the one on my mind
Day in and day out
All day, every day
Day out, day in
Even when things are flipped around
I needn't tell you how my days begin
You know exactly how my day starts
When I awake, I awaken with a tingle
I wake up excited with anticipation
One possibility in view
The possibility of seeing you again, being reunited
That possibility of maybe seeing you
The mere thought of seeing you sparks joy and a sense of purpose in me
Come rain, come shine
No matter what the weather or the circumstances are
I meet you and to me the day is fine
As long as I get to see you, everything else is inconsequential
Then I kiss your lips
A physical expression of my love and affection
And the pounding becomes
My heart races even faster
The ocean's roar
A metaphorical comparison to the loudness of my heartbeat
A thousand drums
Another metaphor for the intensity of my emotions
Can't you see it's love
My feelings for you are so strong; it's obviously love
Can there be any doubt
I'm so sure of my love; there's no room for doubt
When there it is
My love for you is right there, obvious and undeniable
Day in, day out
It's an everyday occurrence

Lyrics :)
[Verse 1]
I know how it feel to wake up fucked up
Pockets broke as hell, another rock to sell
People look at you like you's the user
Sellin' drugs to all the losers, mad buddha abuser
But they don't know about your stress-filled day
Baby on the way, mad bills to pay
That's why you drink Tanqueray, so you can reminisce
And wish you wasn't livin' so devilish, shit
I remember I was just like you
Smokin' blunts with my crew, flippin' over 62's
'Cause G-E-D wasn't B-I-G
I had to get P-A-I-D, that's why my moms hate me
She was forced to kick me out, no doubt
Then I figured out nicks went for 20s down South
Packed up my tools for my raw power move
Glock 19 for casket and flower moves
For chumps tryin' to stop my flow
And what they don't know will show on the autopsy
Went to see Papi to cop me a brick
Asked for some consignment, he wasn't tryin' to hear it
Smokin' mad Newports 'cause I'm due in court
For an assault that I caught in Bridgeport, New York
Catch me if you can like the Gingerbread Man
You better have your gat in hand, 'cause man
[Chorus]
A day in a life of a fool /x2
[Verse 2]
I had the master plan, I'm in the caravan on my way to Maryland
With my man Two-TECs to take over this projects
They call him Two-TECs, he tote two TECs
And when he start to bust, he like to ask, "Who's next?"
I got my honey on the Amtrak with the crack
In the crack of her ass, two pounds of hash in the stash
I wait for hon to make some quick cash
I told her she could be lieutenant, bitch got gassed
At last, I'm literally loungin', black
Sittin' back, countin' double digit thousand stacks
Had to re-up, see what's up with my peeps
Toyota deal-athon had it cheap on the Jeeps
See who got smoked, what rumors was spread
Last I heard I was dead, with six to the head
Then I got the phone call, it couldn't hit me harder
We got infiltrated, like Nino at the Carter
Heard TEC got murdered in a town I never heard of
By some bitch named Alberta over nickel-plated burners
And my bitch swear to God she won't snitch
I told her when she hit the bricks I'll make the hooker rich
Conspiracy, she'll be home in three
Until then I looks out for the whole family
A true G, that's me, blowin' like a bubble
In the everyday struggle
[Chorus]
A day in a life of a fool (I don't wanna live no more sometimes I hear death knockin' at my front door) /x2
A sad and a long lonely day
I walk the avenue and hope I'll run into
The welcome sight of you coming my way
(I don't wanna live no more
Sometimes I hear death knocking at my front door
I'm living everyday like a hustle
Another drug to juggle, another day, another struggle)
@kakscpo
Je me laisse, je fais facile
Je chante, je chante
C'est que ma vie en péril
Des nuits, ça me hante
Quand de haut en bas ça tangue
Moi, les yeux fermés j'avance
Tout en inconscience, quand j'y pense
Toi, tu crois, que je brille, que je mens
Ouvre tes yeux grands
Mais ne me regarde pas comme si c'était facile
Tu sais bien que moi, je ne suis pas si docile
Si tu savais comme ça me coûte
De ne pas te montrer mes doutes
J'en appelle à ma sagesse, S.O.S
Mais ne me regarde pas comme si c'était facile
Tu sais bien que moi, je ne suis pas si docile
Si tu savais comme ça me coûte
De ne pas te montrer mes doutes
J'en appelle à ma sagesse, S.O.S
C'est OK, je suis fragile
Presque sans défense
Ne crois pas que c'est futile
C'est ici que tout commence
Quand dedans ça papillonne
Que ça s'agite, que ça cogne
Je me défile et je m'étonne
Toi, tu crois, que je brille, que je mens
Ouvre tes yeux grands
Mais ne me regarde pas comme si c'était facile
Tu sais bien que moi, je ne suis pas si docile
Si tu savais comme ça me coûte
De ne pas te montrer mes doutes
J'en appelle à ma sagesse, S.O.S
Mais ne me regarde pas comme si c'était facile
Tu sais bien que moi, je ne suis pas si docile
Si tu savais comme ça me coûte
De ne pas te montrer mes doutes
J'en appelle à ma sagesse, S.O.S
Toi, tu crois, que je brille, que je mens
Ouvre tes yeux grands
Oui, toi, tu crois, que je brille, que je mens
Ouvre tes yeux grands
Mais ne me regarde pas comme si c'était facile
Tu sais bien que moi, je ne suis pas si docile
Si tu savais comme ça me coûte
De ne pas te montrer mes doutes
J'en appelle à ma sagesse, S.O.S
Mais ne me regarde pas comme si c'était facile
Tu sais bien que moi, je ne suis pas si docile
Si tu savais comme ça me coûte
De ne pas te montrer mes doutes
J'en appelle à ma sagesse, S.O.S
Ne me regarde pas
Si tu savais, si tu savais
Ne me regarde pas
Si tu savais, si tu savais
Si tu savais

Dealin with the dope fiend binges, seein syringes

The crack smoke make my brain feel so strange
Breakin days on the set, no sweat
Drunk off Moet, can't bag yet because it's still wet
But when that dry, baggin five at a time
I can clock about nine on the check cashin line
I had the first and the third; rehearse that's my word
Thick in the game, D's knew my first name
Should I quit? Shit no! Even though they had me scared
Yo they got a eight, I gotta teck with air holes..
..and that's just how the shit go in the struggle motherfucker

@natdarke1052
The sample is from Manhã de Carnaval, written in 1959 by Luiz Bonfá, a legendary guitarist and composer from Brazil. It's one of the finest songs ever written in my opinion. So beautiful but desceptively complex. There are many, many great interpretations of the song including the more commercial English language version by Frank Sinatra
@dlucian38
Appreciate it, man. I got into Luiz Bonfá's music cuz of hot samples, but I didn't know this one. Thank you a lot 🤝🙌
@GrandpaRonin
Thank you so much for the information! The world of music is so vast, and there will never be enough time to listen to it at all. <3
@yayatoure2394
Oh Luiz bonfa he‘s great
@EzequixL
Aulas !
@lexodus_poe
blows my mind, im a big fan of remixes and thats a song that was very much part of me kinda growing up, to see it evolve and spread into directions i never thought possible is just <3
@enigma797
uma fusão perfeita de dois gênio da música . SIMPLISMENTE SENSACIONAL
@TheOnly1JLDN
This is brilliant
Frank Sinatra is killing it on the hip hop remixes
@sabin174
Two of my favorite performers. May they both rest in peace.
