Nearly 20 years after his death The life and legacy of Frank Sinatra continues unveil itself throughout the years as the legacy of this iconic personality lives on. Just 3 years ago Sinatra was celebrated all year long to mark what would had been his 100th birthday with celebrity specials and more. After nearly two decades since Sinatra had left his world on a string, so to speak, Sinatra is even more revered by generations of new and old.
Sinatra was a true multimedia giant as an entertainer of film and song through his diverse music catalogue that spanned 6 decades. It’s this legacy that had him heralded as the voice of the century in popular music. As the years pass, we continue to remember the cultural and iconic who called out bigotry and promoted civil rights when it wasn’t cool, pacing way for great minority entertainers, backing political figures and teaching us about love and limitless through his impeccable phrasing that truly voiced a generation through popular music that’s heard at weddings funerals and with a glass of wine at the dinner table. It’s that voice that today, even after a generation has passed, that we understand more about the personal Sinatra who did great for the common good of mankind often in anonymity.
In the latest documentary by director Leo Zahn, Sinatra Palm Springs, The Place He Called Home’, explores Frank Sinatra’s deep attachment to Palm Springs and the Coachella Valley, his primary home for almost 50 years. The film encapsulates the essence of the Sinatra era while pay homage to the unique lifestyle of Sinatra’s Palm Springs and Rancho Mirage; you”ll learn the amazing contributions Sinatra made a legacy that’s still felt, heard, and seen today.
