Frank Sinatra

Fans of Frank Sinatra marked what would’ve been the singer’s 104th birthday on Thursday, sharing tributes to the iconic Hoboken crooner.

Sinatra, who was born in the Mile Square City on Dec. 12, 1915, died in 1998, at the age of 82, but his legacy is alive and well.
Fans (and brands) across the globe remembered Ol’ Blue Eyes by posting his voice and image on social media, making him a lasting top Twitter trend alongside the other news of the day.
The singer and actor received 11 Grammys and an Oscar in a career that spanned 60 years, during which he released 10 albums that charted in the top 10 of the Billboard 200.
Whether it was “Fly Me To the Moon” or “Luck Be A Lady," “The Girl From Ipanema” or “My Way,” the Chairman of the Board was top of mind for many.
Nancy Sinatra shared a tribute to her father in the form of his baby picture, as seen on the 2017 lullaby album “Baby Blue Eyes … May The First Voice You Hear Be Mine.”

“Happy heavenly birthday, Daddy,” she posted. “You made the world a much better place.”
Here’s a duet with Nancy and Frank in which they performed a medley of their songs.

Deana Martin, daughter of Sinatra contemporary Dean Martin, remembered her “Uncle Frank" with a clip from an old TV appearance.

Tony Bennett reminisced about his old friend by sharing a portrait he painted of the singer.

Here’s how everyone else commemorated the birth of a legend.

Some proceeded to try and rank Sinatra’s songs for the occasion.
