The life and work of Frank Sinatra, who passed away 10 years ago tomorrow, will be celebrated in film, television, radio, and even a commemorative 42-cent Sinatra postage stamp, which will be issued today.
In addition to Warner Home Video’s release of 22 films, there will be much to see on television. Every Sunday and Wednesday this month, Turner Classic Movies (TCM) is running a festival of his films and television specials. Sinatra’s children, Nancy, Tina, and Frank Jr., host the Wednesday presentations. The programming includes classic performances, such as Sinatra’s Oscar-winning turn in “From Here to Eternity” (1953), the musicals “Pal Joey” (1957), “On the Town” (1949), and “Anchors Aweigh” (1945), and the Rat Pack comedies “Ocean’s Eleven” (1960) and “Sergeants 3” (1962).
A new CD, “Nothing But the Best,” will be released tomorrow by Frank’s Music Reprise to honor Sinatra’s years with the Reprise record label. A total of 21 classic songs will be remastered for the first time in 15 years, and a previously unreleased recording of “Body and Soul,” featuring new arrangements, will be among the tracks.
Elsewhere, Sirius Satellite Radio will run a daylong broadcast about Sinatra’s musical career on its Sinatra-centric channel 75, “Siriusly Sinatra,” scheduled for 9 a.m. tomorrow. The day will include a section hosted by Nancy Sinatra and her daughter, A.J. Lambert, as well as a separate section hosted by Frank Jr.
