American singer, composer, conductor and actor (1944–2016)
He carried the heaviest surname in American music — not as tribute act but as working bandleader, spending decades on the road conducting the same big-band standards his father made immortal.
Francis Wayne Sinatra was born January 10, 1944, the second child and only son of Frank Sinatra and Nancy Barbato Sinatra, younger brother to Nancy and older brother to Tina. He became a jazz and big band singer, songwriter, conductor, and actor, choosing to work within the idiom his father defined rather than flee it. For fifty years he led orchestras through the Great American Songbook on stages far from the spotlight his name promised, a road musician in the shadow of the century's most famous voice. He died March 16, 2016.
