• Although it might seem hard to believe today, the musical career of Frank Sinatra appeared to be coming to a close in 1952. That was the impression held by both the general public and the record producers. However, his participation on the film From Here to Eternity opened a new path for his career. Shortly after the movie’s release, he was offered a new recording contract - and chose a new arranger & orchestra leader : Nelson Riddle, who gave the singer’s music a more modern approach.
• From Here to Eternity was nominated for 12 Oscars and won eight - including one for Frank as Best Supporting Actor. His smiling figure was seen by millions of people on TV when he received the award. He never looked back and continued on the path that would turn him into one of the greatest icons of popular music
• Frank Sinatra was the 20th century. He was modern; he was complex; he had swing and attitude. He was the big bang of pop. – Bono (U2)
• You only live once, and the way I live, once is enough. – Frank Sinatra
