Frank Sinatra Jr. (10 January 1944 – 16 March 2016)was an American singer, songwriter, actor and conductor.
Hindsight
Sinatra Jr. might have had an easier time establishing himself had he gone into real estate, – Richard Ginell, qtd, in Wikipedia
“I think in my generation, when I came along in the early ’60s, the type of music that was in vogue in society in those days had moved on to another kind of music,” Sinatra told the newspaper. “I was trying to sell antiques in a modern appliance store.” – CNN obituary
Frank Sinatra Jr. had
To reckon with a famous dad.
He found himself a modest place,
But never really cleared the space.
He threw his hat into the ring
And truth to tell, the guy could sing.
Without his father’s famous name
He may have had some Vegas fame.
He had his career, not loved, not hated,
But as his setlist grew more dated
He hoped that folks would want to hear
The antique hits of yesteryear.
Perhaps he should have figured sooner
That he was just another crooner.
