Many historians of music consider Sinatra to have been the true originator of the ConceptAlbum, with [[OlderThanTheyThink 1955]]'s ''Music/InTheWeeSmallHours'' (it's about men feeling lonely and isolated in, well, [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin the wee small hours]] of the morning).[[note]]Music/WoodyGuthrie's ''Music/DustBowlBallads'' might also qualify, being as they are all around the central themes of the poverty and hardship suffered by Dust Bowl refugees. There is little debate, however, that ''In the Wee Small Hours'' was the first concept album unified by a mood or musical theme rather than a narrative one.[[/note]] He also had a successful career as an actor -- two of them, in fact. First, as the [[PlayingAgainstType shy, innocent, virginal]] musical performer who costarred with Creator/GeneKelly in ''Film/OnTheTown'' and ''Film/AnchorsAweigh'', and then as the cynical, streetwise tough guy in such movies as ''Film/FromHereToEternity'' (his [[CareerResurrection comeback role]], which earned him the [[UsefulNotes/AcademyAward Oscar]] for Best Supporting Actor), ''Film/{{Suddenly}}'', ''Film/TheManWithTheGoldenArm'', and ''Film/TheManchurianCandidate''. Speaking of Oscars, Sinatra also took home the award for Best Original Song three times (and was nominated for two more).

Sinatra was ''decades'' ahead of the curve regarding race relations. In one case, he forced a hotel to desegregate by announcing that either they would allow Creator/SammyDavisJr (and other black people) to stay there, or he and a number of other members of the Creator/RatPack would not only ''not'' stay there, but they also wouldn't perform there either. The pressure applied by him and his fellow Rat Packers were instrumental in causing UsefulNotes/LasVegas to become one of the first cities to fully desegregate.
Perhaps one of the first performers to induce [[{{Squee}} loud shrills and fainting]] in the female population--or, at least, he [[AstroTurf seemed to be]]. And if some of that was hype, he definitely induced lightheadedness with his generosity; Sinatra was a huge tipper. ''[[NiceToTheWaiter Huge]]''. His minimum tip was $100 -- and this was in the ''Fifties''. Today, that's like tipping somebody one thousand dollars. Creator/DonRickles once said, "If you got Sinatra's table, you were buying real estate in Paris the next day." The story goes, he asks the kid who brings his car around outside the restaurant what's the biggest tip he ever got. Kid says $100. Sinatra gives him $200, then asks who gave him the $100 tip. "You did, sir, last week."
