Frank Sinatra, Jr. (born January 10, 1944) is an American singer and conductor.
He is the son of famed musician Frank Sinatra and his first wife, Nancy Barbato. He was christened Franklin Wayne Emmanuel Sinatra, but later adopted the name "Frank, Jr." The name "Emmanuel" was in honor of Frank, Sr.'s mentor, Manie Sacks, whom Frank, Sr. wanted as the boy's godfather. Supposedly the priest officiating at the christening said that Sacks, as a Jew and obvious non-Catholic, could not serve as godfather. Frank, Sr. got angry and stormed out, and the christening took place somewhere else, with Sacks as the godfather.
Frank, Jr. has always existed in the shadow of his far more famous father. Unlike his sister Nancy, he has never had a major hit recording.
