According to the author of the Sinatra biography The Way You Wear Your Hat, Bill Zehme, "He never wore brown after dark. Old Blue Eyes was known for his quotes, such as "I'm for anything that gets you through the night, be it prayer, tranquilizers, or a bottle of Jack Daniels," or "You can be the most artistically perfect performer in the world, but an audience is like a broad – if you're indifferent, Endsville," or "May you live to be 100 and may the last voice you hear be mine." He was well-known for his style from women to liquor to clothing. He also claims that he built up his enormous lung capacity (helpful for belting out those long phrases that he was known for) through swimming. He says that he never took voice lessons and could barely read music. Sinatra was known for his colorful character, sometimes tough, but always loved. When Mia found out that her lover, Woody Allen, was having an affair with her adopted daughter, Sinatra asked Mia if she would like for him to arrange to have Woody's legs broken. However, he did remain friends with his many former wives. Sinatra then married Barbara Marx, widow of Zeppo Marx. He should be marrying me." They later divorced.

They did many Vegas performances and movies together. This was also the time that he was known as the leader of the "Rat Pack," which included such characters as Dean Martin, Sammy Davis Jr., Peter Lawford, Joey Bishop, and honorary members such as Milton Berle, Shirley MacLaine and Tony Curtis. He created his own record label, Reprise Records, in the 1960s. In the late 50s, however, he made comeback and was better than ever. It was a painful and low point in his career. In the 1950s, tragedy struck when Sinatra's vocal cords hemorrhaged. In 1942, Sinatra became the idol of the bobby soxers. After a short time he bought out his contract to go solo. He quit the James' band after 7 months to join Tommy Dorsey's swing orchestra. Get that! No one's ever heard of him!
