On May 14th, legendary crooner, Frank Sinatra, died of a heart attack at the age of 82 in Los Angeles. Sinatra had been in failing health for a few years and was with his wife when he passed away. Bono of U2 (who worked with Sinatra on a track from Duets) said of the man: "Frank Sinatra was the 20th century. He was modern, he was complex, he had swing and he had attitude. He was the boss but he was always Frank Sinatra. We won't see the likes of him again. He was the big bang of pop - the man invented pop music." Tony Bennett said of Sinatra: "The master is gone but his voice will live forever." Sinatra's music surged sharply during a weekend of tributes and remembrances to the singer following his death. Some stores reported to Reuters sales 10 times more than normal. The most popular LPs have been Sinatra's latest collaboration projects: Duets and Duets II.
