Sinatra had followed in his father’s footsteps, singing a similar style of music. Like his father, he also dabbled in acting, providing voice work for Family Guy and appearing as himself in HBO’s hit New Jersey mob series The Sopranos.

In addition to his work as an entertainer, Sinatra was also known for the 1963 kidnapping scandal. At 19 years old, Sinatra was held by two men for three days before his father paid the $240,000 ransom.

Sinatra is survived by his son Michael Sinatra, and sisters Nancy and Tina Sinatra. His father died in 1998, aged 82, of a heart attack.
