Ol’ Blue Eyes Honored With Stamp

  I  

Frank Jr., Nancy and Tina Sinatra joined Postmaster General John Potter in unveiling a larger than life-sized image of the 120 million commemorative stamps that will honor their father when issued next spring. The announcement came on what would have been Sinatra’s 92nd birthday.

Art director Richard Sheaff of Scottsdale, Ariz., worked with stamp artist Kazuhiko Sano of Mill Valley, CA, to create the image based on a photograph of Sinatra. The stamp depicts Sinatra’s charismatic smile, trademark Fedora and cobalt blue eyes that earned him the nickname ‘Ol’ Blue Eyes.’ Sinatra’s autograph also appears on the stamp.

    “There’s nothing quite like it,” Springs says of working with an orchestra. “It’s 60 people working in harmony in the moment. Singing with them is kind of empowering but also humbling at the same time.”
