On Dec. 12, today, Frank Sinatra's birthday, the U.S. Postal Service has unveiled the image of 'Ol Blue Eyes that'll be used on his upcoming postage stamp.
Wearing one of his trademark tailor-made suits, and showing those pearly whites the playful glint in those famous blue eyes are quite evident. The stamp, whose art was adapted from a 1950s photograph, will go on sale at some point in the spring.
"This would have been one of his happiest days," Sinatra's children Nancy, Frank Jr. and Tina, said in a joint statement. The Hoboken, New Jersey native, passed away in 1998 and would have been 92 today.
