He'd reinvent himself every few decades. The Bobby Soxer, the crooner, the balladeer, the actor, the comedian, the Rat Pack capo, the family man? Just a slight clarification: a bobby soxer was a teenage girl like all those screaming girls in the old footage of Frank's 1940s appearances. They were called such because of the "bobbed" or short socks they often wore with their sandals or saddle shoes. A bobby soxer was usually the fan of the crooner.
