Sinatra got his first real big break when he joined the Harry James Band in July 1939. In January 1940, Frank Sinatra joined the Tommy Dorsey Band in Chicago after leaving the Harry James Band. He stayed with the Dorsey Band until September 1942 before venturing out on a solo career.  And the rest is history!

A terrific investment - the signature of an entertainment legend.
Many people try to sell Sinatra signatures – some authentic, but must are not authentic. Do your research before you buy a Sinatra signature. Rule of thumb – if the price is too good to be true, it probably is. Consult with industry experts like third party authenticators if you are unsure or have doubts.
Frank Sinatra was a willing autograph signer throughout his career (60+ years), however many forgeries and secretarial signatures exist in the market today. It is widely known that Sinatra utilized secretaries to deal with his mail correspondence, including autograph requests, as far back as 1939-1940. Many (some would argue MOST) of the Sinatra signatures you see for sale in the market today are classic examples of secretarial signatures from the 1970's - 1990's or outright forgeries. Do not take on the risk of buying a Sinatra signature that you do not have confidence in. Look for signatures that have credible background and provenance.
