Fifty years ago I heard Sinatra fans making excuses, “One must separate the artist from his art!!”

Others referred to him as “Frank Not-so-hotra”.

Sinatra once called a Jewish guy the worst possible insult to a Jew. Joe Kaplan or whoever it was busted all of Frank’s front caps with a single punch & nearly got elected mayor of Las Vegas because of it.

I must admit I still like his “Something Stupid” duet with daughter Nancy. “It Was a Very Good Year” was good, too.

Was Something Stupid really a duet? It sounds like she's completely in the background.

He singing Things with Dean Martin was more of a duet.

Oh, no, those years produced some pretty mediocre work, IMO. Nothing compared to his early stuff:
