Sylvia Syms was born Sylvia Blagman on December 2, 1917, in Brooklyn. She was one of America's most distinguished cabaret and jazz singers with an appreciation of lyrics. Sylvia discovered the wonders of jazz in the clubs of New York's 52nd Street while still in her teens and was inspired and informally trained by Billie Holiday. Frank Sinatra called her the "Buddha" on account of her short stature, but he was one of her greatest admirers, hailing her as "the best saloon singer in the world". He also produced her 1982 album Syms By Sinatra. She died of a heart attack while performing a tribute program to Frank Sinatra in the Oak Room of the Algonquin Hotel in Manhattan.Cy Coleman

We have been seeing a dramatic shift UPWARD of the value of Authentic Frank Sinatra autographs. Weather or not this is due to high demand, the low supply, the flood of forgeries on Ebay or a combination of all three we can only speculate. Larger Autograph dealers like Fraser's Autographs or History Direct sell a piece like this for $3000-4000. Just check out their web site..
