No sooner had the series finale of NBC's "Seinfeld" ended at 11 p.m. Pacific time on May 14, 1998, than the news flashed across TV screens that Frank Sinatra -- the man with the golden voice, the Oscar-winning actor, the Chairman of the Board and the head of the Rat Pack -- had died at the age of 82.<br>
<br>
Though he's been gone a decade, Ol' Blue Eyes certainly hasn't been forgotten. His recordings, movies and TV specials are still popular. In commemoration of the 10th anniversary of his death, Hoboken's favorite son is getting his own 42-cent stamp. Turner Classic Movies is devoting its Sunday and Wednesday prime-time programming to Sinatra throughout May. And on Tuesday, Warner Home Video is releasing four sets of Sinatra's films. Several, including "The Tender Trap," are making their DVD debuts.<br>

Though Sinatra often coasted through his films -- especially in some of his 1960s fare -- when he was good, he was fantastic. Here's a look at several of Frankie's iconic performances.
