Frank Sinclair(I)
- Writer
Frank Sinclair was born at the U.S. Army hospital on Governor's Island and was raised on the Upper West Side of Manhattan, in Morningside Heights. He is musically inclined, having sung professionally, on and off from age 14 through 40.
Frank learned how to sing and play latin percussion by hanging around with his pals during the late 1960's, in Riverside Park across the street from Grant's Tomb, and at Bethesda Fountain in Central Park. It was during these outings he honed his skills in improvisation, comedy, singing, and more, often in front of large crowds. This whetted his appetite for show business and he soon formed a band in his high school and began to play local high schools, and ultimately gigs throughout the NYC area, performing Doo Wop, Rock and Roll, Latin-Rock, and later, Metal-Influenced Rock. To this day, Frank can still do the lead on "The Lion Sleeps Tonight," in full falsetto, and go as low as Lou Rawls' "You'll Never Find," and many spots in between.
Throughout his life, Frank has had a knack for writing, although his only published works before his film script, "The Laundryman," were a series of fashion articles in from the late 1980's through the 1990's, in a New York City magazine: Leg Show, produced by the Mavety Media Group.
Frank is a self-educated person who can be comfortable talking with most anyone, from a priest, to a prostitute, from a college professor in almost any discipline, to a rocket scientist, to a welder, to a housekeeper, and just about anyone in between.
He has never been one to be "Put In A Box," preferring instead to engage in self-employment, and a 14 year stint in law enforcement in New York City, starting in Co-op City Police Department in the North Bronx, to the N.Y.P.D. He has owned, or had an ownership interest in: a women's hosiery business; wholesale sales; bar ownership; used car wholesale dealership; hospitality; security; photography; various musical bands, among others.
