The primetime special, presented by The Recording Academy®, AEG Ehrlich Ventures and CBS, honors the remarkable legacy of the legendary nine-time GRAMMY winner Frank Sinatra by celebrating the late icon’s 100th birthday with a spectacular lineup of entertainers performing songs made famous by the Chairman of the Board. The live concert taping will be held Wednesday, Dec. 2, 2015, at Wynn Las Vegas Encore Theater. The special will be broadcast in HDTV and 5.1 surround sound on the CBS Television Network on Sunday, Dec. 6, from 9–11 p.m. ET/PT.

“This show is an amazing journey through Frank Sinatra’s music, cast with some of today’s greatest artists,” said three-time GRAMMY winner Don Was, music director for the concert. “In paying homage to Mr. Sinatra’s music and treating his legacy with the utmost respect, most of the artists will sing arrangements as originally crafted for Mr. Sinatra by giants Don Costa, Gordon Jenkins, Quincy Jones, and Nelson Riddle. It’s going to be an incredible show!”

Among Sinatra’s nine GRAMMY wins are three for Album Of The Year for Come Dance With Me (1959), September Of My Years (1965) and A Man And His Music (1966). Additional recognition from The Recording Academy includes a Lifetime Achievement Award, GRAMMY Legend Award, and 13 recordings inducted into the GRAMMY Hall Of Fame®.
