In close partnership with the Sinatra family, SINATRA 100 - AN ALL-STAR GRAMMY CONCERT is the only televised concert special celebrating Sinatra's centennial. Through the generosity of the family, the concert will feature artists performing instantly recognizable arrangements originally orchestrated for "The Chairman of the Board" by renowned arrangers Don Costa, Gordon Jenkins, Quincy Jones and Nelson Riddle. The special will keep the honoree center stage throughout the night by integrating tribute performances of Sinatra classics with rare archival footage narrated by Sinatra himself.

Among Sinatra's nine GRAMMY Award 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.

SINATRA 100 - AN ALL-STAR GRAMMY CONCERT, continues the tradition of previous Emmy Award®-winning TV specials presented by The Recording Academy, AEG Ehrlich Ventures, and CBS: STEVIE WONDER: SONGS IN THE KEY OF LIFE - AN ALL-STAR GRAMMY SALUTE and The Beatles: The Night That Changed America - A GRAMMY Salute.
