The stamp image will be unveiled next Wednesday — Sinatra's birthday — at a ceremony in Beverly Hills, Calif.
While the stamp will be for first-class mail, the rate has not been announced. Currently the letter rate is 41 cents but the postal governing board is thought likely to raise the price next year.
Under new rules a hike in the letter rate would be limited to the rate of inflation, probably to 42 cents if it does go up in the spring.
During his career Sinatra won an Oscar, several Grammy awards and was recognized at the Kennedy Center honours in 1983. President Reagan awarded him the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 1985.
He was born in Hoboken, N.J. in 1915 and died in 1998. The Hoboken Post Office was renamed in his honor in 2002.
Tom Terrell's sister, Bevadine, informed family and friends today that Tom's battle with cancer ended this morning, November 29, at 5:05am. "I'm happy to say that Tom's final days were pain free and peaceful," said family friend Sean Barlow (Afropop worldwide). "He was constantly surrounded by his loving family and friends during his time in the hospital/hospice. The outpouring of love helped Tom stay positive and strong through to the end."
Tom discovered earlier this year he had prostate cancer that had spread to his bones. He was without health insurance which made his situation more difficult.
A DC native, Tom Terrell worked in the music industry mix since the early 80s. He served as Publicity Manager for Verve Records, NPR Commentator, liner note writer and contributor to Global Rhythm, Jazziz, Vibe, Trace and Essence, DJ at DC’s 9:30 Club and Alt Rock Champions WHFS-FM.
"You may have heard his idiosyncratic reviews of Afropop and world music CDs on NPR's "All Things Considered," said Sean Barlow. "He charmed ten million people at a pop! Tom was a pioneering world music journalist whose chops, taste and gregarious sense of humor won over his audience and colleagues alike."
Yeah here we go for the hundredth time, Hand grenade pins in every line Throw 'em up and let something shine Going out of my fucking mind Filthy mouth, no excuse Find a new place to hang this noose String me up from atop these roofs Knot it tight so I won't get loose Truth is you can stop and stare Bled myself out and no one cares Dug a trench out, laid down there With a shovel up out to reach somewhere Yea someone pour it in, Make it a dirt dance floor again Say your prayers and stomp it out When they bring that chorus in
I bleed it out Digging deeper just to throw it away I bleed it out Digging deeper just to throw it away I bleed it out Digging deeper just to throw it away Just to throw it away Just to throw it away
I bleed it out Go, stop the show Chop your words in a sloppy flow Shotgun opera, lock and load Cock it back and then watch it go Mama help me, I've been cursed Death is rolling in every verse Candypaint on his brand new hearse Can't contain him, he knows he works Fuck this hurts, I won't lie Doesn't matter how hard I try Half the words don't mean a thing And I know that I won't be satisfied So why, try ignoring him Make your dirt dance floor again Say your prayers and stomp it out When they bring that chorus in
I bleed it out I've opened up these scars I'll make you face this I pulled myself so far
