Iconic Artists Group Secures Portion of Frank Sinatra's Legacy
15 Oct
Summary
- Iconic Artists Group acquires part of Frank Sinatra's estate
- Deal includes Sinatra's Reprise-era recordings and rights
- Expands Iconic's portfolio of legendary artist estates
In a significant move, Iconic Artists Group (IAG) has secured a portion of the Frank Sinatra estate. The announcement was made by IAG founder Irving Azoff during a recent appearance at Bloomberg's Screentime Conference in Los Angeles.
The deal, confirmed by Frank Sinatra Enterprises (FSE), will see IAG collaborate with Sinatra's family and Warner Music Group (WMG) to manage various aspects of the iconic singer's career and legacy. This includes ownership of Sinatra's Reprise-era recordings, as well as his rights to the Columbia and Capitol catalogs.
The acquisition further strengthens IAG's position as a leading curator of legendary artist estates. The company already manages the legacy of fellow Rat Packer Dean Martin and has agreements with the estates of artists like The Beach Boys, Linda Ronstadt, and Nat King Cole.
Azoff also hinted at the potential shift in the most valuable music catalog, suggesting that Taylor Swift may now surpass The Beatles in that regard. This underscores the evolving landscape of the music industry and the enduring appeal of timeless artists like Sinatra.
