Legendary singer-actor Frank Sinatra's little black book has been sold at an auction for USD 8,960.
The leather address book of one of the most popular and influential musical artists of the 20th century, features the names and numbers of friends such as John Wayne and Sidney Poitier, as well as influential political figures, reported New York Post.
The book, which dates back to the 1970s, was filled with contacts of industry insiders like Jerry Weintraub, who was Elvis Presley's promoter.
The auctioning of the address book comes weeks after it was reported that the "New York, New York" singer's custom-designed California villa had gone on sale for USD 3.9 million.
