Warner Music Group is going all the way with Old Blue Eyes.

The family of Frank Sinatra and WMG have established a worldwide partnership to integrate content and rights management under a single entity, Frank Sinatra Enterprises. FSE will manage all aspects of Sinatra’s contributions to music, film and stage and administer all licenses for the use of his name and likeness.

FSE will own Sinatra’s recordings from the Reprise era as well as films, television specials and unreleased footage, photos and audio recordings. FSE will also represent the artist’s rights to the Columbia and Capitol catalogs. Accord reps Warner Music’s first “360 deal” involving a legacy act.

The Sinatra family, represented by his children Nancy, Tina and Frank Jr., intends to pursue new product and venture opportunities through FSE.
