Michael Ochs Archives/GettyImagesWhen you die you can pass on your money to your kids. You can leave them your car and your house and your tropical parrot collection.
But your image-what you look and sound like-that's a trickier issue. Especially when it's the most valuable thing you own. Today on the show: How Frank Sinatra's family made his image, and maybe yours, last forever.
Music: Frank Sinatra's "I'm Gonna Live Till I Die", "The Best Is Yet To Come", and "All Of Me". Find us: Twitter/ Facebook/ Spotify/ Tumblr.
