What famous singer was nicknamed "Chairman of the Board"?

In 1960, Sinatra decided to grip the reins of his creative endeavors a little tighter by starting his own record label, Reprise Records. Sinatra created the label in the pursuit of securing more creative freedom, which he then extended to other acts like the Kinks, Rosemary Clooney, Sammy Davis, Jr., and more.

It was because of his leadership position at Reprise Records that Sinatra earned the nickname Chairman of the Board. For some reason, the nickname has become second only to Sinatra’s real name, despite its confusing origins for those not in the know.

Radio personality William B. Williams is credited with having dubbed Sinatra with the nickname. Sinatra’s wife, Barbara, once explained that he hated the nickname. Moreover, Reprise Records, wasn’t a lucrative endeavor for Sinatra, making his days as the real Chairman of the Board short-lived.
