How you know him: The jazz legend was on the front line during World War II, marched with Martin Luther King in the '60s, and rose to fame with classic songs such as "I Left My Heart in San Francisco" — but in the '70s he lost his record deal and almost died from a cocaine overdose. After bouncing back, he went on to win 16 Grammys. He has been married three times, has two children, and as a side project, his artwork sells for up to $70,000 a piece. He says he will never retire and most recently released a duets album with Lady Gaga.
