When trumpeter and bandleader Harry James (1916-1983) hired Frank Sinatra (1915-1998) to be the boy singer in his new band in 1939, he paid Sinatra $75 per week.
$75 per week is $3,900 per year. Adjusted for inflation, that works out to just under $71,500 a year in today's money.
So, $75 a week was pretty good money to start a career on!
