Frank Sinatra by John Frayn Turner
Frank Sinatra is an international icon who continues to hold endless fascination for millions of fans. In this authoritative biography, John Frayn Turner examines every aspect of Ol' Blue Eyes' charisma, character, life, loves, failings, and fame. Fresh and objective-and not obsessed with mafia allegations-it is a book about Sinatra the good guy as well as the bad. From his humble beginnings in working class Hoboken, to his start in the business singing with Harry James and Tommy Dorsey, through the scandals, the loves, the music and the movies, Frank Sinatra looks closely at Sinatra the singer, actor, philanthropist, and man-a three-dimensional view of a complex genius.
A Brilliant and meticulously researched study of one of the greatest performing artists of all timeA fascinating glimpse into the genius of a man who remains unrivaled in the world of entertainment. -- Ron Della Chiesa, Host of "StrictlySinatra", WPLM, Plymouth,
