Sinatra: A Life Remembered - Hardcover

Sinatra is the story of the man and his legend, from Frank Sinatra's first public appearance to his long tenure as one of the most remarkable entertainers of this century. Illustrated with more than one hundred full-color and black-and-white photographs, this compelling pictorial biography illuminates every aspect of Frank Sinatra's incredible life and career.

Veteran radio and television journalist Lew Irwin tells Sinatra's story: his early years in Hoboken, his life on the road with the Harry James Orchestra, and his stormy marriage to Nancy Barbato. We meet Sinatra the star, behind the microphone for hundreds of singles and more than fifty albums, and in front of the camera for nearly fifty feature films. We learn why Sinatra credits Gene Kelly with teaching him not only how to dance but also to act, we meet Sinatra the teen idol, and we meet Sinatra the ladies' man. We see his strengths, his weaknesses, his rise, and his fall, and we see him rise again in the September of his years. 

Complete with a detailed sessionography and a comprehensive filmography, Sinatra is a stunning tribute to an American legend.
