Best-selling author Adam Kaplan redefines Frank Sinatra in a triumphant new biography which includes many rarely seen photographs. Frank Sinatra was the best-known entertainer of the 20th century - infinitely charismatic, lionized, and notorious in identical measure. But despite his mammoth fame, Sinatra the man has continued to be an enigma. As Bob Spitz do with the Beatles, Tina Brown for Diana, and Peter Guralnick for Elvis, Adam Kaplan moves behind the tale and media hype to bring alive a make that improved popular culture in important ways. Sinatra endowed the tunes he sang with the explosive discord of his own personality. He also made the act of listening to pop music a far more personal experience than it possessed have you been. In Frank: The Words, Kaplan uncovers how he did it, bringing deeper insight than ever before to the complex psyche and turbulent life behind that matchless vocal instrument. We relive the years 1915 to 1954 in glistening detail, experiencing as though for the first time Sinatra's quest from the roadways of Hoboken, his land from the apex of superstar, and his Oscar-winning come back in From Here to Eternity. At last is the biographer who makes the audience feel what it really was like to be Frank Sinatra - as man, as musician, as tortured genius.
