Frank Sinatra Higher Read

Frank Sinatra, also known as The Voice, Ol' Blue Eyes, Leader of the Pack, and by countless other titles, was a man of many faces. Part mobster, part philanthropist, part political activist, and part civil rights leader, Frank participated in powerful institutions and movements that shaped America's history. Although married four times and constantly surrounded by women, Frank was able to sing about loneliness with aching authenticity. He made teen girls swoon, beautiful women tremble, and grown men cry. Frank's intense personal dramas with women, the press, and the Mafia are intertwined with his musical career and the songs that will live on in the world's collective consciousness. Emerging from a poor immigrant neighborhood, Frank sang the country through massive changes and came to be the voice of urban America. Frank Sinatra: A Life Worth Reading brings you all the successes, falls, and scandals that made Leader of the Pack a controversial public figure. An entertaining biography with special "in Brief" sections on the people and events that surrounded and shaped Frank's life, this book will give you the whole picture.
