Publisher's Note
Frank Sinatra has been called "the most famous man of the century." While he occupied center stage he was loved as much for his music making as he was reviled for his public bad temper. He gained fame, wealth, and power; and influenced the lives of millions. He was, quite simply, the troubadour of his age. A kid from Hoboken who touched all the bases, Sinatra began with no apparent talent at all and went on to accomplish what most people can only dream of. And he did it his way--which was according to the rules of the world in which he lived. A master of vocal phrasing, he is acknowledged as the best interpreter of the best American songs. While the Big Band Era was still going strong, he became the first pop singer. He convinced Gene Kelly to teach him how to dance and became the star of MGM musicals. His red-hot love affair with Ava Gardner was conducted on the front pages, with no holds barred and no apologies made. And when it looked like he was washed up, he turned a role as a scrawny loser into an Oscar winning performance. In his careless way, Sinatra created the soundtrack of our lives, representing us to ourselves better than anybody else. This is the first biography to place the life and art of an icon within the cultural history of our time.
Sinatra has been reviled for his public bad temper as much as he is loved for his music. But the man we meet in these pages is Sinatra the artist and performer, the master interpreter of the best American songs. He began as a young man with no apparent talent, and went on to accomplish what most people can only dream of. While the Big Band era was going strong he became its first major pop singer. He was the biggest name in radio when the country was united by the airwaves. He convinced Gene Kelly to teach him how to dance and became the star of MGM musicals. His love affair with Ava Gardner was conducted on the front pages, shocking the public, but no apologies were made. And when it looked like his career was over, he turned a role as a scrawny loser into an Oscar winning performance.
