In celebration of his one-hundredth birthday, a charming,
irresistibly readable, and handsomely packaged look back at the
life and times of the greatest entertainer in American history,
Frank Sinatra.Sinatra's Century is an irresistible collection of
one-hundred short reflections on the man, his music, and his
larger-than-life story, by a lifetime fan who also happens to be
one of the poetry world's most prominent voices. David Lehman uses
each of these short pieces to look back on a single facet of the
entertainer's story--from his childhood in Hoboken, to his
emergence as "The Voice" in the 1940s, to the wild professional
(and romantic) fluctuations that followed. Lehman offers new
insights and revisits familiar stories--Sinatra's dramatic love
affairs with some of the most beautiful stars in Hollywood,
including Lauren Bacall, Marilyn Monroe, and Ava Gardner; his fall
from grace in the late 1940s and resurrection during the "Capitol
Years" of the 1950s; his bonds with the rest of the Rat Pack; and
his long tenure as the Chairman of the Board, viewed as the
eminence grise of popular music inspiring generations of artists,
from Bobby Darin to Bono to Bob Dylan.Brimming with Lehman's own
lifelong affection for Sinatra, the book includes lists of
unforgettable performances; engaging insight on what made Sinatra
the model of American machismo--and the epitome of romance; and
clear-eyed assessments of the foibles that impacted his life and
work. Warm and enlightening, Sinatra's Century is full-throated
appreciation of Sinatra for every fan.
