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.
