Just in time for the Chairman's centennial, the endlessly absorbing
sequel to James Kaplan's bestselling Frank: The Voice Finally the
definitive biography that Frank Sinatra, justly termed 'The
Entertainer of the Century,' deserves and requires. Like Peter
Guralnick on Elvis, Kaplan goes behind the legend to give us the
man in full, in his many guises and aspects: peerless singer,
(sometimes) powerful actor, business mogul, tireless lover and
associate of the powerful and infamous. In 2010's Frank: The Voice,
James Kaplan, in rich, distinctive, compulsively-readable prose,
told the story of Frank Sinatra's meteoric rise to fame, subsequent
failures, and reinvention as a star of the stage and screen. The
story of 'Ol' Blue Eyes; continues with Sinatra: The Chairman,
picking up the day after Frank claimed his Academy Award in 1954
and had reestablished himself as the top recording artist in music.
Frank's life post-Oscar was incredibly dense: in between recording
albums and singles, he often shot four or five movies a year; did
TV show and nightclub appearances; started his own label, Reprise;
and juggled his considerable commercial ventures (movie production,
the restaurant business, even prizefighter management) alongside
his famous and sometimes notorious social activities and
commitments.
