Publisher's Synopsis
In this unique tribute, journalist and award-winning author Pete Hamill remembers Frank Sinatra. Drawing upon intimate conversations over many years, Hamill evokes the essence of Sinatra - examining his art and his legend from the inside. Shaped by Prohibition, the Depression and WWII, Sinatra became the troubadour of urban loneliness; with his songs, he enabled millions of others to tell their own stories, thus providing an entire generation with a sense of tradition and pride. Illustrated with B & W photographs.
