Frank Sinatra is more than a legend. He is perhaps the only image of America that has remained impeccable no matter what.
This book is considered his best biography. And not only because its author, J. Randy Taraborrelli, admitted to the "inner circle" of his idol, spent many years gathering memories and stories about Frank from nearly five hundred of his acquaintances (including his closest relatives). But also because, in a sense, the book was "blessed" by Sinatra himself, who felt that it was Taraborrelli who managed more deeply and accurately than all the other biographers to reveal the complex, contradictory, restless, extraordinarily profound nature of "Mr. Blue Eyes" — not so much Sinatra the musician as Sinatra the man.
And also because from the pages of this book sounds Sinatra’s living voice — his memories of childhood and youth, reflections on music, concise and sometimes biting comments about show business and politics, warm words about friends allow the reader to feel one-on-one with the greatest, the only, the incomparable Frank Sinatra.
