Description: Presented in a laminated, embossed cover to resemble an actual photo album, this visual biography of Frank Sinatra traces his life in more than 100 family snapshots and other photos from Sinatra's private archives, accompanied by recollections and stories from family members and friends.
Here you'll see Frank as a boy, already sporting his fedora; his courtship with Nancy and their early life together; his debut as a solo artist at the Hollywood Bowl; recording sessions at Capitol and Reprise; and his life with public figures from Louis Armstrong and Peggy Lee to Eleanor Roosevelt and John F. Kennedy. Here too is Frank the devoted father and grandfather, laughing on family outings and working professionally with Nancy Jr. and Frank Jr.
