Sinatra: The Life ReviewImagine my delight upon discovering that my favorite pop biographer had produced a book about my favorite singer. Anthony Summers has previously penned in-depth biographies of Marilyn Monore, Richard Nixon and J. Edgar Hoover (as well as the definitive book on the JFK assassination). Now with co-author Robbyn Swan comes this excellent look at the life of one of America's most important cultural icons, Frank Sinatra.
Summers does not disappoint. Inevitably much of the Sinatra story has been told before (notably in Taraborrell's "Behind the Legend") but Summers adds much about Sinatra's mob connections and fills out a lot about Frank's relationship with various lovers, friends and family.
A New York Times reviewer called "Sinatra" "tacky" but I found it typical Summers: well researched, thorough and engaging. This is by no means a hatchet job, Summers is balanced and moreover respectful of his subject.
To true Sinatraphiles such as myself this latest (it certainly won't be the last) Sinatra biography is a wonderful opportunity to relive an amazing life. The Sinatra revealed here is a complex man of many moods (many of them dark and stormy) with a voracious appetite for women and a ceaseless dedication to producing beautiful music.
Summers starts with a look at Sinatra's Sicilian roots then adds much to the story of his childhood and his rise to super stardom via the big band years. There is a particular emphasis on the early 1950's when Sinatra's star dimmed only to eventually shine brighter than before and the possible role the Mafia played in his career upswing.
This book is a must for Sinatra fans or anyone wanting to learn more about one of the 20th centuries most important entertainers.
Summers leans heavily on "Mr. S" a recent book on Sinatra by his former valet George Jacobs (but always with attribution) and many hours of interviews.Sinatra: The Life Overview
