A celebration of Sinatra’s enduring impact on American entertainment and cultural life.

For nearly sixty years, Frank Sinatra [1915-98] triumphed in concert, in the recording studio, on television, and on the big screen, refashioning his image to suit the temper of the times. Sinatra did it “his way,” remaining bothelusive and alluring, and appealing to men and women alike.
This collection analyzes the qualities that ensured Sinatra’s staying power: his impeccable musicality, his charisma, his tough-mindedness, and even his peccadilloes. The contributors to this volume evaluate Sinatra’s impact on all areas of entertainment, and examine many of the cultural forces he influenced and was influenced by, including Bing Crosby, Elvis, the “Beats,” the Beatles, and Rock ‘n’ Roll.
What emerges is a portrait of an artist, entertainment icon, and legendary symbol of popular culture. This appreciation of the Sinatra phenomenon celebrates his enduring impact on American entertainment and cultural life.
