Full of commentary by the people who knew him best, this exceptional collection of photographs showcases Frank Sinatra like never before.
 
Nobody packed a visual punch like Frank Sinatra. With his clothes, his gestures, his posture, and even his facial expressions, Sinatra exuded a confident swagger that inspired generations. Photographs capture not only his ineffable sense of style, but also his aura of vulnerability, intensity, sexuality, and charm.
 
Sinatra: The Photographs focuses on the decades after World War II, when he towered over the American entertainment landscape. These were the years of the Rat Pack and Las Vegas, socializing with Jack Kennedy and Marilyn Monroe, and making music with Nelson Riddle, Count Basie, and Quincy Jones.
 
Featured here is the best work by a group of photographers—Ted Allan, Bob Willoughby, Ed Thrasher, Sid Avery, and Bernie Abramson—who helped shape the public image of an immortal legend.
 
“Andrew Howick, who helps curate and edit one of the world’s largest collections of photos of Sinatra, collects a stunning array of photographs that helped shape the singer’s persona.” —Publishers Weekly

    Reviewed in the United States on December 23, 2015

    I bought this book for my mother who is a Sinatra fan since her teens. I'm a fan too, since I've been listening to his music all my life. I remember her old 48 rpm discs of Frank with Tommy Dorsey. When I was 3 we moved to the suburbs and my mom started collecting the Capitol albums. To this day that is still my favorite music. Back to the book, there are photos from recording sessions, Vegas shows with the Rat Pack, behind the scenes shots, pictures with family, friends, and other great performers. If you are a fan of Sinatra and of the music of this era, this is a nice book to own.

    Ótimo livro . . Somente por ser um livro com fotos únicas , bom seria algum dia comprar versão impressa , porque um livro tão significativo como esse , ler no tablet fica aquele gostinho de " quero mais ".... Quando se trata de livros com fotos , aprendi que o melhor é a versão impressa, ainda mais se a pessoa passou dos 50 anos....
