Frank Sinatra: The Artist and His Music

Frank Sinatra: The Artist and His Music

David Morrell isnâ€™t only an acclaimed thriller author and the creator of Rambo in his novel First Blood. Heâ€™s also a former professor of American Studies who writes in-depth profiles about film and music legends.

Frank Sinatraâ€™s dramatic life sometimes upstaged his genius. Although he was the greatest interpretive singer of the recording era, some commentators emphasize his boozing, brawling, and womanizing rather than his brilliance as a performer, or else they take his brilliance for granted rather than attempt to explain it.

In FRANK SINATRA: THE ARTIST AND HIS MUSIC, award-winning author David Morrell discusses the talent and determination that led Sinatra to progress from being a singing waiter to becoming the Chairman of the Board. Many Sinatra fans might be surprised to learn that this intensely autobiographical singer had a face that was permanently scarred from birth. They might also be surprised that, despite the legend that he was a â€œnaturalâ€ singer, Sinatra took vocal lessons from a Metropolitan Opera singer. In his formative years, he invented a new way for singers to breathe and used this amazing technique to channel his self-described manic-depression into interpreting songs as they had never been done before.

These are only some of the topics that David Morrell analyzes in his rare approach to this powerful singerâ€™s craft. Based on more than forty years of listening and reading, Morrell provides an in-depth analysis of Sinatraâ€™s musical career. After you read it, you might never listen to Sinatra or any other singer the same way again.
