Just in time for the Chairmans centennial, the endlessly absorbing sequel to James Kaplans bestselling Frank The Voice—finally the definitive biography that Frank Sinatra, justly termed The Entertainer of the Century, deserves and requires. Like Peter Guralnick on Elvis, Kaplan goes behind the legend to give us the man in full, in his many guises and aspects peerless singer, sometimes powerful actor, business mogul, tireless lover, and associate of the powerful and infamous. In 2010s Frank The Voice, James Kaplan, in rich, distinctive, compulsively readable prose, told the story of Frank Sinatras meteoric rise to fame, subsequent failures, and reinvention as a star of live performance and screen. The story of Ol Blue Eyes continues with Sinatra The Chairman, picking up the day after Frank claimed his Academy Award in 1954 and had reestablished himself as the top recording artist in music.
