The Barnes & Noble Review"I think my real ambition is to pass on to others what I know," Frank Sinatra once said. "It took me a long, long time to learn what I now know, and I don't want to die with them." Author and Esquire senior writer Bill Zehme has compiled in this book exactly that. Based on a series of surprising exchanges with Frank Sinatra that appeared in a 1996 Esquire feature, "And Then There Was One," this book presents the unique and undeniable Sinatra mystique in Sinatra's own words, supported by remembrances and quotes from intimates, friends, as well as Zehme's own assessment of what Sinatra personified and scores of classic black and white Sinatra photographs, some never before published. Assembled are the most personal details and minutiae of how the role of Frank Sinatra was played out in everyday life in matters of the heart and heartbreak, coolness and swank, friendship and leadership, drinking and cavorting, tuxedos and snap-brims. Some of the questions: Alone, where does one go in the dark night of the soul? What makes a perfect after-hours joint? How stiff should a stiff drink be? What color should no real man wear? What is the most important thing to look for in a woman? What is the most important a father can tell his children? Capturing the timeless romance, glamour, and classic style of the fifties and sixties, when Sinatra was at the peak of his powers, this book is sure to click with Sinatra fans
