Description
No ano do centenário de Frank Sinatra, o segundo e último volume de sua monumental biografia acompanha o artista do auge do sucesso - na música, no cinema, nos negócios - até seus melancólicos dias finais. Quando saiu Frank: a voz, primeiro volume da biografia de Sinatra, os admiradores do cantor norte-americano sabiam que estavam diante de um empreendimento majestoso. Com a prosa rica e viciante de James Kaplan, a história da ascensão de Frank Sinatra (1915-1998) para a fama é também a história do nascimento da cultura de massas, da vida boêmia nos cassinos, do apogeu do rádio, do culto à celebridade. Este segundo volume captura o artista a partir da metade dos anos1950, quando ele começou a se dividir entre os estúdios de gravação e os sets de filmagem, chegando aos anos da maturidade - quando os lapsos de memória no meio de uma canção já anunciavam seus melancólicos dias finais.
