Summary

Hello to my faithful readers. I am happy to say that I finally tackled a book about America's greatest singer FRANK SINATRA. This book is special in that it's strictly about singing and singers: Sinatra Singing. For this book I called upon a wide variety of artists who were asked to explain how they sing, how they practice their craft, especially before a recording session or in preparation for a live concert, and how and if they learned anything from Sinatra by listening or studying him. Did Sinatra inspire them? If so, they tell us about it. You will find lots of things not included in this book. Things that are usually part of most Sinatra books: The Rat Pack, Ava Gardner and his other wives and friends, the angst and trouble that filled some of Sinatra's life. This is a book about SINATRA SINGING. Inside you will meet his arrangers, conductors, musicians, the songwriters, the songs, technical notes on bel canto, breathing, vocal cord problems, conquering stage fright, song polls taken over the years, singing instruction, the albums, and more. This is the Sinatra book you have been waiting for that is indeed different, and that clears away all the dust and let's you in on the important aspects of Sinatra's singing career. You will love the great selection of 250 photos. Many are rare. The 420 page book will be ready in June and all books will be signed to yourself or anyone you designate. I invite you to purchase this book before it will be available in bookstores or amazon.com, and at a special price with free shipping ( within the 48), and low shipping cost elsewhere. Thanks, once again, for your loyalty and hope you enjoy Sinatra Singing. Hello to my faithful readers. I am happy to say that I finally tackled a book about America's greatest singer FRANK SINATRA.

Numerous spects of his life as a singer are addressed including his arrangers, songwriters, favorite musicians, singing style, impact on fellow singers, recording history, landmark concerts, and his own personal thoughts on his craft.
