James Kaplan
Just in time for the Chairman's centennial, the endlessly absorbing sequel to James Kaplan's best-selling 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 2010's Frank: The Voice, James Kaplan, in rich, distinctive, compulsively understandable prose, told the story of Frank Sinatra's meteroic rise to fame, subsequent failures, and reinvention as a star of the stage 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. Frank's life post-Oscar was incredibly dense: In between recording albums and singles, he often shot four or five movies a year; did TV show and nightclub appearances; started his own label, Reprise; and juggled his considerable commercial ventures (movie production, the restaurant business, even prizefighter management) alongside his famous and sometimes notorious social activities and commitments.

I liked the stories about Frank that portrayed him not only as a wealthy man, but also a human. In other words, you can feel his suffering at difficult times in his life. These are things that the public only surmises but never knows.
This is a good book and I thoroughly enjoyed listening to the story of a most iconic singer who impacted the lives of many people.
A very well written work!

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
This is a great book. The first part of this bio, The Voice, was just as well written. Both books are the last word on Sinatra (and Jonathan Schwartz agrees). But... the audiobooks are very different. The narrator of the first book, The Voice, Rob Shapiro, seemed interested in the subject and his warm tone towards the subject made it all stronger. The narrator of THIS book, however, sounds more like Lee Mortimer than a fan or even a neutral observer of Sinatra. He carries a snide undertone re: the singer throughout. Maybe it's just a mannerism?Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Donald Corren?
Rob Shapiro. Absolutely.Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
I was very disappointed in the narration.Any additional comments?
Thank you!Narrator sounds like he dislikes Sinatra!
