Kaplan's riveting companion to Frank: The Voice debuted just in time for Sinatra's centennial. Meticulously researched, this biography fleshes out the man behind the legend and chronicles Frank's life from his Academy Award win in 1954 for Best Supporting Actor in From Here to Eternity to his death in 1998. "Ol' Blue Eyes" was without a doubt one of the most influential and recognized entertainers of the 20th century. Kaplan does a marvelous job piecing together Sinatra's professional and personal life to give listeners a comprehensive look at the complex man. This dense sequel leaves no stone unturned and examines its subject's successes and failures: movie flops, marriages, music, and mob ties among them. Even ardent Frankophiles will find new stories and material to absorb, and those unfamiliar with his legend will be riveted. Donald Corren beautifully narrates and helps bring to life many of the various accents and song lyrics.
VERDICT An essential biography for any Sinatra collection worth its salt and an absolute must listen. ["This volume completes an impressive biography of Sinatra that currently stands as the most thorough examination of his life": LJ 10/15/15 review of the Doubleday hc.]
