| Synopsis: |
With a foreword by another great singer, Jerry Vale, this book is special in that it's strictly about singing: Sinatra Singing. For this book, the authors called upon a wide variety of artists from Tony Bennett to Michael Feinstein, 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 Singing. Inside you will meet his arrangers, conductors, musicians, read the interviews about his singing career, 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 many special features from The Hit Parade to the history of the song "My Way" and others.This is the Sinatra book you have been waiting for that is indeed different, and that clears away all the dust and lets you in on the important aspects of Sinatra's singing career. You will love the great selection of over 250 photographs - many are rare. |
