Frankly Frank

Soundcheck | Jan 27, 2011

Frank Sinatra was a definitive entertainer of the 20th century, ushering in the era of the solo singer, with no shortage of drama. A new biography, Frank: The Voice, chronicles the often-turbulent details behind the life of "Ol’ Blue Eyes," from his humble Hoboken days spent singing for quarters in his family's bar to the rebirth of his career as an Oscar-winning actor. We speak with author James Kaplan. This is a repeat edition of Soundcheck.
