Rated 5 out of 5 by from Was recommended this by a friend and.. My friend knew I was a Sinatra fan and suggested this book. This book is not really about his music, but rather about the lifestyle surrounding it. Frank walks us through what it was/is like to be an alpha male in classy way. This is a book you'll likely want to read over and over.
