Drawing from the Sinatra family's private archive, FRANK SINATRA: THE FAMILY ALBUM vividly chronicles the private life of America's iconic star. Accompanied by unique firsthand recollections and stories from Nancy Sinatra and other family and close friends, these color and black-and-white images are bound in an elegant package designed in the form of a family album. Fans of Frank Sinatra will see the star clowning with his accompanist, relaxing on the sets of his movies, vacationing with his family on the beach, and well over 100 other images, many of them taken by Sinatra himself. FRANK SINATRA: THE FAMILY ALBUM will feature the images and behind-the-curtain stories that only a family can provide---and that fans love.
This kind of made me sad. In the sense that I was definitely born in the wrong century, haha. I hope I age half as gracefully as this magnificent man did.
The pix are great fun. Could've done without a lot of the commentary though, which tended toward stuff like "I think Daddy looked really cute in this one!" (Nancy & Co.) or "He put his whole soul into every single word he sang. The man lived for his music" (Accompaniers). Or: "He was a beautiful human being. I loved him" (Frank).
