Sinatra: The Photographs

by Andrew Howick, Barbara Sinatra (Foreword)

Few male stars in any medium carried a visual punch like Frank Sinatra. Photographs capture not only his ineffable sense of style, but also his aura of vulnerability, intensity, sexuality, and charm. The Photographs focuses on the decades after the war, when he towered over the American entertainment landscape. These were the years of the Rat Pack and Las Vegas, socializing with Jack Kennedy and Marilyn Monroe, and making music with Nelson Riddle, Count Basie, and Quincy Jones. Featured is the best work by a group of photographers who helped shape the public image of Ted Allan, Bob Willoughby, Ed Thrasher, Sid Avery, and Bernie Abramson. Photographs by these men form the nucleus of the images gathered in this book, which are accompanied by illuminating commentary on Sinatra by the people who knew him best.

This is a very beautiful book with excellent photographies of the one and only Frank Sinatra. I selected some of my favorites for this post, but it is really worth it to have this book displayed on your coffee table. It is a beautiful volume.

This is the cover and editorial information of my book:



The photo that opens the book and one of the many phrases the master uttered in his long life: "May you all live to a hundred and the last voice you hear be mine."

this another Frank Sinatra book, with a forward by Barbara Sinatra. This set of photographs focuses on the decades after the war when Frank was a huge movie star. They show his Rat Pack years and the guys he made music with..

Loved it. Hundreds of pictures and just enough background without having to go out and read a biography.
