Sinatra Singing

by Richard Grudens, Madeline Grudens (Editor)

This is a book about singing, Sinatra Singing! The loving foreword is by another singer, me, Jerry Vale. Inside there are many singers who learned to sing from following just how Frank Sinatra did it, including me, then geared their own career because of his influence. It takes you from his days with Tommy Dorsey, Harry James, and his own exploding singing career that had its roots in the New York Paramount appearances and developed at Columbia & Capitol Records and Reprise Records with some great concerts inbetween. The book stars my fellow singers Tony Bennett, Patty Andrews, Vic Damone, Michael Feinstein, Carol Kidd, Tony (B.) Babino, Pat Boone, Peggy Lee, Cristina Fontanelli, Michael Buble, Tony Desere, Julia Keefe, Lou Lanza, Roberto "Weatherman" Tirado, Johnny Mathis, and Bruce Springsteen, and from the past Matt Monro, Connie Haines, Milded Bailey, Ella Fitzgerald, and Billie Holiday, among others.
