The Sinatra Treasures - Tapa dura

204 black-and-white and colour illustrations, 30 removable artifacts and a 60-minute CD.
Created in conjunction with The Frank Sinatra Estate, The Sinatra Treasures tells the story of Sinatra's life with rare and never-before-published quotes from those he loved and those he worked with - and from the Chairman of the Board himself. More than 200 hundred black-and-white and full-colour images from several Sinatra archives as well as a script for one of his radio shows and a Sinatra family photo album provide a behind-the-scenes glimpse into Sinatra's world and talent. Also included is a new compilation CD of rare interviews and songs featuring such gems as a monologue onstage at the Sands Hotel and Sinatra singing a parody of 'High Hopes' for John F. Kennedy's presidential campaign.
This celebration of the many elements of Frank Sinatra - as singer, as actor, as humanitarian, as friend - brings to life as never before the man who made the standards standard.
