About this audiobook
With the help and full cooperation of friends, family and associates, Nancy Sinatra has compiled an incredible, in depth look at the life of this fascinating performer. Listen to Frank himself on the subject of Ol' Blue Eyes, alongside the greats who have always surrounded him: from his early days on the radio with Tommy Dorsey; entertaining troops with Bob Hope; on stage with Sammy Davis Jr. and Bing Crosby; and even a rare recording on the subject of politics with John F. Kennedy.
