a Chris Rojeka s study Frank Sinatra is simply brilliantIt is far and away the best study of Sinatra and a U.S. popular singer that I have read. While there are a small row of classics on the great rock singers, pop performers like Sinatra have mainly received celebrity gossip treatment. Rojeka s study however, deeply probes Sinatraa s celebrity status, including his singing career, his film work, his nightclub and concert tours, his connections with major politicians, and more notoriously, with the Mafia and a series of highly publicized sex scandals.a Doug Kellner, University of California, Los Angeles
