Description

Doc Soup Sundays: A Sunday morning Doc Soup spin-off featuring the world's best art, culture and design docs.

Arguably the most celebrated singer of the 20th century, Frank Sinatra remains an enigmatic legend whose following continues to grow long after his lifetime. Born to Italian immigrants in Hoboken, New Jersey, Sinatra paved a singular road to fame, becoming the quintessential American crooner and an accomplished Hollywood leading man. A self-taught natural talent, he was already singing professionally as a teenager and went on to create countless chart-toppers. Follow along on his rise to stardom in this comprehensive chronicle of the triumphs and tragedies of his storied life and find out what lies behind those “Ol’ Blue Eyes.”

James Kaplan, the author of the definitive, two-volume biography, Frank: The Voice and Sinatra: The Chairman will participate in a post-screening Skype Q&A.
