![]() ![]() His first book, a biography of Al Jolson, became a hit West End musical show and a TV special on both sides of the Atlantic. Michael Freedland is the author of 3 1 books, mostly biographies of leading personalities and figures in the world of music - among them studies of Leonard Bernstein, Irving Berlin, Danny Kaye and Sean Connery. It has become almost a research project, as there was so much material he produced and so much written about him and his arrangers and musicians.Table of contents : FRONT COVER MICHAEL FREEDLAND ALSO BY MICHAEL FREEDLAND FULL TITLE PAGE ISBN: 0-75281-662-4 CONTENTS ILLUSTRATIONS ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS PROLOGUE 1 YESTERDAY 2 NANCY ( WITH THE LAUGHING FACE ) 3 NICE WORK IF YOU CAN GET IT 4 I'VE GOT THE WORLD ON A STRING 5 MELODY OF LOVE 6 MY HAPPINESS 7 HIGH HOPES 8 SAME OLD SONG AND DANCE 9 MY ONE AND ONLY LOVE 10 THE MUSIC STOPPED 11 FROM HERE TO ETERNITY 12 DON'T WORRY 'BOUT ME 13 MAKIN' WHOOPEE 14 THE GAL THAT GOT AWAY 15 WHY SHOULD I CRY OVER YOU? 16 THEY CAN'T TAKE THAT AWAY FROM ME 17 TIME AFTER TIME 18 COME RAIN OR SHINE 19 CAN I STEAL A LITTLE LOVE? 20 I'M WALKING BEHIND YOU 21 DON'T BLAME ME 22 HEY, JEALOUS LOVER 23 SAME OLD SATURDAY NIGHT 24 ILL WIND 25 THE GIRL NEXT DOOR 26 LOVE ME OR LEAVE ME 27 SOMETHING STUPID 28 LITTLE WHITE LIES 29 NICE 'N' EASY 30 NOTHING IN COMMON 31 AROUND THE WORLD 32 YOU MAKE ME FEEL SO YOUNG 33 TOO CLOSE FOR COMFORT 34 ALL THE WAY POSTSCRIPT INDEX Citation preview I find it useful to refer to relevant parts of the books when listening to tracks and albums. Sinatra really was extraordinary as a singer and performer. It certainly did with both me, and my partner too. The experience will change the way you think about Sinatra. So both books are worth getting.Īnd, if you really want to listen properly to Sinatra, forget digital, (unless they are very high resolution files), and get hold of some of the reissued 180 gram vinyl recordings on DOL label, (or even good second-hand Capitol or the earlier Reprise vinyl),and a really good audio system / quality vinly record deck. I finished reading Nelson Riddle's biography, 'September in the rain', before I ordered this one, and there is a lot of references in that to working with Sinatra, and detail about various tracks they made together and albums. Quite a bit about the various studios and recordings / technical issues, which interested me. So far, very informative and lots of interesting pictures too. Have not read the entire book yet but had dipped a lot into various sections.
