Produktbeschreibung

This national bestseller capturing the legend's wit and wisdom is "a strictly fun style guide for men, with Ol' Blue Eyes as muse" ( Entertainment Weekly )

In The Way You Wear Your Hat, author Bill Zehme presents a masterful assembly of the most personal details and gorgeous minutiae of Frank Sinatra's way of living-matters of the heart and heartbreak, friendship and leadership, drinking and cavorting, brawling and wooing, tuxedos and snap-brims-all crafted from rare interviews with Sinatra himself as well as many other intimates, including Tony Bennett, Don Rickles, Angie Dickinson, Tony Curtis, and Robert Wagner, in addition to daughters Nancy and Tina Sinatra.

Capturing the timeless romance and classic style of the fifties and the loose sixties, The Way You Wear Your Hat is a stunning exploration of the Sinatra mystique.

"Not really a biography, it's funny and illuminating without being either lurid or sentimental." -Elvis Costello

" The Way You Wear Your Hat is a warm, wacky, irreverent . . . look at Frank's take on and philosophy of life, by an author who understands what it means to be Frank Sinatra. With a little help from the man's own words, Bill Zehme captures the contradictions: the simplicity and the style, the passion and the ice, the party and the pain . . . the winner who loses and the loser who wins . . . stories that capture the nature and the essence of the man who invented cool." -Nancy Sinatra
