The Public Eye: James Kaplan

Program: 
Date: 
Tuesday, November 9, 2010 - 4:28pm

He provided the soundtrack for several generations of Americans trying to navigate the rocky shoals of romance and grapple with love and heartbreak. And he became one of 20th-century pop culture’s quintessential men of contradictions: the bullying tough guy whose singing could radiate a remarkable tenderness and vulnerability; the ring-a-ding-ding Vegas sophisticate with an existential outlook on life; the jaunty urbanite who could deliver a torch song like no one else. Fans could recognize his voice from two or three perfectly phrased syllables, and they knew him instantly from his style: the rakishly tilted hat, the coat slung over one shoulder, the Camels and Jack Daniel’s. Join host Al Vuona as he talks with James Kaplan, author of Frank - The Voice, about singing sensation Frank Sinatra. That's Sunday, November 14th at 10:30 pm!
