Frank Sinatra 1915-1998
David Stubbs, Uncut, July 1998
IN A SENSE, Frank Sinatra represented a lie. Much as beneath Bing Crosby's ambling, indolent persona lay a pointedly less easy-going character, Sinatra was actually a far cry from the sweet, put-upon character he portrayed in many of his films High Society, The Man With The Golden Arm, Guys And Dolls or the immaculately sensitive kinda guy of his songs.
