Let Me Be Frank: The Extraordinary Life and Music of Frank Sinatra, Jr.
Let Me Be Frank: The Extraordinary Life and Music of Frank Sinatra, Jr.
A Book Talk with Authors Bruce H. Klauber & Andrea Kauffman
"Let Me Be Frank is the first biography of the enigmatic Frank Sinatra, Jr., a singer who lived most of his life in the immense shadow of his legendary father. The authors, Bruce Klauber and Andrea Kauffman, created this work as a labor of love for a man they knew well. Their research is extensive, drawn from over forty in-depth interviews, including one with Michael Sinatra, the singer’s son. Kauffman was Frank Jr.’s manager for over thirty years, and she chronicles his evolution from someone who insisted on going his own way to someone who embraced his father’s legacy after his death in 1998."
- Anthony DiFlorio, entertainment archivist and WRDV-FM host
Bruce H. Klauber is biographer of jazz legends Gene Krupa and Buddy Rich in books and Warner Bros. films. As a music journalist, he has contributed to dozens of national and regional periodicals. He was honored by Combs College of Music and Drexel University for his contributions to music journalism and jazz performance.
Andrea Kauffman is an entertainment industry manager, concert producer, and agent, responsible for bringing dozens of jazz legends—including Mel Tormé, Bobby Scott, Frank D’Rone, George Shearing, and Morgana King—to Atlantic City hotels and casinos.
