DESCRIPTION:
He also made the very act of listening to pop music a more personal experience than it had ever been. But despite his mammoth fame, Sinatra the man has remained an enigma. We relive the years 1915 to 1954 in glistening detail, experiencing as if for the first time Sinatra's journey from the streets of Hoboken, his fall from the apex of celebrity, and his Oscar-winning return in From Here to Eternity.
