Ten years after his death, Frank Sinatra just goes on and on. The man, the myths, the music — especially the music — are undimmed. To commemorate the anniversary there’s “Remembering Sinatra: 10 Years Later” (Life Books, $19.95), a glossy scrapbook of Sinatra lore.
The book includes a remembrance by fellow crooner Tony Bennett, a reprint of Gay Talese’s classic 1966 Esquire profile, “Frank Sinatra Has a Cold,” and scores of photographs, including those by John Dominis, who tailed the Rat Pack for Life magazine in the late ’60s. Ring-a ding-ding!
