Summary
  1. "Nelson Riddle will forever be linked with the music and recordings of such unforgettable vocalists as Frank Sinatra, Ella Fitzgerald, Judy Garland, Rosemary Clooney, Linda Ronstadt, and dozens of others. Riddle not only helped to establish Nat "King" Cole's career in the 1950s, but was also a major participant in reviving Frank Sinatra's musical career.
  2. He served as arranger of many classic Sinatra albums - including Only the Lonely and In the Wee Small Hours - as well as musical director for many of the singer's television specials and feature films. Later, Riddle was active in writing scores for such television shows and feature films as Route 66, The Julie Andrews Hour, Robin and the Seven Hoods, Oceans 11, Paint Your Wagon, Can-Can, and The Great Gatsby, for which he won an Academy Award.".
  3. "This book is based on more than two hundred personal interviews with Riddle's closest friends, family, and colleagues. Author Peter J. Levinson gives readers an inside look at Riddle's inspirations, career, and creative genius."--BOOK JACKET.
