About this listen

 The Chairman of the Board’s 1963 Interview features Ol’ Blue Eyes in an expansive mood; discussing ideology, nuclear disarmament, cultural soft power, and a host of topics that showcase the crooner as stateman. But it’s Sinatra’s take on religion that raised eyebrows at the time, “There are things about organized religion which I resent…I'm for anything that gets you through the night, be it prayer, tranquilizers, or a bottle of Jack Daniel's. But to me religion is a deeply personal thing in which man and God go it alone together.” Actor Kevin Corrigan offers a poignant and sensitive take on the oft bombastic singer who refers to himself in the interview as “an 18-Karat Manic Depressive”.©2022 Audio Up, Inc.
