- Madonna : a rebel life / by Gabriel, Mary,author.;
Includes bibliographic key to online citations and index."With her arrival on the pop music scene in the early 1980s, Madonna generated nothing short of an explosion-as great as that of Elvis or the Beatles or Michael Jackson-taking the nation by storm with her liberated politics and breathtaking talent. Within two years of her 1983 debut album, a shopping mall in California was nicknamed "The Madonna Mall" because it was overrun with "Material Girls." Later that year, the flagship Macy's store in Manhattan held a Madonna lookalike contest featuring Andy Warhol as a judge, and opened a department called "Madonna-land." Everywhere, both women and men gravitated to the singer and actor as an emblem of a new age, one in which the women's liberation could shed the buttoned-down demeanor and reserved seriousness of the '60s and '70s and continue to make tremendous strides for a new generation. Topping charts again and again with provocative, visionary music and videos, Madonna brought queer and sexually-curious identities into the mainstream, fiercely defending a person's right to love whomever, and the space to be who they wanted. Even after almost 45 years in the spotlight, no stranger to controversy, Madonna stands as one of the staunchest supporters of women's rights and continues to represent a lionized emblem of women's liberation throughout the world"--- Subjects: Biographies.; Madonna, 1958-; Singers; Women singers;

- Sinatra and me : in the wee small hours / by Oppedisano, Tony,author.; Ross, Mary Jane,author.;
"An intimate, revealing portrait of Frank Sinatra-from the man closest to the famous singer during the last decade of his life. More than a hundred books have been written about legendary crooner and actor Frank Sinatra. Every detail of his life seems to captivate: his career, his romantic relationships, his personality, his businesses, his style. But a hard-to-pin-down quality has always clung to him-a certain elusiveness that emerges again and again in retrospective depictions. Until now. From Sinatra's closest confidant and an eventual member of his management team, Tony Oppedisano, comes an extraordinarily intimate look at the singing idol. Deep into the night, for more than two thousand nights, Frank and Tony would converse-about music, family, friends, great loves, achievements and successes, failures and disappointments, the lives they'd led, the lives they wished they'd led. In these full-disclosure conversations, Sinatra spoke of his close yet complex relationship with his father, his conflicts with record companies, his carousing in Vegas, his love affairs with some of the most beautiful women of his era, his triumphs on some of the world's biggest stages, his complicated relationships with his talented children, and, most important, his dedication to his craft. Toward the end, no one was closer to the singer than Oppedisano, who kept his own rooms at the Sinatra residences for many years, often brokered difficult conversations between family members, and held the superstar entertainer's hand when he drew his last breath. Featuring never-before-seen photos and offering startlingly fresh anecdotes and new revelations that center on some of the most famous people of the past fifty years-including Jackie Kennedy, Marilyn Monroe, Sam Giancana, Madonna, and Bono-Sinatra and Me pulls back the curtain to reveal a man whom history has, in many ways, gotten wrong"--- Subjects: Biographies.; Sinatra, Frank, 1915-1998.; Sinatra, Frank, 1915-1998; Oppedisano, Tony.; Singers;
