First published in 1997:
"Clarke certainly knows his stuff. He is able to put Sinatra in his musical context in a way that no mere biographer could. He knows the history of jazz, of radio, of recording technology -- and how these impinged on Sinatra's career."
--The Daily Telegraph, London
"Effectively conveys a sense of the time and place in which Sinatra was so important... helps readers not of that era understand why Sinatra meant so much to so many."
--Publishers Weekly
"The most objective view of Sinatra's extraordinary life... Clarke's astute and succinct appraisals of Sinatra's albums and live performances are the best thing about All Or Nothing At All."
--Detroit Free Press
"Clarke tells the story well... It is as much a cultural history of our time as it is the story of one artist's life."
--New Orleans Times-Picayune
"Clarke has an uncanny ability to describe Sinatra's singing style and chronicle his musical maturation. Usually, that type of material is rendered in a dry way. But not here."
--Jazz Notes
"The book takes an honest, non-judgmental tone with the singer's life, but doesn't sugarcoat anything."
--Boston Sunday Herald
"How Sinatra got inside of us is the grail Clarke pursues. [He] shows Sinatra at the center of changes in the music business and as a representative of the postwar era. This thread alone is worth the price of the book..."
