Description
Kerouac, Jack (Own Copy), Sinatra, Frank. Frank Sinatra in the Wee Small Hours. (1955, Capitol Records, W-581)
Records leave is stamped with ink stamp from the Kerouac Estate
Jack Kerouac connected with Frank Sinatra’s album “In the Wee Small Hours” because it touched on heartache and loneliness, themes that resonated with Kerouac’s own life. As a teen, Kerouac idolized Sinatra. When he went to Columbia University, he often played Sinatra’s records, sometimes getting emotional while drinking beer with his fraternity friends. This admiration for Sinatra stuck with him. In the late 1950s, during his relationship with Helen Weaver, Kerouac would sing Sinatra songs to her to patch things up after arguments. Sinatra’s music was a big deal for Kerouac and mirrored the themes of loneliness and emotional struggle found in his writing..
