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.
