This intimate, revealing portrait of Frank Sinatra-from the man
closest to the famous singer during the last decade of his
life-features never-before-seen photos and new revelations about
some of the most famous people of the past fifty years, including
Jackie Kennedy, Marilyn Monroe, Sam Giancana, Madonna, and Bono.
"If you are a Frank fan, buy this book" (Jimmy Kimmel). 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 that offers "new information on almost every page" (The Wall
Street Journal). 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. "Frank Sinatra fans, pull up a chair and let longtime
confidante and road manager Tony Oppedisano regale you with tales
from the entertainer's inner circle" (Parade magazine)-Sinatra and
Me pulls back the curtain on a man whom history has, in many ways,
gotten wrong.
