Reviews"Everybody wanted to know Frank Sinatra; almost nobody really did. Tony Oppedisano really did.... Utterly clear-eyed yet truly loving, Sinatra and Me is a matchless portrait of a flawed, brilliant man--and of a great friendship. A gem of a book." -- James Kaplan, bestselling author of The Voice and The Chairman

Synopsis"New information on almost every page...Frank fans will find plenty to cheer...A believable portrait of a towering 20th-century figure."-- Wall Street Journal An intimate, revealing portrait of Frank Sinatra--from the man closest to the famous singer during the last decade of his life., 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., 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 celebrities like 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 the legendary crooner. Every detail of his life fascinates--from his music and acting career to his personal relationships, business dealings, swanky style, and rumored mob ties. Until now, much of his inner world remained elusive. Written by Tony Oppedisano, Sinatra's longtime confidant and road manager, Sinatra and Me offers an extraordinary, first-person look at the singing idol, with "new information on almost every page" ( The Wall Street Journal ). Over more than two thousand late-night conversations, Sinatra shared stories about family, fame, friendships, musical triumphs, failures, affairs, and the burden of celebrity. From Sinatra's complex relationship with his father and record companies to his Vegas nightlife, romances with iconic women, legendary performances, and dedication to his craft, this memoir sheds light on the man behind the myth. In the final chapters, Oppedisano recounts tending to Sinatra's family, mediating difficult conflicts, and even being by his side during his final moments at his residence--revealing a rare closeness few people witnessed. "Frank Sinatra fans, pull up a chair and let longtime confidant 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 that history has often misunderstood.
