Sanatra and Me by Tony Oppedisano

More than a hundred books have been written about Frank Sinatra, but none like this. Sanatra and Me is the intimate, revelatory memoir from Tony Oppedisano—the man who spent more than two thousand nights in conversation with Ol’ Blue Eyes during the final decade of his life.

As Sinatra’s closest confidant and eventual management team member, Oppedisano had unprecedented access to the legend behind the legend. Deep into the night, Frank opened up about everything: his complex relationship with his father, his carousing in Vegas, his romances with some of the era’s most beautiful women, his triumphs on the world’s biggest stages, and above all, his unwavering dedication to his craft.

This isn’t another surface-level biography. It’s a full-disclosure portrait that finally pins down the elusive quality that has always clung to Sinatra. Oppedisano was there for the difficult family conversations, kept his own rooms at the Sinatra residences, and held Frank’s hand when he drew his last breath.

Featuring never-before-seen photographs and startling fresh anecdotes about Jackie Kennedy, Marilyn Monroe, Sam Giancana, Madonna, and Bono, this memoir pulls back the curtain on a man whom history has, in many ways, gotten wrong. For anyone captivated by Sinatra’s music, style, and enduring mystique, this is the definitive inside story—told by the one person Frank trusted most.
