About this listen

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.

This is such an interesting book. I felt like I knew Frank Sinatra at the end of it and it made me cry. Very emotional. I always love Pete Simonelli’s narration. Just perfect.

Fabulous book

This was a fascinating account of an extraordinary friendship it seems.
Colourful and rich with characters and a real flavour and sense of the times. Fabulous anecdotes and accounts of a man who for me was the best male singer of all time and at the centre of it all a decent good hearted human being.
Funny, informative, insightful , respectful, nostalgic,reflective and sometimes emotional with really brilliant narration. There will always be individuals who will argue that this or that isn't how it was but I have to say that this feels like somebodys truth.

Fascinating

This book completely contradicts the Eliot Weismans book. The stories are rehashed and unbelievable. The author does not delve into the complexity of Sinatra and fails to tell you his true personality like other books do. It feels like this book is solely a cash grab.
