Viac o knihe

More than a hundred books have explored the life of legendary crooner and actor Frank Sinatra, delving into his career, romantic relationships, and unique personality. Yet, a certain elusiveness has always surrounded him. Now, Tony Oppedisano, Sinatra's closest confidant and member of his management team, offers an intimate look at the icon. Over two thousand nights, Frank and Tony engaged in deep conversations about music, family, love, achievements, and disappointments. Sinatra shared insights into his complex relationship with his father, conflicts with record companies, his Vegas escapades, and his romances with some of the era's most beautiful women. He also reflected on his triumphs on the world's biggest stages and his intricate relationships with his talented children, emphasizing his dedication to his craft. Oppedisano was a constant presence in Sinatra's life, maintaining rooms at his residences and mediating family discussions. He was even there to hold Sinatra's hand at the end. Featuring never-before-seen photos and fresh anecdotes about notable figures like Jackie Kennedy, Marilyn Monroe, and Madonna, this work reveals a man often misunderstood by history.
