An intimate portrait of Frank Sinatra emerges from the perspective of Tony Oppedisano, his closest confidant during the last decade of his life. While numerous books have explored Sinatra's career, relationships, and personality, Oppedisano provides a unique insight into the singer's elusive nature. Over more than two thousand nights, the two engaged in deep conversations about music, family, friendships, loves, successes, and failures. Sinatra candidly discussed 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 major stages and his intricate relationships with his talented children, all while demonstrating his unwavering dedication to his craft. Oppedisano's closeness to Sinatra allowed him to navigate difficult family dynamics and be present during Sinatra's final moments. The book features never-before-seen photos and fresh anecdotes, revealing new insights about iconic figures from the past fifty years, including Jackie Kennedy, Marilyn Monroe, and Bono. This account challenges historical perceptions and offers a more nuanced understanding of the man behind the legend.
