Summary
In the best-selling tradition of Henry Bushkin's Johnny Carson comes The Way It Was: My Life with Frank Sinatra, a candid and eye-opening inside look at the final decades of Sinatra's life, told by his longtime manager and friend, Eliot Weisman.
Eliot Weisman worked with Frank Sinatra from 1975 up until Sinatra's death in 1998 and became one of the singer's most trusted confidants and advisers. In this book Weisman tells the story of the final years of the iconic entertainer from within his exclusive inner circle - featuring original photos and filled with scintillating revelations that fans of all Sinatra stages - from the crooner to the Duets - will love.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your Library section along with the audio.

focuses on his later years which of course aren't as exciting as his rise and fall but of course the writer can only share his experiences.

Big time boy.
Always wondered about these big names...I still wonder about the other tales, worries, everyday timetable and day to day management of swimming through life's curved balls.....guess they have minders to take care of these events!

Fascinating insight and entertaining
As a lifelong Sinatra fan, I loved this book. Weisman’s authoritative, touching and entertaining memoir of his time with one of the greatest performers ever. A complicated man, with some real quirks it seems...but an undeniable talent and not someone to suffer fools. “A tough guy with a big heart.”
Thanks for sharing the stories and being one of the good guys!
