Sinatra and Me: The Very Good Years by Franz Douskey, Tony Consiglio

Good gossipy read. Enquiring minds like to know stuff. Felt like I was sitting down and talking with one of the Gambino members. Tony Consiglio was Frank Sinatra's valet for 50 years. He was also a childhood friend of his, hanging out, being a teenage "hoodlum", when Frank got kicked out of school. Frank Sinatra use to call Tony Consiglio "the clam" because Tony would never talk about Frank's experiences to anyone else. Apparently "The clam" turned "informant" just before he died.

Pretty cookie cutter in terms of getting into the nitty gritty of Sinatra’s life, but still enjoyable nevertheless. 

Looking forward to reading a biography from someone who isn’t so close to Sinatra though.
