Hi there,
I've got a couple of answers to some of the questions i've come across regarding Frank Sinatra with connection to the Mafia!! Family Honour.
Not so long ago i was watching a documentary on Frank Sinatra on T.V over here in the U.K, which if i remember stated that Franks father was an amateur boxer in New Jersey,both Franks parents had connections with the Mafia through Sinatra Snr's boxing circles.Mrs Sinatra noticed her son had a talent for singing and asked if a few strings could be pulled so Frank could make it big time.The rest is history,apart from the Mafia never let Frank forget where it all came from!!!
There was also ,alledgedly,actual tape recordings of a conversation between 2 Mafia leaders who were p**sed over something,which my memory won't recall,something Frank,Dean Martin and Sammy Davies Jr had done/said, and these 2 guys were talking of bumping them off,but they came up with ,they're worth more alive than dead.So they had them play VIP in Vegas in the casino's so the audience would pay top dollar to see these guys sing and then go into a rigged room to have their money (which was substancial amounts) syphened away from them,tax free of course,which turned out to be an unavoidable contract for the boys.
