Wiseguys whose voices you want to hear?

Wiseguys whose voices you want to hear? - 12/15/17 08:45 AM

I've always been curious about how the real Paul Vario and Jimmy Burke sounded.

Who are some wiseguys you'd love to hear the wiretaps of?

Vic Amuso was supposed to have a squeaky voice. I know Anthony Casso was a lunatic just by hearing him talk; I want to hear if Amuso was on the same level.

This reminds me of that one episode of King of Queens where Patton Oswalt coaches Leah Remini on how to lose her street accent.

I remember hearing Vito Genovese, Colombo and Joe Bananas, but I wanted to see more of Lucchese and Vinny Chin.

On the "Organized Crime Compilation" video there's a section where a bunch of mobsters are pleading the fifth. Vito Genovese is in there (along with a very confused Mike Miranda), plus he gives a brief interview to the press later on. I'm sure Gigante is in there too in the section on the Costello shooting.

I didn't notice until today, but Luchese and Jerry Catena are also in there pleading the fifth.

Lucky Luciano, Albert Anastasia, Carlo Gambino, Vincent Gigante and Barney Bellomo are my top 5 who I'd like to hear.

Thanks for the link MightyDR! You sure were right about Miranda lol

Big Paul sounds very different to what I had in mind. I figured he’d be old man
like, speaking slow & gruffy croaky voice

But he was total opposite/ very clear talkative voice

Thanks I remember hearing this. I also recall the old one when they're loading him the paddy wagon and they ask him "Did you give yourself up because you were afraid?" And he says "Nah you're crazy."

For some reason I thought Castellano would have a genteel accent, perhaps because I was coached into thinking that he wasn't a street guy by reading about Gravano and Gotti.

I listened to the Avellino wiretaps though and the guy sounds as street as they come, a real wiseguy caricature.

Paul Casttellano dropped out of school like a lot of these guys very young I think the 8th grade Im not surprised he sounded like he did.
A lot of these guys sound like idiots.Frank Costello sure didn't sound smart He had poor gramer and used a lot of double negatives

That one episode of mobsters they have that short phone call Gigant made, and 60 minutes had a video of him being interviewed by a doctor and Gigante telling him that they brought him in through the roof lol

That's pretty good...Marcello at the congressional hearing shows just how inept congress is...They grandstand and ask good questions and clearly stumped Marcello with a simple question..To name one customer he sells tomatoes too and he couldn't do it...But what did congress ever do about it ?? Nothing...Congressional hearings are all for show !!

I’d absolutely love to hear more of Crazy Joe Gallo, I heard him briefly in the clip of him pleading the 5th in front of the McClellan Committee but it just wasn’t enough for me as I liked the way he talked it reminded me of the gangsters from the movies which is very fitting for him. I’d also love to hear Lucky Luciano, Al Capone, Albert Anastasia, and Bugsy Siegel. Great question by the way! smile

Cool site, is that really Albert Anastasia speaking about the unions? He looks and sounds completely different than the guy in the video of Anastasia speaking in front of his house in New Jersey. There looks to be a long time between events though.

This link has Joey Merlino calling in to Howard Eskin's radio show:

It's pretty funny--Merlino denying that he has any undue influence on Eric Lindros.

He briefly answers a question from a reporter at 2.11 in this vid.

I didn’t see this until I had already answered the topic question and went back through to look at other people’s comments. Thanks for sharing this link it was really awesome! I think I watched a little over an hour worth of footage and I was super glad to have found more videos of Costello and Gallo.

There actually used to be an interview with Pitera on Philip Carlo's official site. Doesn't seem to be working anymore though.
