Well Sinatra was more then just a friend with Giancana. He was buddy buddy with quite a few Mafiosos, including Gambino, Castellano, Giancana, and many Jersey mobsters. He got his start from his Godfather (the irony...), who happened to be a high ranking wiseguy in "The Garden State" at the time, getting him gigs all over Jersey. In fact, I believe there is even proof of him singing at a Commission meeting in Havana in which such men as Luciano and Lansky were present.

However, I strongly believe that Sinatra was nothing more then a friend. I mean, its one thing to live your life as a mobster with the ability to hide it your entire life. Its another thing to be such a star, such a popular person, and yet be in the Mafia, still with no one to be the wiser, including the Feds.

But, hey, its gonna earn Lewis some big money, and he got us all talking about it, so, good for him.
