In those days one had to go to the mob to have a career in singing. Even JFK was linked to the mob.

The simple answer is yes. This was clearly established when The Chairman of the Board and the rest of the Rat Pack were hired by Sam Giancana, head Mafia assassin, to entertain the democratic party faithful after the notorious ballot stuffing in Daley's Chicago during the Kennedy/Nixon election.

Nevertheless, I am great admirer of Sinatra, one of the most gifted vocalists in American history. His musical legacy stands tall, even though his personal life is the subject of considerable controversy, like many great artists.

You just don't understand a life like Frank's. I mean, when you've lived, and loved, like Frank has, you know a thing or two.

My mom grew up with him, and no, he's not directly connected to the mob, but he had tons of friends in it, some of the bigger guys, and he hung out with them. But he never actually joined.
