- 🎵Frank Sinatra, one of the most iconic figures in American music and entertainment, was renowned for his smooth voice, charisma, and lengthy career that spanned over five decades. Born in Hoboken, New Jersey, in 1915, Sinatra became a global sensation in the 1940s and 1950s with hits like "My Way" and "New York, New York." However, his legacy was not without controversy. Sinatra was rumored to have had connections with organized crime figures, particularly during his early years in Las Vegas, where mob-controlled casinos were dominant. While never formally charged with any criminal activity, his associations with mobsters such as Sam Giancana fueled speculation and rumors throughout his life. Sinatra's personal life was also a subject of public fascination, marked by high-profile marriages to famous women, including his first wife, Nancy Barbato, followed by Hollywood starlets Ava Gardner, Mia Farrow, and Barbara Marx. In today's episode of Roots Music History, we dig into Frank Sinatra's controversial off-stage life.🎵

Despite my objection to Sinatra's conduct, the FBI spending all those resources on an ongoing investigation seems like a misplaced priority, bordering on the obsessive. Were they trying to compete for limelight in the press? Whatever Sinatra might have been he was not the nation's most notorious criminal.
I heard (former FBI agent) G Gordon Liddy say on his radio show that FBI agents regularly report that (some wanted criminal) will be attending some high-priced entertainment event - the World Series or Daytona 500, for example - so they can be sent there - free of charge to themselves.
You don't get it, I think. The FBI loves to snoop on EVERYONE prominent, because the dirt they observe/collect can be used as leverage in the future against that person to obtain....well....whatever. Once you are under the thumb of the FBI, they own you forever.
@@Richard-g4u1r That surprises me exactly....not at all.
The mob owned the clubs, liquor distribution, controlled who played in the circuit, record distribution and controlled your meal ticket as well as protection. Frank was hedging and protecting his bets. Who wouldn't.
That’s just the way it was back then.
Frank's only children? Ronan Farrow might have something to say about that.
Oh no!!! 🤣🤣 I feel terrible now
@@ROOTSMUSICHISTORY Don't stress it. I was joking. Despite looking exactly like Frank, Ronan still says Woody Allen is his dad. 😂😂😂
@@BonzoKilbourn he doesnt look like Sinatra and only idiots think so and only the brain-damaged think he is Franks son or pretend to joke about it
Sinatras mother was politically connected helping lots of people get jobs and was a mid wife who was arrested for performing 7 abortions.
I think I'm in love.. plus the educational material is high quality and interesting..
I’m in love with you too!!! Thank you for being here and supporting Roots Music History (and History in the Making!!)
Great piece. Very very well researched!!!
Thank you! And thank you for being here and supporting the channel! 🎶
@@ROOTSMUSICHISTORY 👍🏽
Sinatra was an extremly abusive drunk, not patient when recording or making movies and was known to dissappear from movie sets. Directors hated him. Many said he would have been much better at acting if he worked at it. The mob actually forced the studio to hire Sinatra for the role he won an academy award for ironically.
none of this is true...he was BELOVED by musicians when recording....never disappeared from a movie set and directors all thought he was one of the greatest actors alive and the mob had nothing to do with getting his part as Maggio....YOU are as dumb as they come
An imperfect man like most of us. But I've read on multiple sources that he was an extremely loyal man to those he liked. And he bucked the racial bigotry of that era and remained a loyal and supportive friend to Sammy Davis Jr. For this, I will always admire the man.
My mom and friend Bernie saw Benny Goodman and sinatra at NewYorks paramount theater for .55 cents!😂
My maternal grandmother was a lifelong resident of Bayonne, New Jersey, which is very close to Hoboken. Frank Sinatra's ties to the mob were common knowledge to the locals. But the larger picture is that the mob had a hand in alot of businesses in that area. Did so for generations in Jersey.
Still more class than most performers today…who have no idea what class or elegance is.
Meaningless drivel
24 hour room service started at the waldorf- Astoria because Sinatra asked for a bottle of Jack Daniels at very late hours. Sinatra had cole porters former suite and played cole porters piano for years.
Sinatra never played the piano...fool
You mention all his missteps,yet never mention how good he was to his Mother..(and Dad)........that's one of the true measures of a man...and when his Mom was tragically killed in his plane crashing,his heart was broken into a million pieces...like all our hearts get broken...and still,through it all, he remained a loyal friend and loving son...and that's what life's about......Mention that
A pretty fair evaluation of Sinatra. One small correction, he did have a contract with Harry James but James released him to go to Dorsey. He joked with Sinatra in later years he still had several months left on his contract to fill. All the major clubs and casinos were mob owned during Sinatra's career ( some still are). You had to play ball with these guys to headline at these places. I never was a big fan of Sinatra. His voice declined rapidly because of all the smoking and heavy drinking. But for a guy that couldn't read music he could sing in tune and phase very well.
How long does he have to be dead to get over the alleged heinous crimes of Mr. Sinatra. I think all his philanthropic deeds helped him rise above some of hoodlum allegations. Let him rest in peace
Sylvester Stallone is another example. His father was so cheap that he sent Sylvester's mother to a teaching hospital rather than a regular (and more expensive) hospital, to give birth to Sylvester. The (young, hetero male) doctors-in-training there were in such a hurry to get to the bar and begin getting drunk/picking up females that they grabbed his baby head with forceps and pulled him out. Why his face is partly paralyzed.
Remember no one is perfect in life please be forgiving of others
Heeeey, thanks for covering ol' blue eyes, and you look fantastic doing it.
Thank you for being here and supporting music history!!
You are Beautiful.
They treated Black entertainers a little differently on the Chitlin Circuit. Underpaying,not paying at all or worse. Not all but a lot of club owners on white circuit also made clubs availible on other circuits.
I always heard Frank had mob ties but this was so interesting....I love franks song fly me to the moon, among others
That makes sense
Sinatra was bullied in his first group very badly cause he was small and got the most female attention.
Greed ......oppsi
NO!
Franks grave marker saying was changed...to.." sleep warm , poppa"
Nice
Flat music 🎶 notes, not much range, stale persona, boring delivery, weak character, average looks, women knew real quick he was weird.
Sinatra was arrested for promising marriage for sex from a young lady and not keeping his promise. Which is why that cool mug shot exists.
Great fun 👍 to watch your work
Thank you! Cheers!
As a male musician and technologist I was never comfortable with being around predatory men conquering women, which was rampant in my unlucky experience. There was some unwritten code or competition I could never understand that was expressed by bragging. Hush money for illegal harassment paid out by companies, misallocation of corporate funds for illicit entertainment, and screaming fights and rage quitting in the corporate offices were observed, but the cause was never able to be proven. If the financial officers are in on it, there's probably no hope. Once a Board of Directors gets tired of scandals crossing a line and causing negative press they might act, but they generally wink and ignore. Sinatra's reputation ruined my appreciation for his artistry. That's not always the case for me, but I cannot help not wanting to patronize anyone so widely reputed to be involved with violent and predatory people. I appreciate you covering this story, thank you.
😂
He was a fake, women said he wasn't that great with intimate performance. At least he could still on stage, though. Hero worship 🙌 is simping.
I enjoyed the Kitty Kelly book " My way." It was warts and all. Great job on your podcast. Thank you.
lol...try reading the truth about Sinatra...cause this one book where you get all your spamming comments is trash....
