Album: Nothing But the Best
Artist: Frank Sinatra
Selected by: Nick Dedina
Date: October 14, 2008
Back on this day in 1969, Frank Sinatra was issued an arrest warrant for refusing to go to court to discuss alleged mafia ties. He showed up in court a couple months later claiming he didn't know anybody in the mafia. Was this true? No, it wasn't. Did Sinatra really have stronger organized crime ties than many performers, then and now? No, he didn't -- and he was always hurt by rumors that the Italian mob helped his (self-made) career.
