Frank Sinatra was 'almost married to the crowd,' according to a recent book, despite openly denying that he had any links to organized crime for the bulk of his life and career. In upcoming biography, Frank Sinatra and the Mafia Murders, new information about the legendary mafia bosses, including notorious mobster Bugsy Siegel and Sinatra's role as a mafia courier, is set to be revealed on Thursday, September 8. Sinatra, who was known for championing his working-class Italian roots, had vehemently denied allegations or suspicion that he was also associated with the Italian mafia, slamming the allegations as "vicious lies" during his long career.' Sinatra was actually so enthralled by gangsters that he even wanted to imitate a notorious mobster bug, Bugsy Siegel (bottom left) who chopped up his victims with axes, according to authors Douglas Thompson and Mike Rothmiller. The mafia is also accused of starting Sinatra's career and investing $50,000 on his image as an 'investment' that was then compelled to pay back in favors. Sinatra was also 'central to the scheme' of becoming socialite,' according to the book, who was sleeping with mob boss Sam Giancana close to JFK (right).
