FRANK


                          Frank Sinatra, both the greatest singer and greatest entertainer of the 20th Century. No question. Sinatra was a legendary icon whose star still shines bright. He was a musical icon, celebrity, international personality, and to millions of Italian-Americans he was our own, a paisan. Frank was an Italian-American whose ancestry is from Genoa on his mother's side of the family and Sicilian on his father's side. And being Italian, Frank loved the food he grew up with, Dolly made a mean Marianara Sauce as well as Meatballs and the all-time Italian-American favorite Sunday Sauce (aka Gravy). Frank loved the food of his childhood; the Spaghetti & Meatballs, Stuffed Artichokes, Pasta Fazool, Frittata, Eggplant Parmigiana and all the usual suspects of the Italian-American table. It's a well known fact that Frank's favorite restaurant was Patsy's on 56th Street in New York ... When Frank went to Patsy's his favorite dishes were Calms Posillipo and Veal Milanese with a nice plate of Spaghetti Pomodoro in-between, and maybe a slice of Cheesecake to finish if Frank was in the mood.

Frank & Jack - Kennedy and Sinatra

 



FRANK & JACK

Kennedy & Sinatra



Frank Sinatra and John F. Kennedy were good friends. They both liked each other. 
Frank Sinatra was a Major Force in getting JFK Elected as President of The United States.

When John Kennedy was President, he was going to California, and staying in Palm Springs. It was first planned that he would stay at Frank Sinatra's home in Palm Springs. Frank was thrilled and quite happy, and homered to be Hosting The President of The United States (JFK) at his home. Sinatra even had a Helicopter Pad built on his compound for Marine 1 Presidential Helicopter to be able to land on his estate.

John Kennedy's brother Robert Kennedy who was The Attorney General of The United States advised his brother, the President that he shouldn't stay at Frank Sinatra's House, because of his Mafia Ties, and Chicago Mob Boss - Sam Giancona, who actually helped Kennedy get elected as well. Actually Bobby told JFK not to stay at Sinatra's home. 

Peter Lawford who was The Presidents brother-in-law was the person chosen by the Kennedy's to break the news to Sinatra, and he did. After Frank got the news he was livid. He got a Sledge Hammer and went out to the Helicopter Pad and smashed it with his hammer. Sinatra never spoke to Peter Lawford again.
