Riots and Revelries: Sinatra's 'Bobby Soxers'

Frank Sinatra would say, "I did it my way," and we would agree. From an early age, he lived an unusual life, raised in a mob bar by a strong-willed mother, gifted with a voice that could melt hearts and a face that could charm anyone. But there’s a side to Sinatra that few people know. A member of the Rat Pack, famous for his many wives and girlfriends, and… a civil rights activist? His friendships stretched from Hollywood’s elite to the most dangerous figures in organized crime and even to the White House. But when his ties to the mob clashed with his loyalty to John F. Kennedy, did Sinatra’s influence take a deadly turn? This week, you’ll get a peek behind the velvet curtain, but trust us, there’s more to Sinatra’s story than any “Somethin’ Stupid” could cover.
