been touched by the magic of Frank Sinatra’s music, his Mafia ties would never matter. For they had witnessed a peerless talent and that was enough. They had been moved by a performer who even at the age of seventy could still stir irrevocable longings. For fifty years, he had been interpreting the mood of his generation, taking people back to a time when love was young and life full of promise. With a catch in his voice betraying his own pain and loneliness, he reached into their souls, stoking their vulnerabilities. He soothed them and made them feel that their lost dreams were understood, their heartbreaks shared. His ballads became their anthems of romance—seductive, memorable, unique. More than any other popular singer, Frank Sinatra became the touchstone of his time.

* In 1970 Carol Sue Edmondston had filed suit charging Frank, Jr., with fathering her child, Victor Randolph. In 1980 Mary Wallner took him to court declaring him the father of her daughter, Franane. After an eight-month romance with Jr. in 1977, Mary-Fleming gave birth to Francis Wayne Sinatra, Jr., and named Jr. as the father.
