You know how some people just seem untouchable?

Take Frank Sinatra, idolized around the world, the ultimate cool insider in Hollywood and Washington, D.C., for that matter, and even an insider with the mob.

Stealing Frank Sinatra Jr. next on the backstory.

We're back with the backstory. Late 1963 was kind of the end of the innocence in America.

We were months away from the arrival of the Beatles, but we had just lost our young, incredibly popular president, John F. Kennedy, to an assassin in Dallas, Texas.

And Frank Sinatra Sr. was incredibly powerful. He was still at the height of his fame.

After years of selling tens of millions of records,

flourishing acting career had won him an Academy Award and a Golden Globe. He was the leader of the
