Sinatra had mob buddies and this is a fact.

Sinatra's mobster reputation was exagerrated due to this kind of B.S. People have since disproved a handful of the more crazy Sinatra mafia stories thankfully.

CORRECTION--if she worked with him in 2006/2007 during the 3121 and London Gigs (early posts indicate this) , he was a single man at the time. Maybe she is talking about him hitting on her at that time. I do apologize to P up in heaven if that is what she is referring to, but I still think its BS she even mentioned it.

Yes, Sinatra had mob buddies but he didn't smuggle 2 million dollars in small bills on his person (which makes no technical sense) to Lucky Luciano, or throw a dude out of a plane, or stick a gun to Tommy Dorsey's head or ask a mobster to kill his son's kidnappers. That stuff has been discredited with pretty solid evidence. THe truth matters more than a reputation does. The degrees of guilt should count.

Cat Glover is pissed...she comments on Omar's new fake NPS band

Frank did not stick a gun to Tommy's head his mob buddies did. I also bet the discrediting was done by the mob they do not want a civilian taking credit for their work.

So out of that long post all people focus on is one line about declining a romantic involvement with Prince. And now this thread will be/is totally derailed as all people here seem to be interested about is women and who he was/wasn’t screwing.

I just meant he had nothing to do with hiring mobsters to threaten Tommy D in the way the Godfather depicts . When FS was trying to get out of his contract with Tommy, there was a musicians union strike that was putting the screws to people like Tommy and FS hired the lawyer who represented the musicans on strike, he also was willing to pay Tommy $60,000. If Tommy was really feeling threatened by mobsters, would it have gotten to musician strike lawyers and buy-outs by FS. Plus, he worked with Tommy years later. The closest thing to a threat from the mafia was when two of Frank's handlers took it on theirselves (according to them anyhow) to threaten Tommy on the street using two over-sized college students. Tommy, who was a tough bastard, didn't buy that it was a real threat and the guys buckled and eventually asked for autographs. There were some scary phone calls at his house however, but he kept ignoring them.

I forgot the biggest lie....

As for FS getting his role in From Here to Eternity due to mafia threats, that's the biggest bullshit story of his career. No one involved in the situation claimed they were threatened. Mario Puzo basically made it up for the Godfather and even he admitted years later that he had done so but people still believe to this day that Frank got his role that way. The reality is that Frank used Ava's influence on the Columbia studio head, he auditioned and got the role because he was authentically Italian (unlike Eli Wallach who was also up for the role) and because he was willing to be work for scale..(literally, 8000 dollars was all he made for that role.)

That's insulting as hell. Mark Anthony is good looking dude who does resemble prince but his posting that picture with that stupid ass statement is just him being an Eve Harrington.

I miss Prince's shade in times like these. He could throw it down much like Margo Channing.

God, I love that damn movie. Its like a cautionary tale against impersonators.

Bette and Prince are like soul mates in my mind..Big eyes, tiny frame, style and attitude for days.

Exactly.

Agree. That part was just soooo crass...

Is she saying we should buy this because Prince wanted her in his purple bed?

No. No no no. Take your triflin' band and get gone. Prince can never be imitated nor duplicated. He lives ! Lives in my heart, my mind, and my soul - forever and ever amen.

BillieBalloon said:

I dont care what saint Marva says. If I want to hear a Prince song ill listen to Prince singing it, not a Vegas impersonator. Thats what he wanted, and that's what I will do. . [Edited 9/24/17 16:19pm]

And there is other great music, why listen to covers by an impersonator

She's throwing that in for good measure. To me it sounds crass and the whole post is self important, arrogant and preachy.

The thing that upsets me the most is that all these people seem to be "at war" somehow, making up all these different factions:

those who worked with him in the later years and that for the most part are keeping quiet except for this or that person, those who truly want to honour him but whose intentions are getting dilluted in this whole mess, those who worked for him in the early days and feel they are entitled to something, those who are exploting his image, those who want us to know exactly how close they were to Prince in a kind of tug of war game, those who were remotely associated with him and keep reminding everyone about it, those who had no relationship whatsoever but swear they did and those who wish they were him and are now getting their own slice of the purple pie. Which brings me back on topic: this cover band is a disgrace, imo. It remains to be seen what the reaction of the fans will be. The casual fans will probably find this amusing and a good opportunity to keep the legacy alive and have no problem whatsoever with having someone wearing Prince, the costume.

Belive what you want to believe. Just like when Mia Farrow said that Frank asked her if she wanted to have Woody Allen's legs broken when he ran off with their adopted daugther. I guess she was making that up.

All Marva accomplished in her post was to alienate P's fans even more. Why Omarr would want to get a fake Prince band together is beyond me. Maybe he really doesn't understand the loyality P's fans have.

Omarr should've helped promote the winner of the Battle of the Bands, instead of this cartoon of a band.

That what I want to know. I watched some of Back Alley's stuff on YOUTUBE. They are pretty good but a band like them is not going to get a major deal. Going with an independent company would be great. I think Omarr is missing a good opportunity with this group.

I don’t know why she brought it up but the whole post wasn’t about that. Some just want to turn every thread into a drug or women thread. I take the same view as a Funkenberry on this. I’m not a fan of them recording an album of Prince covers. I think it should only be new music and I will wait to hear that before judging it. If they do live shows and throw a couple Prince songs in the set I don’t care. But if it’s just bad Prince karaoke I’ll be the first to call it out. I hated the Bruno Mars tribute at the Grammys because I thought it was bad karaoke. Don’t go there Omarr.

But in all honesty, what do you expect from a guy who makes a living pretending to be Prince? Do you serioulsy believe there will be an ounce of originality in this band? The choice for the lead part was a terrible mistake because it makes it look like a Vegas act.
