\"History

Frank Sinatra and John Kennedy, California. 1961<\/p><\/div>\n

There’s a nice saying about JFK and Frank Sinatra relationships: Over the course of his life, John F. Kennedy spent time with many famous faces, but perhaps his most curious friendship was his short-lived camaraderie with entertainer Frank Sinatra. The following excerpt from Handsome Johnny. This story started with mutual admiration, followed by-election campaign cooperation, and ended up with Sinatra’s total ban from the Kennedy\u2019s and musicians\u2019 joining the Republicans.<\/span><\/p>\n

The mutual respect<\/h3>\n

Kennedy had a deep respect for the singer, and Sinatra venerated him reciprocally. But their story grew into something more important in 1960 when John F. Kennedy was participating in Democratic primaries in West Virginia. The rumor has it that his dad\u00a0 Joseph Kennedy supposedly asked Sinatra to get mob boss Sam Giancana assistance for votes delivery any way he could. Mobs did their part and regretted it several years later: after the Kennedys won the White House, Attorney General Robert Kennedy convicted 288 mobsters in 1963 alone.<\/span><\/p>\n

Kennedy had a deep respect for the singer, and Sinatra venerated him in return.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\u201cThere was a joke at the time that ended up having some of the truth thereto, that Kennedy wanted to be Sinatra and Sinatra wanted to be Kennedy,\u201d said Steven Watts, who wrote the book, \u201cJFK and therefore the Masculine Mystique: Sex and Power on the New Frontier.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Their friendship seemed to know no limits: Sinatra was invited to sing at the inaugural party where he escorted Jaqueline Kennedy.\u00a0 And after Kennedy stopped by his home, he had a symbol that reads \u201cJFK Slept Here\u201d hung within the bedroom and when Kennedy clinched the nomination at the l.a. Convention, the Rat Pack, temporarily transformed into the \u201cJack Pack.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Why Frank Sinatra and John Kennedy drifted apart?<\/h3>\n

Sinatra went ballistic when Kennedy replaced him with Bing Crosby on a visit to Palm Springs 1962. He had a helipad specially constructed on his roof in anticipation of the visit and attacked it with a sledgehammer when he found that JFK’s did a last-minute switch to Crosby’s place. Sinatra, who stayed with Democrats for a decade, switched his allegiance to the Republican party soon after.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Frank

Frank Sinatra at Kennedy’s inaugural party<\/p><\/div>\n

The story behind Sinatra\u2019s dismissal from the Kennedy ingroup, the accepted narrative, had it that the FBI\u2019s J. Edgar Hoover met with the attorney general shortly before the president\u2019s Palm Springs getaway and warned him to set a distance between his brother and Sinatra. He supposedly provided some evidence of the singer\u2019s close relationship with Sam Giancana and various other gangsters, which wasn\u2019t a big surprise, though. Shocked and alarmed, because the story goes, Bobby ran to Jack within the Oval Office and demanded he cease all contact with the person.<\/span><\/p>\n

The sequence of events seems essentially right, apart from the quaint concept Bobby\u2014or anybody else who read a newspaper or gossip column over the previous twenty years\u2014was unaware of Sinatra\u2019s fraternizing with the Mob. If Frank\u2019s fondness for gangsters had survived this long without making much trouble for the administration, why wouldn’t it cause such an eruption now?<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
