🎵Frank Sinatra, one of the most iconic figures in American music and entertainment, was renowned for his smooth voice, charisma, and lengthy career that spanned over five decades. Born in Hoboken, New Jersey, in 1915, Sinatra became a global sensation in the 1940s and 1950s with hits like "My Way" and "New York, New York." However, his legacy was not without controversy. Sinatra was rumored to have had connections with organized crime figures, particularly during his early years in Las Vegas, where mob-controlled casinos were dominant. While never formally charged with any criminal activity, his associations with mobsters such as Sam Giancana fueled speculation and rumors throughout his life. Sinatra's personal life was also a subject of public fascination, marked by high-profile marriages to famous women, including his first wife, Nancy Barbato, followed by Hollywood starlets Ava Gardner, Mia Farrow, and Barbara Marx. In today's episode of Roots Music History, we dig into Frank Sinatra's controversial off-stage life.🎵 🎶 Roots Music History | Music Journalist & YouTube Podcaster 🎶 🎸Stories of Divine Music Intervention 🎸 *Member of the US Press Association* 🇺🇸 On ROOTS, we dig up the roots that grew your favorite music.

🎵The idea that the mafia controls or has controlled the music business is rooted in a combination of historical connections, payola scandals (which we will discuss more in detail), and (what I would describe) as the cash-focused ambiguity of the entertainment business overall. In today’s episode we are deep diving into the roots of these three primary pillars – looking at their historical significance as well as their possible current day relevance. So, if I go missing after this video is posted – we all know why. 🎵 🎶 Roots Music History | Music Journalist & YouTube Podcaster 🎶 🎸Stories of Divine Music Intervention 🎸 *Member of the US Press Association* 🇺🇸 On ROOTS, we dig up the roots that grew your favorite music.

🎵The death of Jim Morrison and truth about how he died (or if he even did) has been controversial and suspicious from the very beginning. From the possible lies his girlfriend, Pamela, told the US embassy and French authorities to the random sightings of Jim in Tibet/Australia following his very private "death" - it begs the question.....How did the lead singer of the rock and roll band The Doors really die? Or did he? Jim Morrison would be in his 80's today. Has anyone seen him??🎵#musichistory #podcast #thedoors #rockandroll #jimmorrison #rootsmusichistory 🎶 Roots Music History | Music Journalist & YouTube Podcaster 🎶 🎸Stories of Divine Music Intervention 🎸 *Member of the US Press Association* 🇺🇸 On ROOTS, we dig up the roots that grew your favorite music.

🎵The sad, spiritual truth that inspired George Harrison to write one of the greatest rock and roll songs "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" from The Beatles White Album is far more complex than you think. Despite the complexities of the spiritual self-realization going on with George Harrison from 1965-1968, the song is pure and simple and highlights the sad truths that result when we do not embrace love.🎵 👉Link to Buddy Holly Plane Crash Roots Rockumentary: https://youtu.be/mCdhS9quLso👉Link to Alice Cooper Roots Rockumentary: https://youtu.be/zp2MN7-YEts👉https://buymeacoffee.com/rootsmusic #GeorgeHarrison #thebeatles #guitar #whilemyguitargentlyweeps #paulmccartney #musichistory #podcast #rootsmusichistory 🎶 Roots Music History | Music Journalist & YouTube Podcaster 🎶 🎸Stories of Divine Music Intervention 🎸 *Member of the US Press Association* 🇺🇸 On ROOTS, we dig up the roots that grew your favorite music.

🎵I've been fascinated by Janis Joplin for a while. Maybe fascinated isn't the right word....but, perplexed. I've yearned to understand her...psychoanalyze her if you will... and understand how someone like her could come out with a rendition of Ball & Chain and Me and Bobby McGee that just hits people in their souls right where it hurts. A common reaction I get when I mention Sam Andrews or Janis Joplin from folks is "Oh, I wasn't really a Big Brother fan." or, "Yeah, not really a big fan of Janis Joplin." These reactions always peaked my curiosity further...because then I'd say...well what about the song Me and Bobby McGee ?? or Piece of my Heart?? or Ball and Chain ??? and then people would always reply with, "Oh, I love those songs. Just nothing else". So what else is there to Janis? I never anticipated making a roots on her, but I've scoured through hours and hours of her interviews over the years and recently was in someone's kitchen when I saw an old vintage photo of her on the wall. Seeing that photo of her reminded me of these rabbit holes of interviews I've gone through over the years and so when I got a few requests about her in my emails, I finally thought, you know what, it's time. So in today's Roots Rockumentary we are digging up the Roots of Janis Joplin and deep diving into her psyche, mind and soul.🎵 #rootsmusichistory #podcast #musichistory #janisjoplin #documentary #biography ✅ Did you know you can directly help research these stories by buying me a coffee? :) Click here to buy a single cup, or become a monthly member! https://buymeacoffee.com/rootsmusic 🎶 Roots Music History | Music Journalist & YouTube Podcaster 🎶 🎸Stories of Divine Music Intervention 🎸 *Member of the US Press Association* 🇺🇸 On ROOTS, we dig up the roots that grew your favorite music.
