| Writer: David Evanier - has written for New York, The New Republic, and The Village Voice. He is the author of Red Love and The One-Star Jew. He lives in Los Angeles, California. | Book Notes: The mob couldn't live with Jimmy Roselli and it couldn't live without him. Roselli is Hoboken's other great singer, and to a greater degree than Frank Sinatra, who lived down the street from him, Roselli maintained his ties to his old neighborhood and its people. He's their link to their cultural heritage and Italy, and he continues to sing a good half of his repertoire in Italian. But this didn't stop his wiseguy following from getting angry at him from time to time. |
