Shecky Green can vouch for that. Famous quote.One would never have a gripe against Frank, who was good friends with Mooney Sam Giancana. When his son-in-law singer Tommy Sands was being pursued by Chicago mobsters and had a contract placed ipon his head, he appealed to Frank for help. Frank picked up the phone, made a call and the contract was declared null and void. Sands remarked later that he never knew how extensive was Frank's influence over the Mafia. I doubt if Anka would want anything to do with Frank other than music.
Shecky Greene once joked that Frank Sinatra saved his life. He claimed that a group of Sinatra's goons were hurting him, but Sinatra intervened and said, "That's enough"
Paul Anka knew where his bread was buttered. Not one to beef with the mob.
