Almost finished with “Me, the Mob, and the Music” by Tommy James. When he says “mob” he means it. The notorious Morris Levy (Roulette Records) was connected to the Genovese crime family. James was a hit machine but got screwed out of 40m.
One interesting tidbit is that Levy was a fan of Latin Jazz and one of his other Roulette artists, Tito Puente, performed “Crystal Blue Persuasion”.
