Al Martino, aka Johnny Fontane in The Godfather, including playing the role of a crooner protected by the mafia It just disappeared.

Al Martino’s seducer died a natural death … He was 82 years and his role as film scoring could have let us imagine perishing riddled with bullets spewed out by a gust of Tommy Gun before being thrown into a hole in the Nevada desert. Born Alfred Cini, Al Martino, the son of Italian immigrants, but has simply died in his childhood home in Springfield (Pennsylvania).

For if he was a crooner famous for years 50-60 (Volare, Here In My Heart, Spanish Eyes, Can not Help Falling In Love), Al Martino entered the seed through a “small role” in film, for Francis Ford Coppola, along with Marlon Brando (our picture above) for a great movie released in 1972, which was also interpreted as the “Love Theme” The Godfather. In French, The Godfather.

All fans of The Godfather recall Al Martino. Arriving early in the first installment in the saga, it appears in the guise of Johnny Fontane, a crooner who honors plastered down with his presence the marriage of the daughter Corleone, whimpering in the office of Don for a role as a producer of cinema did not accede.

The producer will be punished recalcitrant by the henchmen of the Mafia clan on awaking in the morning, the severed head of his favorite horse slipped at night in his “own” silk sheets. A bloody episode in the form of thinly veiled allusion to the dangerous liaisons of another crooner, Frank Sinatra with the Mafia. Frank Sinatra, who also died a natural death here eleven years. If there is a good way to die.
