So tight is security around Sinatra that he has had it written into his contracts that not a single soul, no matter how famous, is to be allowed backstage, or even to approach him. Yet members of the nation’s most powerful Mafia family managed to get his attention in 1976 at the Westchester Premier Theatre.
