In this clip, Gianni Russo speaks about his relationship with Frank Sinatra, and he revealed that Frank Sinatra is the only person who has ever given him singing lessons. After Sinatra invited Gianni over to his house for lessons, Gianni admitted that he was skeptical after Frank’s wife and friends kept telling him to bring his swimsuit to the lesson. Once arriving, Frank explained to Gianni that he was able to hold such long notes because he trained himself to hold his breath for extended periods underwater, which helped his singing. During the conversation, Gianni also spoke about Sinatra’s relationship with actress Ava Gardner, and how he tried to kill himself by sticking his head in the oven.
