The Godfather was a top Gangster Movie, equalled (IMO) only by Goodfellas. In the early scenes of that film there appears A certain Mr Valli (played by his real-life son) who was a popular crooner of the period. If we're gonna talk crooners, we have to include the world-famous Bing Crosby who used to play alongside Bob Hope in classic films. Bob hope was an extremely longlived fella (at least till he died) and his career lasted for many years longer than one would have expected. Another cCareer that lasted for an incredibly long time was that of "Sugar Ray" Robinson whose 20 years of fighting was only brought to an end by excessive 100 degree heat in his last fight that made him sweat and eventually caused a technical KO. Sweating is an occupational hazard of energetic singers, and one person famous for sweating while giving his performance is the Godfather of Soul, James Brown and enjoy it
