Signed album page immortalize's the legendary story told in the opening scene of the "Godfather." Instead of it being Johnny Fontane, Luca Brasi and a "band leader", the true legend was Frank Sinatra. Gambino crime family underboss Willie Moretti allegedly held a gun to the head of bandleader Tommy Dorsey to get Sinatra out of his contract with the very band we have here. Signed by 11 including the insane drummer Buddy Rich (insane in a good way), singer Jo Stafford, and, of course, a young Frank Sinatra. Other signatures include Ziggy Elman, Heine Beau, John Huddleston, Dave Jacobs, Chuck Lowry, Al Plean, Milton Raskin and Phil Stephen. The pencil signatures are clean and neatly arranged. The rest is history. PSA slabbed authentic.
