Candidate passages:
Moretti was the godfather with then unknown singer Frank Sinatra.
Sinatra's first wife, Nancy Barbato, was a paternal cousin of John Barbato, a Moretti associate.
Moretti helped Sinatra get bookings in New Jersey clubs in return for kickbacks.
Finally, in 1939, Sinatra signed a recording contract with band leader Tommy Dorsey.
However, by the early 1940s, Sinatra had achieved national popularity and wanted to sign a more lucrative recording contract, but Dorsey refused to release him from their existing contract.
Sinatra asked Moretti for help.
In a meeting with Dorsey, Moretti jammed a gun barrel down his throat and threatened to kill Dorsey if he did not release Sinatra.
Dorsey eventually sold the contract to Sinatra for one dollar.
In the late 1940s, Moretti become acquainted with comedians Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis while they were performing at Bill Miller's Riviera nightclub in Fort Lee, New Jersey.
In earlier years, Moretti and Abner "Longy" Zwillman were watching the club's cardroom when it was previously owned by Ben Marden.
In 1947, Martin, Lewis, Sinatra, and comedian Milton Berle all performed at the wedding reception of Moretti's daughter. 
Frank Sinatra and His Friends Want You To Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas is a 1963 compilation of Christmas songs recorded by various artists.
It was recorded on Reprise label, R9-50,001.
It was compiled by Frank Sinatra and features several of his contemporaries, including Dean Martin and Jo Stafford.
It was an album produced "exclusively for Action Incentives".
One group that gave it to their customers was Federal Cement Transportation, Inc.  
At 54 Sinatra posed for Playboy in the May 1995 issue and made appearances on TV shows to promote her album "One More Time".
The magazine appearance caused some controversy.
On the talk show circuit, she said her father was proud of the photos.
Those close to the Sinatras claimed that family members were upset with the nude photo spread.
Sinatra told Jay Leno on a 1995 "Tonight Show" that her daughters gave their approval, but her mother said she should ask her father before committing to the project.
Sinatra claims that when she told her father what Playboy would be paying her, he said, "Double it.
"She and Lee Hazlewood embarked on a US tour playing the House of Blues, the Viper Room, the Whiskey-a-Go-Go, the now-defunct Mama Kin in Boston, the Trocadero in Philadelphia, and The Fillmore.
That year, Sundazed Records began reissuing Sinatra's Reprise albums with remastered sound, new liner notes and photos, and bonus tracks.
She also updated her biography on her dad and published "Frank Sinatra: An American Legend".
In 2003 she reunited with Hazlewood once more for the album "Nancy & Lee 3".
It was released only in Australia.
One of her recordings — a cover of Cher's "Bang Bang (My Baby Shot Me Down)" — was used to open the 2003 Quentin Tarantino film "".
In 2005, Sinatra's recording was sampled separately by the Audio Bullys and Radio Slave into dance tracks (renamed into "Shot You Down" and "Bang Bang" respectively), and by hip-hop artist Young Buck in a song titled "Bang Bang", as well as covered for a single and music video by R&B artist Melanie Durrant.
Sinatra recorded the song for her second Reprise album, "How Does That Grab You?"
in 1966.
She and Billy Strange worked on the arrangement, and it was Sinatra's idea to change from a mid-tempo romp (as sung in Cher's hit single) to a ballad.
Sinatra's father asked her to sing it on his 1966 TV special "A Man and His Music - Part II".
The footage of Sinatra's performance on that special was used in the Audio Bullys' music video of "Shot You Down.
"Taking her father's advice from when she began her recording career ("Own your own masters"), she owns or holds an interest in most of her material, including videos.
In 2004 she collaborated with former Los Angeles neighbor Morrissey to record a version of his song "Let Me Kiss You", which was featured on her autumn release "Nancy Sinatra".
The single — released the same day as Morrissey’s version — charted at #46 in the UK, providing Sinatra with her first hit for over 30 years.
The follow-up single, "Burnin' Down the Spark", failed to chart.
The album, originally titled "To Nancy, with Love", featured rock performers such as Calexico, Sonic Youth, U2, Pulp's Jarvis Cocker, Steven Van Zandt, Jon Spencer, and Pete Yorn, who all cited Sinatra as an influence.
Each artist crafted a song for Sinatra to sing on the album.
Two years later EMI released "The Essential Nancy Sinatra" – a UK-only greatest-hits compilation featuring the previously unreleased track, "Machine Gun Kelly".
The collection was picked by Sinatra and spans her 40-year career.
The record was Sinatra's first to make the UK album charts (#73) in 30 years.
Sinatra also recorded "Another Gay Sunshine Day" for "Another Gay Movie" in 2006.
Sinatra received her own star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame on May 11, 2006, which was also declared "Nancy Sinatra Day" by Hollywood’s mayor, Johnny Grant.
In 2002, a Golden Palm Star on the Palm Springs, California, Walk of Stars was dedicated to her.
Sinatra appeared, as herself, on one of the final episodes ("Chasing It") of the HBO mob drama "The Sopranos".
Her brother, Frank Jr., had previously appeared in the 2000 episode "The Happy Wanderer".
Sinatra recorded a public service announcement for Deejay Ra's 'Hip-Hop Literacy' campaign, encouraging reading of Tarantino screenplays and related books.

Some Came Running is a 1958 American film directed by Vincente Minnelli and starring Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, and Shirley MacLaine.
Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, in a bid to duplicate the success of the multi–Academy Award winning film adaptation of James Jones' earlier novel, "From Here to Eternity" (1953), optioned the 1,200-plus-page book, "Some Came Running" and cast Frank Sinatra as the lead.
Sinatra approved Dean Martin for the role of Bama, in what would be their first film together.
Much of the film was shot in and around the town of Madison, Indiana.
MacLaine garnered her first Academy Award nomination, which she credited to Sinatra for his insistence on changing the film's ending. 
Some of the original lyrics that were penned by Martin were rejected before the show began.
They were: "Have yourself a merry little Christmas / It may be your last/ Next year we may all be living in the past / Have yourself a merry little Christmas / Pop that champagne cork / Next year we may all be living in New York."
When presented with the original draft lyric, Garland, her co-star Tom Drake and director Vincente Minnelli criticized the song as depressing, and asked Martin to change the lyrics.
Though he initially resisted, Martin made several changes to make the song more upbeat.
For example, the lines "It may be your last / Next year we may all be living in the past" became "Let your heart be light / Next year all our troubles will be out of sight".
Garland's version of the song, which was also released as a single by Decca Records, became popular among United States troops serving in World War II; her performance at the Hollywood Canteen brought many soldiers to tears.
In 1957, Frank Sinatra asked Martin to revise the line "Until then we'll have to muddle through somehow."
He told Martin, "The name of my album is "A Jolly Christmas".
Do you think you could jolly up that line for me?"
Martin's new line was "Hang a shining star upon the highest bough."
Martin made several other alterations, changing the song's focus to a celebration of present happiness, rather than anticipation of a better future.
On "The Judy Garland Show Christmas Special", Garland sings the song to her children Joey and Lorna Luft with Sinatra's alternate lyrics.
The lyrics Garland sang in "Meet Me in St. Louis" have been recorded with only slight variations by a number of artists, including Sinatra himself (in 1950 and 1963 single recordings), Doris Day (in "The Doris Day Christmas Album"), Ella Fitzgerald (in "Ella Wishes You a Swinging Christmas"), James Taylor (in "October Road"), The Pretenders in the first "A Very Special Christmas" compilation released in 1987 (which benefits Special Olympics), and Luther Vandross (in "This Is Christmas").
In 2001 the 86-year-old composer Hugh Martin, occasionally active as a pianist with religious ministries since the 1980s, wrote an entirely new set of lyrics to the song with John Fricke, "Have Yourself a Blessed Little Christmas," a religious version of the secular Christmas standard.
The song was recorded by gospel female vocalist Del Delker with Martin accompanying her on piano.
In 2002, NewSong lead singer Michael O'Brien noted the line "through the years, we all will be together if the Lord allows," which was part of the original song, was purged and replaced with "if the fates allow" to remove religious reference when the song was released.
He noted while a pastor in a California church in 1990, he had met Martin, who played piano at the church where O'Brien was serving for an evening, and the pastor was told, "That's the original way I wrote it, so I want you to sing it this way."
In addition to NewSong, Rachael Lampa, Twila Paris, Kathy Troccoli, Phil Wickham, BarlowGirl, Sidewalk Prophets, and Don Moen have recorded the song with the original lyrics.
