A quick obituary notice about Al Martino who passed away on the 13th of this month.
Al Martino's name or the name in the post may not mean anythin to you straight away but when i explain that Johnny Fontane is the Frank Sinatraesque character from The Godfather trilogy it may trigger something in you. Al Martino played Johnny Fontane in the movies and also sang songs for the soundtrack. To be honest its more the character from the book that is close to my heart as his story is far more fleshed out in Puzo's novel than it is in Coppollas film but even still, respect where its due.
RIP Mr Martino, you played your part in a film that shaped my life.

He also has the distinction of being the man who had the first British number 1 single with Here In My Heart!
i actually knew that, the reason i know that is cos it was number one the day my mother was born.
im also pretty sure it was a top 12 or something weird.
