Although Martino (1927-2009), born Jasper Cini had a string of hits from the early 1950s
into the 1970s, he is perhaps best known for his role as singer Johnny Fontane (a character
supposedly based on Frank Sinatra) in The Godfather(1972). After Martino had a smash
hit with his debut single Here in My Heart, he signed a recording contract with Capitol
Records and released a string of Top 10 hits. Although his career in the U.S. waned somewhat
when Martino was forced to flee to Britain after a Mafia-connected management team wanted
a piece of the action, Martino re-established himself in America through a series of TV
performances. His career rebounded with the 1963 hit I Love You Because, and in 1965 he
recorded his smash signature song Spanish Eyes. Martino was also able to reach an entire
new audience in 1972 through his role in The Godfather. After parting with Capitol ten years
later, the crooner continued to perform in clubs, lounges and casinos. In 2000, he released
another album, Style. Fine condition.
