Frank Sinatra Jr Scheme Was Crazy

They bound Foss with masking tape and allowed Sinatra to don shoes, trousers and a coat—but no socks or proper shirt.Soon Sinatra found himself sitting blindfolded in the Impala, which Keenan guided through a blizzard down the Sierra Nevadas toward a hideout house he had rented in Canoga Park, a Los Angeles suburb eight hours from Lake Tahoe.The scheme was crazy on so many levels.Keenan and Amsler, 23-year-old former high school classmates, were greenhorn criminals. It certainly was their first kidnapping.

Sinatra appeared in a 2006 episode of Family Guy, "Brian Sings and Swings" (Season 4, Episode 19) where he was introduced as the "Member of The Board". He performs several tunes during the show, accompanied by Stewie and Brian. During the ending credits, he sings the Family Guy theme song. He also recorded a commentary for its DVD release. He returned in a 2008 episode, "Tales of a Third Grade Nothing", where he sang with Brian again, with Stewie returning as a sideline investor supporting the duo. In a sly reference to the lenient prison terms handed down to the perpetrators of Sinatra's kidnapping, Peter receives a 7-day jail sentence for setting a children's hospital on fire.

In 2006, Sinatra released an album entitled That Face! including the songs "You'll Never Know" and the self-penned song Spice.A fifteen-minute song/monologue composed by Sinatra in 1976, Over the Land, is now housed in the National Archives. It evokes the memory of the nation's flag, and its experiences since the War of 1812.
Confirming that Sinatra was there, Aunt Dorothy told PEOPLE, "He's doing okay. He had a big setback. Let's just say it's very similar to what his grandfather went through with Ava Gardner. He's been having a very tough time. He's doing better now. We think he'll pull through.
