I remember Frankie in the gym as an engaging, affable guy, with Dean Martin charm. Heard the rumors, but never saw the dark side. Think you'll find this podcast interview with the author compelling: http://www.podbean.com/podcast-audi.../Adeyinka-Makinde-09-01-2010.mp3&autoStart=no
Very interesting interview with the author jg,of the frankie DePaula book...i cant help wondering what if DePaula when young was guided by Rocky Graziano's trainer Whitey Bimstein and mgr. Irving Cohen, from the start of DePaula's boxing career...With their guidance Frankie, I am sure would have gone further in his career, just as Graziano did...b.b.
