- All right, you got the note?
- Yeah, right.
Nice and tight.
Two, three, four.
This is the Fordham section
of The Bronx... my home.
A world unto itself.
You can get to any borough
in 15 minutes from here,
but they might as well be
And the sound of the bells
would fill the neighbourhood.
It was 1960, and doo-wop
was the sound on the streets.
It felt like there was a doo-wop
group on every corner back then.
What a time it was!
The New York Yankees were playing
the Pittsburgh Pirates
in the World Series...
and Mickey Mantle
was like a god to me.
My dad would take me to Yankee Stadium
and we'd watch the Yankees win.
That's the Chez Bippy -
that's where all the guys hung out.
But I'll tell you about them later.
That's my building.
I live right there on the third floor.
There's my stoop.
And on warm summer nights
all through the neighbourhood...
you would hear young Italian men
romancing their women.
Hey, Marie!
- Get in the f*cking car!
- No!
- Get in the car!
- Leave me alone.
- Come on, baby, you know I love you.
- Yeah, bullshit.
Will ya get in the f*cking car!
And right there,
right there under that lamppost there,
stood the man -
the number-one man
in the neighbourhood... Sonny.
Everybody loved Sonny
and treated him like a god.
And in my neighbourhood,
he was a god.
And I would sit on my stoop
and watch him, all day and all night.
look at me.
Never, until one day.
- What do you want?
- You got room in there for us?
You wish!
- Oh, shit!
- Let's go!
That's my dad, Lorenzo Anello.
His bus route was 187th Street.
I used to love to ride the bus with him.
That's me, Calogero,
nine years old.
- All right. See you later, Pop.
- OK.
Go right upstairs, son.
That's my mum, Rosina.
She met my dad at a dance.
They fell in love
and they've been together ever since.
You're always listening.
Take care of this f*cking...
Come on. Knock him out!
The Chez Bippy.
This is where all the guys hung out.
Get the f*ck out of here!
Take a walk!
Tony Toupee was owner of the bar
in name only.
It was really Sonny's place.
Tony was a frustrated singer
and everybody hated his voice.
So just for spite, he'd never utter
a spoken word - he would only sing it.
They called him Tony Toupee because
he wore the worst hairpiece in the world.
Eddie Mush was a degenerate gambler
and the biggest loser in the world.
They called him "Mush" because
everything he touched turned to mush.
Never mind "Eddie my love",
I need a winner!
At the race track, the teller would
give him his tickets already ripped up.
I had the Yankees. They lost.
If it wasn't for bad luck,
I wouldn't have no luck at all.
JoJo the Whale.
You didn't walk with JoJo,
If you stared at JoJo long enough,
you'd see him get fatter by the hour.
Legend has it his shadow
once killed a dog.
They called him
Frankie Coffeecake...
because his face looked like
a Drake's Coffeecake.
He was tough to look at.
Hey, kid, how you doin'?
His name was Jimmy Whispers
and he was Sonny's main man.
They called him "Whispers" because
everything was a secret to him.
Danny K. O. Knocked guys out...
and Bobby Bars
spent half his life behind them.
This was Sonny's crew,
and nobody f*cked with these guys.
What are ya doin' here?
Didn't we tell you not to come here?
Didn't I tell ya not to come upstairs!
Wait till I tell your father!
- What were you doing here?
- I was looking for Daddy.
Well that's very nice!
I have to get somethin' in the store.
