John "Papa Johnny" Torrio (born Giovanni Torrio; January 20, 1882 – April 16, 1957), also known as "The Fox" and as "The Immune", was an Italian-American mobster who helped build the criminal empire known as the Chicago Outfit in the 1920s that was later inherited by his protégé, Al Capone. He also put forth the idea of the National Crime Syndicate in the 1930s and later became an unofficial adviser to the Genovese crime family.
The U.S. Treasury official Elmer Irey considered him "the biggest gangster in America" and wrote as follows: "He was the smartest and, I dare say, the best of all the hoodlums. 'Best' referring to talent, not morals". Virgil W. Peterson of the Chicago Crime Commission stated that his "talents as an organizational genius were widely respected by the major gang bosses in the New York City area".
Torrio's birthplace is a topic of debate. He was born in southern Italy and possible sites of his birth are Naples,Amalfi (Campania),Orsara di Puglia (Apulia) and Irsina (Basilicata). After his father died when he was two years old, Torrio emigrated to New York City with his widowed mother. She remarried thereafter.
Alphonse Gabriel "Al" Capone (/æl kəˈpoʊn/; January 17, 1899 – January 25, 1947) was an American gangster who attained fame during the Prohibition era as the co-founder and boss of the Chicago Outfit. His seven-year reign as crime boss ended when he was 33 years old.
Capone was born in the borough of Brooklyn in New York City to Italian immigrants. He was considered a Five Points Gang member who became a bouncer in organized crime premises such as brothels. In his early twenties, he moved to Chicago and became bodyguard and trusted factotum for Johnny Torrio, head of a criminal syndicate that illegally supplied alcohol – the forerunner of the Outfit – and that was politically protected through the Unione Siciliana. A conflict with the North Side Gang was instrumental in Capone's rise and fall. Torrio went into retirement after North Side gunmen almost killed him, handing control to Capone. Capone expanded the bootlegging business through increasingly violent means, but his mutually profitable relationships with mayor William Hale Thompson and the city's police meant that Capone seemed safe from law enforcement.

Chicago was once a playground for mobsters and corrupt politicians. It wouldn't be the third largest city in the U.S. today if it weren't for the shady dealings that went on just beneath its streets. The Chicago Outfit (or simply the Outfit), also known as the Chicago Mafia, Chicago Mob, or Chicago Syndicate, is an Italian American crime syndicate based in Chicago, Illinois. Dating back to the 1910s, it is part of the American Mafia. Originating in South Side Chicago, the Outfit rose to power in the 1920s under the control of Johnny Torrio and Al Capone. The period was marked by bloody gang wars for distribution of illegal alcohol during Prohibition. Since then, the Oufit has been involved in a wide range of criminal activities including, loansharking, gambling, murder, prostitution, ext...

Another magical day
The sun reflects on your face
Your eyes they sparkle like the clear blue sky.
The breeze is calling our name
You wrap your arms around my waist
I rest my head on your shoulder, you hold me till the world stops spinning
Whisper close, and as the sunset fades
This feeling that takes over me is like a sudden rush of Ecstasy
Like a summer night in Seattle
When you kiss me under the moonlight.
Let the raindrops fall all around us,
As I sail on the wake of your love.
In your arms I'm closest to heaven
When we're dancin' under the moonlight
And the stars keep glowing like candles
Like a summer night in Seattle.
And when the winter's begun
Our hearts stay warm as the sun
Just like the evergreens, our love doesn't fade,
It lasts forever.
Close my eyes, and as the snowflakes fall
The memories all rush back to me like a never-ending fantasy.
Like a summer night in Seattle
When you kiss me under the moonlight.
Let the raindrops fall all around us,
As I sail on the wake of your love.
In your arms I'm closest to heaven
When we're dancin' under the moonlight
And the stars keep glowing like candles
Like a summer night in Seattle.
This feeling that takes over me is like a sudden rush of Ecstasy
Like a summer night in Seattle
When you kiss me under the moonlight.
Let the raindrops fall all around us,
As I sail on the wake of your love.
In your arms I'm closest to heaven
When we're dancin' under the moonlight
And the stars keep glowing like candles
Like a summer night in Seattle.
Like a summer night in Seattle
When you kiss me under the moonlight.
Let the raindrops fall all around us,
