Al Capone's Long-Lost Love Song for Sale

While doing time in Alcatraz, Al Capone once hit a guy in the face with his banjo. The notorious Chicago gangster, a lover of opera and jazz, got the instrument after pleading with the warden to let him form a band behind bars.

Capone's dream of a second career in music is now coming to light. A Boston dealer is offering a piece of sheet music, an Italian love song Capone wrote in prison called 'Madonna Mia,' for $65,000, and a historian has organized a recording of the song.

"It's a beautiful song, a tearjerker," Rich Larsen of Caponefanclub.com told the AP. Some speculate the song was written for the old softie's long-suffering wife, Mae. Wonder what Valentine's Day looked like around their house.
