@@Cynic65My tolerance was a little better, at the 19:42 mark I had to walk away. I can't stand when an interesting program has music that doesn't fit the video and/or it's too damn loud and distracting to fully enjoy it. Drives me INSANE !! 😵💫🤯😖
How amazing my Paternal Grandparents were older than Al Capone. Lived through hard times and the Roaring 20s. So different from what I know but, I listened 😊
8:05 Who is this guy? 8 minutes in and he has been wrong twice. The guy that gave Al his scars was the woman's brother, not her BF, and he is the one and only person who thinks Capone might not be responsible for the St Valentine's massacre.
Al was a good guy, he just didn't put up with much bull. I spent a lot of time with him and never had a problem from him or his boys. He always had the best party's!
The title of this is a bit misleading. He managed to take over one city. That's it. The city of Chicago. Lucky Luciano and Meyer Lansky established the national crime syndicate. 13 syndicates United as one which included, the Italians,Jews,Irish,Poles,African Americans and many others. They took it all over. Two or three gangsters thought they could stand in their way as they had the man power but they all fell prey to tax evasion. Enoch Johnson tried to stop them,he was convicted of tax evasion. Al Capone tried to take the boss of bosses title for himself and he ended up in prison for tax evasion. Later on, Mickey Cohen tried to keep the national crime syndicate out of LA. He ended up in prison for tax evasion. No one stood in the national crime syndicates way. If you did, they sent Murder Inc after you. Which was ran by the Lord High Executioner himself, Albert Anastasia. The national crime syndicate was active from 1929-1964.
That's the American point of view. Over here in the UK there's a famous saying "A hand shake from Meyer Lansky is all you need" His main enforcer was Bugsy Siegel. He owned hotels and casinos across the globe. He dealt with the Krays of London in the early 60s and ended up in the casino business with them both. Had his Cuba idea worked, there would have been two Las Vegas like places to go. But he ended up in charge of the Flamengo after Siegel was killed. So I must strongly disagree.
@@joeblair3427 I'm from the UK, it's not really up for debate. There's no way the name Al Capone, isn't more famous than Lansky or Lucky, it's not about what was achieved anyone who knows anything about the mafia knows Lucky and Lansky were more powerful, we're talking about the popularity of the name.
Non sense. Anyone who knows the name Al Capone know the names of Bugsy Siegel and Meyer Lansky as well Luciano was a little less known. To me Al Capone lost half his credit when his brother Frank was killed. Meyer never lost his street credit
All these capone era shorts seem to be stuck on the same page saint Valentine's day massacre and this supposed american narrator is also stuck on the word massacre like a parrot none of these era shorts ever diversifies whatsoever wtf
Cab Calloway wasn't famous til 1931. How could he be influential in the Roaring twenties? For as much information there is here, there is an equal amount of misinformation.
Cab Calloway was the American native in his own country who had more talent and more respect for women.. while Al and his people and the other racists who had no business being in America, and participated in perpetuating Jim Crow, made matters worse here. How none of you are embarrassed is beyond me and how Al's family refuses to apologize for destroying other peoples' families whose neighborhoods suffered from red lining and were American Freedmen goes to show they have no shame.. Cab Calloway was not the foreigner who went from city to city hurting anyone like Al and the other migrants you think were all that and then some.. you can sit there thinking that you racist immigrants deserve respect just because they came here disturbing neighborhoods none of you had any business being in. You will always be treated as a foreigner by me, the same goes for these white Mexicans, white Koreans, white Russians, white Argentines, and those West indians, Garifuna, Arabs and African refugees. Cab Calloway was part of a lineage of people who are certainly foundational here by blood prior to Reconstruction and that is known by the government who the real natives are. Stop the racism and leave Cab Calloway out of this racist criminal mess. None of you are American and that includes Luigi Mangione that other spoiled rich kid who is not a real Baltimorean. An immigrant is an immigrant. What you need to talk about is why none of you want to go back to where you came from knowing America is not your country. GTFOH racist guido trash
@@Yung-223easy, our people's labor built the country, we are Freedmen and there was a whole Renaissance in New York. Cab Calloway was the king of Jazz, but I have no problem putting more immigrants in their place. These people will always be foreign to me. I don't care how many generations they have been breeding here. A foreigner is a foreigner.
I remember Al as a man of contrasts, bold as hell but oddly soft when it came to family. We’d sit in the back of a smoky room, him nursing a cigar like it was a lifeline. He had this laugh-loud, infectious, the kind that filled a room and made everyone feel like they were in on the joke. But when it came to business, his eyes could cut through steel. People feared him, sure, but he had a loyalty about him that made you feel like you mattered. He was ruthless, yeah, but he always made time to ask about my ma’s health, like he genuinely cared. That was Al-a killer with a code.
Hard to listen to horns and background music for an hour
Thanks for letting me know.
Not that serious
Thank you for not blurring out the blood
If I didn't want to see blood I wouldn't be watching a documentary on the mob
The background music is a pain on an otherwise very good documentary
Could not agree more. It was annoying enough that I ended up not watching more than about 10 minutes.
I don’t mind it, but wish it was mixed lower. It’d be less distracting if the volume was lower

Great documentary about Al Capone❤
great movie👍🏻👌🏻🏆🏅
Weren't you in one of the Al Profit videos about Detroit?
How amazing my Paternal Grandparents were older than Al Capone. Lived through hard times and the Roaring 20s. So different from what I know but, I listened 😊
🤔 I think the roaring twenties and thirties is the start of "anything goes" and it still exists today.😊
Before the 20's in Chicago.
8:05 Who is this guy? 8 minutes in and he has been wrong twice. The guy that gave Al his scars was the woman's brother, not her BF, and he is the one and only person who thinks Capone might not be responsible for the St Valentine's massacre.
35:53, “but the chef snitches and tells Capone.” That is not what snitching means. The guy didn’t tell the POLICE. That’s stinching. 🤦🏾♀️
Desperately need to drop the music. It may be good music but it's in the way. Stopped listening 3 mins in.
“The first thing that I think of when I think of Al Capone” is Canadian Club bourbon
I don’t mean to be that guy, but that’s not a bourbon. Just a relatively sweet whisky. Bourbons are American only
Al was a good guy, he just didn't put up with much bull. I spent a lot of time with him and never had a problem from him or his boys. He always had the best party's!
100k views and not even 100 comments?!?
better expirience if you wear headphones
He was amazing
I gave up at 7 minutes......the music gets a nerve going.
It’s a good touch but it’s mixed far too loud
💯💯💯
Trump has taken over Capone title now as the biggest gangster in America
Back ground music whole time is ass
