TB is right. Colombo and Gotti, for sure. And you can make a case for a little Crazy Joe, too.
The line below was lifted verbatim right out of Jerry Capeci's first Gotti bio, "Mob Star." It supposedly happened between Gotti and Michael Franzese. Just switch John Gotti for Michael Corleone. It was published in 1988, a year before they started filming "Godfather 3."
"If there is some guy running around this city saying, 'Fuck Michael Corleone,' what do we do with a piece of shit like that? He's a fucking dog."
Michael also states, "His picture is on the cover of the New York Times magazine. He gets the Esquire magazine award, for the best-dressed gangster! The newspapers praise him, because, he hires Blacks into his family, which shows he has a good heart. He, is famous. Who knows? Maybe one day, he will make all of you, popular."
Now the New York Times and Esquire references were clearly Gotti references. A Gotti drawing famously made the cover of Time magazine back in 1986. He was wearing a double breasted suit and the article mentioned his reputation as being the "best dressed gangster in Queens."
As for hiring blacks into his family, that could have easily come from one of the Gallos brothers---probably Joe, who grew tight with the black inmates while doing time for extortion.
"I got news for you. If it wasn't for the toilet, there would be no books." --- George Costanza.

..... And you can make a case for a little Crazy Joe, too. Absolutely pizzaboy. He LOVED the cameras. Crazy Joe was known as being a "Chic" gangster for his hobnobbing with many "upper echelon" uptown types. It was Marta and Jerry Orbach who took a liking to Crazy Joe. They began introducing him around town to people like Joan Hackett, David Steinberg, etc., who in turn began inviting him to these private upscale parties thrown by the rich and famous. I think Bob Dylan wrote a song about Crazy Joe.
"Io sono stanco, sono imbigliato, and I wan't everyone here to know, there ain't gonna be no trouble from me..Don Corleone..Cicc' a port!"
"I stood in the courtroom like a fool."

Welcome!  I'm a Boston-Edison man myself. Linwood/Chicago/Boston. Nice to have another Detroiter here. Hope you stick around... No plm...weird thing was, I actually live in Detroit until I was 7 until I move to Mississippi, but I would travel back and forth every winter and summer break during every chance I got...my late grandfather was a well-known Detroit Police Detective on the radio in the 70s and 80s and was actually instrumental in quelling the riot in '67 over the radio with the "Queen". Ironically though, it was my great-uncle (his brother-in-law) across the river in Canada (Chatham) that had a huge collection of books on the mafia, and that were I first found the Godfather book at 11 years old (I was reading Lords of the Rings by 8 yrs. old lol)...I read the Godfather and haven't been the same since..would look for every Mafia book I could find ...lol.

yeah, great thread! it got me curious about the Gallo Brothers once again but I didn't choose the most reliable source... now, is most of this really true? and especially this? "...a member of the Gallo group arranged for a hitman to be flown in from Las Vegas, who would be dispatched to ambush the Colombo leadership during the meeting. However, the hitman fired at the wrong table, in the process killing two innocent businessmen."

"...a member of the Gallo group arranged for a hitman to be flown in from Las Vegas, who would be dispatched to ambush the Colombo leadership during the meeting. However, the hitman fired at the wrong table, in the process killing two innocent businessmen." I read the link you posted and came upon this: In February 1961, the Gallos kidnapped Profaci underboss Joseph Magliocco and capos Frank Profaci, John Scimone and Joseph Colombo and held them for ransom. For their release, Profaci negotiated an agreement with the Gallos. However, after the men were released, Profaci reneged on the agreement and went after the Gallo crew. On August 20, 1961, Persico, now a Profaci loyalist, lured Larry Gallo into meeting him at a lounge.
Profaci capo Dominic "Mimi" Scialo and his men unsuccessfully attempted to strangle Larry at the meeting. The Gallos now declared open war on Profaci. In 1961, Joey Gallo was sentenced to ten years in prison, but the conflict continued. In June 1962, Proface died of natural causes and the family leadership passed to Magliocco. In 1963, with the conviction of two more Gallo crew members, the conflict ended. ....nearly strangle at lounge sounds very familiar...Frankie Five Angels anybody?

By the way, that bar/restaurant looks a lot like the set used in The Sopranos when they show Carmine Lupertazzi's headquarters/social club. Towards the end of the series, it's where Phil has that posthumous birthday party for his dead brother and his whole family is there. Anyone else see the resemblence of that bar or am I going pazzo?!? The bar also looks like the bar in "A Bronx Tale" where the motorcycle gang got their azzes kicked.
