| | Singing Soprano |
 | | On the hit HBO series "The Sopranos," there's only one man that north Jersey mob boss Tony Soprano truly loves and respects--his crusty old uncle, Corrado "Junior" Soprano, the symbol of a more dignified generation that is quickly passing into history. |
 | | The third season's anti-climactic ending featured most of the well-connected cast falling under Junior's spell as he sang a heartrending version of the Italian ballad "Core 'ngrato." (Daughter Meadow didn't appreciate the tune--she hurled a dinner roll at her great-uncle--but there's no accounting for taste.) |
 | | Now, after four marriages, four divorces, six children, 11 grandchildren and 50 years in the business, Chianese has his best role yet, and he's using the exposure to shine a spotlight on his music. |
