Singer Al Martino who played the Frank Sinatra-type role of Johnny Fontane in “The Godfather,” died Tuesday afternoon at his childhood home at the age of 82.

Alison Martino (Al’s daughter), described the death as sudden but did not give a cause.

Martino was known for hit songs including “Here in My Heart,” “Spanish Eyes,” “Can’t Help Falling in Love” and “Volare.”

Besides acting in the Marlon Brando classic “The Godfather,” Martino sang “I Have But One Heart (O Marenariello)” in the 1972 film. His Fontane character is a singer and occasional actor and is the godson of Brando’s Mafia boss character, Don Vito Corleone.

He was born in South Philadelphia as Alfred Cini and was a longtime resident of Beverly Hills, Calif.
