In 1957, after the passing of Bogart, Frank Sinatra and Lauren Bacall became engaged and planned a marriage while living together in Sinatra's homes. Frank Sinatra became the Rat Pack leader from 1957 on. By the end of the 1950s, the Rat Pack evolved into an informal production group whose members united their star power to support each other's careers. At that time, the Rat Pack activities expanded to Las Vegas where members performed regular gigs and helped each other by making unannounced appearances to impress the audiences. In 1958, three Rat Pack members, Sinatra, Martin, and MacLaine starred in Some Came Running that was popular with the public. At the same time in 1958, a story about a series of Las Vegas casino robberies circulated among entertainers, so Peter Lawford bought the rights and Frank Sinatra became interested in the idea. Several members of the Rat Pack who were regulars in Vegas, were naturally fit to lead the cast of characters in the upcoming production, including Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Sammy Davis Jr., Peter Lawford, and Joey Bishop.[7] and also Angie Dickinson, Cesar Romero, and Shirley MacLaine. A variety of writers worked on the project, titled Ocean's 11, and the production was set to begin in January 1960.
Dean Martin's son Dean Paul Martin died in a plane crash in March 1987 on the San Gorgonio Mountain in California, the same mountain where Sinatra's mother was killed in a plane crash ten years earlier. Martin had since become increasingly dependent on alcohol and prescription drugs. Davis had hip replacement surgery two years previously, and was estranged from Sinatra because of Davis's use of cocaine.[19] Davis was also experiencing severe financial difficulties, and was promised by Sinatra's people that he could earn between six and eight million dollars from the tour.[20]
Frank Sinatra Where Are You Rar
Excellent article! Lots of research and some rare photos. I've never seen any mention in discographies or elsewhere of Sinatra and Basie going back to the Sands in April or May, 1966. This may be a minor correction to the article. Otherwise, a very interesting read. Since it was written in 2016, I'm sure you're aware that now we have the release of a third night from Sinatra and Basie in January, 1966, at the Sands. It's part of the 2018 Sinatra box set "Standing Room Only."
The legendary Frank Sinatra was the first performer to get his hands on the song, which became a million-selling hit in 1953 (and spilling over with popularity into 1954) where it reached the No. 2 spot in the Billboard charts. Astonishingly, the song was such a widespread hit that a movie that Sinatra was filming at the same time with Doris Day was renamed to the song title, and the song was included in the opening and closing credits of the movie, which was released as Young at Heart.

Born in Atlanta and raised throughout Georgia, Tennessee, and the Carolinas, there is a bluesy, Southern gothic vibe that still tethers Marshall to her roots, as if she sprang from a Tennessee Williams play, simmering with brute vulnerability and a volcanic yearning to be heard. But she's also a protégé of New York City, where she lived for decades, a deft translator of the desperation beneath the surface of urban chaos and artifice. Her cover of Fred Ebb and John Kander's "New York, New York," that swaggering anthem sung with macho bravado by Frank Sinatra, is reconfigured as the fleeting, minor key "New York" on Marshall's 2008 album Jukebox as an anguished plea to a ruthless Gotham. Marshall might be mostly based in Miami these days, where she raises her son, but she's still attached to the city that shaped her as a young artist. She'll always be a succinct narrator of Lower East Side angst.
