From the top of the world to eternity.

[Lurkina.n.Learnin]

I always liked Dean more than Frank.

For a sobering look for some that haven’t checked out the strip lately, link to Vegas street cams:

Just zoom in to the Vegas area and check it out. It any film companies needed to do some chase scenes, now would be the time to do it. LOL!

[rktman]

IF not it. DOH!

I was joking on another thread about a week ago doing the same thing in Times Square.

[Atticus]

Sammy was hands down the most talented in my humble opinion. Again, just my opinion. There is a great video of him on the Ed Sullivan show playing the drums and xylophone.

It’s still Frank’s world...we just live in it.

[Captain Peter Blood]

Me to

[BenLurkin]

Wait a minute. What about Joey Bishop?

[eyeamok]

I just watched the 1978 Dean Martin roast of Frank Sinatra over the weekend. I knew every person on the show, someday I might write a book

[ConservativeInPA]

People don't talk this way anymore. Monologue from Frank Sinatra Live at the Sands

[Bruiser 10]

One of the great unanswered questions of the 20th Century: what was Joey Bishop doing in the Rat Pack?

[Fiji Hill]

Two members of the Rat Pack, Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin took part in a birthday celebration/political rally for Ronald Reagan in 1980 at the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles, which I attended. I got to hear Sinatra sing—he led us all in singing, “Happy Birthday.”

“ One of the great unanswered questions of the 20th Century: what was Joey Bishop doing in the Rat Pack?“

Some one had to be the hanger on.

[NFHale]

From a time of class...
to now... a time of crass.

Those guys were always dressed to the max. Pure style.
Now... thugs, sluts, hoods, and butts.

I miss old America. Truly.

[decal]

“(W)hat was Joey Bishop doing in the Rat Pack?”

Or Peter Lawford? Or Rowan and Martin?

[Bonemaker]

Same here mate...when America was still America.

[Inyo-Mono]

I hated it when Joey Bishop filled in for Johnny Carson back in the ‘60s & ‘70s. He was terrible.

[Bonemaker]

You got a historic once in a lifetime twofer out of that!

[golux]

That is cool. My personal memory from all this is that I spent a little bit of time with Shirley Maclaine about fifteen years ago. She was very sweet and very “out there.” I mentioned that my mother had done her hair on a few occasions, and she kindly pretended to remember.
