Are there two words in all of show business that still signal electrifying entertainment more than "Frank Sinatra?"
Still holds true, long since his amazing voice was silenced.
On October 19 1958, Old Blue-eyes starred in one of a series of music and comedy specials on ABC-TV (referred to then, by some, as the Anemic Broadcasting Company:) he'd been hosting for Timex watches since the Fall of 1957.
The production values, were by 1950's standards, spartan in their elegance.
The music was vibrant and vital.
The hour is replete with favorites from the songbook of Sinatra standards.
The show credits are impressive, with iconic songwriters Jimmy Van Heusen and Sammy Cahn serving as executive producers.
Be sure to check-out the LIVE commercial with spokesman John Cameron Swayze!!:)
Here, in LIVING MONOCHROME, from the VISO MUSIC YOU TUBE site is TIMEX PRESENTS THE FRANK SINATRA SHOW, a high voltage, Eisenhower- Era romp starring Frank, Dean Martin, Bing Crosby and Mitzi Gaynor.
Enjoy!!!!
