and I can't think of his name.

When I was about 17 or 18, Elvis appeared on the scene. I liked him too, but nothing like Frank.

I used to take my kids and friends out for a cone, or to the video store, and would play a Sinatra tape, the kids were in high school, and by the time they had heard so much Sinatra over the years with me, they admitted that they honestly had gotten to love him - boys and girls. I could still hear them in my mind singing New York, New York, and we had a great time just going to the store . _
