Sinatra Lives!
Gary Anthony
Frank Sinatra’s image, music, cultural significance and coolness quotient is too great for him to ever really die. Why should we be deprived of the man who put Hoboken on the national map? Death, oftentimes, is a boon for an artist’s career. Just look at Elvis. And The Fab Faux reminds us that Beatle music will always outlive the four guys who originally made it. It’s just too good to stop when they do.
Enter Hollywood’s Gary Anthony. He’s been perfecting his craft for decades and it comes out true every time. His mannerisms, his look, his voice, it’s Sinatra. It’s where Anthony—as actor, comedian, singer, Master of Ceremonies—disappears. He inhabits his role completely.
His father directed a big-band. He was up on that stage at 10, and in the studio at 18 with “High Tide” by The Allens, with his siblings, a 1975 #1 produced by Mike Curb, written by the Osmond Brothers, and released by Motown. He went the teen idol route for a bit, being introduced on television by Johnny Carson, Merv Griffin and Dick Clark. He traveled around the world appearing at international fests (including Indonesia!). And he does a Rat Pack show with Andy DiMino and Lambus Dean. Sinatra Lives!
