Okay everyone - it’s time for the first ever Crooner Culture blog project!
Here’s the skinny…
Everyone has old family photos from the 40’s and 50’s laying around somewhere. Maybe your cousin’s got them all, or your sister, or your 80 year old Uncle […]

Opening Harry Connick, Jr. Crooner Week with a list of facts about the Southern crooner…
Harry’s birthday is on 9/11 (1967). His birth name is Joseph Harry Fowler Connick, Jr. and he was born in New Orleans, LA.
He’s been nicknamed “Vice-Chairman of The Board”. As you may know, Frank Sinatra is “Chairman of The Board”. What […]

As part of b5media’s music channel list project, our theme this time around is “Top 10 artists/bands to invite to the holiday office party” and of course, I’m going to list crooners! This has to be one of those “alive or dead” things for this category, but here we go:
10. Marilyn Monroe - Yes, she’s […]

Yay! I love this! I really don’t think I could’ve imagined a better image!
As I mentioned in the previous post about the Sinatra stamp, I used to be a stamp collector when I was a kid, and I have a set of the Audrey Hepburn stamps that came out a few years ago (2003, I […]

Today would’ve been Frank Sinatra’s 92nd birthday.
The US Postal Service is honoring him (finally) with a stamp which will be unveiled sometime later today. (The image on the left is not necessarily the image to be used on the stamp, however it’s a photo from the same time period (’50s) as the supposed image on […]

I’ve listened to the samples on Amazon of this album and I’m not so sure I’m a fan just yet. I might have to buy it, and/or a couple others, but it seems to me like he’s just trying to stylize Sinatra - and IMHO that’s just not a good thing. Doesn’t mean he’s bad […]

Okay, so I’m totally NOT a fan of “Cake” but when I was looking for Frank Sinatra videos, I found this thing.
Kinda boring if you ask me. But what the heck, it’s some kind of tribute, right? Sorta? Maybe? LOL

Just wanted to post a few interesting Frank Sinatra related websites for your perusal. We all know that Ol’ Blue Eyes “never touched the stuff” (meaning the internet) but his family and fans sure have.
The Frank Sinatra Foundation - “Helping those in need was at his spiritual core.”
SINATRA: A Voice In Time (1939-1952) - This […]

Two items this morning, one that floored me…
First, the last surviving member of the Rat Pack, Joey Bishop, has passed away at 89.
An adept ad-libber with a dry, underplayed sense of humor, Bishop achieved his greatest fame in the ’60s. He was master of ceremonies for President Kennedy’s inaugural gala and joined Sinatra, Dean […]

With today’s temperatures proposed to go into the 80’s (Yes, it’s OCTOBER and I’m in NEW YORK!) I think the boys should head out for a last round of golf, don’t you?
After 18 holes, everyone buys the best guy a drink (or is it the other way around?) and I think this recipe from TheBar […]

All about the style, swagger, and sexy hip of the smooth-voiced singers from the 40's, 50's, and 60's era of music and life.
