Famous Friends

On the one hand show business can be a tough life, but on the other it’s also like a big family. No one exemplified this tenet better than Frank Sinatra. His circle of friends reads like a who’s who of the world’s greatest entertainers. Nowhere was this more evident than in his creation of the legendary Rat Pack. Together with Dean Martin, Sammy Davis Jr., Joey Bishop & Peter Lawford, Sinatra formed a show business fraternity that was and always will be the essence of “cool”. Discuss.

Yes, it is a shame that the younger generations don't know the generation of the Great American Songbook. We as a society suffer from Musical alzheimer's because we have forgotten the great music that has gone before us. I say the music that has come before me I am in awe of,as well as the music of my formative years, while the music that comes after me I can't identify with.

It is a little more complex than that, actually... a main thing that I think should always be mentioned (since so many bogus stuff about that is written on the web) is that Sinatra, Dean, Sammy and the rest of the "Clan" in the late 50s/early 60s (including Shirley MacLaine) never referred to themselves as Rat Pack (only the press did), nor did they appreciate the term; they called their joint appearances "The Summit". Of course, they had their stage routine referring to each other repeatedly as "you dirty rat".
