A piece I wrote back in 2015 – Facebook memories brought it back to me.

Happy Birthday, Frank Sinatra

He was born on this day in 1915. As it is the holiday season, I give you this joyful tune from Frank and a bonus Dean Martin.

My figure is definitely less than Greek.

New Year

December 31, 2019 Rondi Adamson

Happy New Year from Dean, Frank and the Ding-a-Lings. Which begs the question…were the Ding-a-Lings a different group from the Golddiggers? Did they precede them/morph into them? I remember Dean and the Golddiggers from my childhood, but I have no recollection of these Ding-a-Lings. Ah well – glad to have discovered this, for ’tis delightful:

The Sacred. Glorious:

The Silly. Fun and also kind of glorious:

Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night.

He would have been 104 today. Here’s a piece I wrote for his 100th.

Diahann Carroll, RIP

October 6, 2019 Rondi Adamson

I had a Julia Barbie doll that I adored. Carroll was a beautiful, talented woman, who apparently got her heart ripped out by Sidney Poitier! (If you’re going to get crushed, better by someone fab, I always say.) Here she is with Frank and Dean, in 1965. The first two songs are only Frank and Dean, but they are so great I decided to post this longer clip.

Sheesh, she was gorgeous. At the risk of sounding like my curmudgeonly self, they don’t make entertainers like these three anymore, and that is a tragedy.
