He's really good, that Frank.
Little-known fact:
When Vince Lombardi was a high-school football coach in New Jersey, the team would play on Friday nights. After the games, Vince would take Marie to a small restaurant/roadhouse for a late dinner.
They enjoyed the singing of a scrawny young man at that roadhouse, and often (feeling sorry for him) would buy him a dinner, too...
Thus began a lifelong friendship between Lombardi and Sinatra.
More at PowerLine including Frank's 1958 recording of "One More for the Road."
Thanks for sharing the Lombardi-Sinatra connection. I'd never heard that before.
