Christmas with the Rat Pack

I read this week in the New York Times Joey Bishop, Last of the Rat Pack, died.

Joey Bishop, the long-faced comedian and last surviving member of the Rat Pack, Frank Sinatra’s celebrated retinue of the 1960s, died Wednesday night at his home in Newport Beach, California. He was 89.

Mr Bishop was the least flamboyant of the Rat Pack and no match for the others (Dean Martin, Peter Lawford, Sammy Davis Jr and Sinatra himself) in their dedication to hell raising.

But he shared in their phenomenal success in the early 1960s, when they headlined music and comedy shows at the Sands in Las Vegas and made movies like “Ocean’s Eleven” and “Sergeants 3.” When John F. Kennedy, a friend of Sinatra’s and a brother-in-law of Lawford’s, was elected president in 1960, Mr. Bishop was master of ceremonies at the inaugural ball.
So you won't be surprised this week's Christmas record is one by The Rat Pack. Joey Bishop was a stand-up comedian and he isn't on this record himself. Just Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin and Sammy Davis jr.
By the way, this week the Sands hotel was turned down to build a new one.
