Frank Sinatra Jr. passed away yesterday (March 16) after suffering a cardiac arrest whilst on tour in Florida. Son of a legend Frank Junior was an outstanding performer himself albeit without the charisma of his illustrious father. He was in London last year although the only time I personally saw Frank Sinatra Jr. in concert was back in the 1960s when he appeared at Newcastle City Hall with a Tommy Dorsey Band led by Sam Donahue.
