Remembering Frank Sinatra on his Birthday

Posted on December 13, 2021 | Leave a comment

“12/12–On his birth date, remembering the legacy of our beloved good friend Frank Sinatra. The 5th Dimension toured with him around the world, appeared on his TV special (‘Francis Albert Sinatra Does His Thing’), and more. We joked that I was from ‘Hobo Flats,’ and he was from Hoboken…Frank is fondly mentioned throughout my memoir, ‘From Hobo Flats to The 5th Dimension.’ We were his fans…and were blessed that he was ours.” ~LaMonte McLemore

“Frank Sinatra was ALWAYS a gentleman.” ~Florence LaRue (on the Lisa Wexler radio show)

“When we worked together, I never missed the chance to watch Frank from the sidelines. His confidence, his style was a revelation.” ~Marilyn McCoo (as told to Forever 5th Dimension)
