Datline May 14: Remembering the legendary Frank Sinatra who we lost on this day, in 1998. The 5th Dimension were fans of “Ole Blue Eyes” and he was a fervent fan of ours. We toured with him from Radio City Music Hall to Royal Albert Hall and appeared on his TV special, “Francis Albert Sinatra Does His Thing.” Remember that one, where he became “The 6th Dimension” sporting one of our “mod” outfits! (see photos, below) Florence, and #MarilynBilly have so many fond memories that they often share in their own interviews. “Mac” will tell you, he’s the only celeb whose autograph I asked for…and then he asked for mine for his daughter Nancy…who was already a star! Years later, Nancy Sinatra wrote the recommendation for my memoir, “From Hobo Flats to The 5th Dimension” that’s proudly on the book’s jacket, a real full-circle groovy thing. One more thing, Frank seriously considered recording my tune, “The Singer.” It was a great honor. Today we celebrate his generosity of spirit and his unforgettable artistry.
