Frank Sinatra sings “London by Night” (1951).
Bonus tune! Who knew? Frank Sinatra's second cousin, Ray Sinatra, was a well-known musician and bandleader (he's also the guy who talked Frank out of changing his last name to "Trent"...Trent?!?). Here he is with his orchestra performing “Boogie Upstairs”.

Frank Trent could have had very steady work on Lawrence Welk. Nothing wrong with that.
I never knew that Frank Sinatra had relatives working in show business, back when.
TRENT? Wow. Lawrence Welk woulda loved him.
Except Nancy 'Boots' right Jeffs? Or was that before your time? The old man didn't make it easy for her either, either she needed a hit or she was out of his business. Luckily she found Lee Hazlewood.
I do remember "Boots", Bruce -- I'm old enough to have watched Frank Sinatra live on TV. I was thinking of back when "Blue Eyes" started out in entertainment. I don't remember hearing of his cousin, Ray, is all.
Yes we were fans of Bing Crosby and I was surprised by how many brothers he had in the business, although I'm sure my granma knew.
