(2006) The one and only crooner Frankie Laine holding my 2006 release "Three Equals One" in his San Diego home. I had approached Frankie's manager, Jimmy Marino, about singing on it. However, he had just retired (at age 93) because of health issues. Mr. Laine was a very generous man. He agreed to do an audio track that I could use on the CD. He and his musical director, Benny Holman, both did a review of the CD on mini-disk. It was an amazing brush with greatness. Check out FrankieLaine.com if you are not familiar with the legacy that this Jazz/Country/Gospel singer left behind. Frankie Laine passed away last year and will be missed by all.
