I had my photo taken sitting on his knee. I was about 8 years old. He had such kind eyes and a wonderful smile. Sadly I no longer have that photo but I remember the event as though it was yesterday .

I looked up Mr. Vaughan and became an instant fan. This is one of the many remarkable things about our recorded age. What is a memory to someone else, is something fresh and new to me. The U.S. really had no one who compared to Mr. Vaughan. There was Frank Sinatra, who was inaccessible, and whose bad boy behavior was attractive only at a distance. There is Steve Lawrence, who sings as beautifully, handles comedy, and appeals to an audience which admires his long marriage and his charitable works. But charisma? Star power? Not to equal Mr. Vaughan's. He is unique.

Here'...Another interesting article. THANK YOU! <br />Here's a link to Frankie's obit. from The Independent which I enjoyed reading: http://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/obituary-frankie-vaughan-1119924.html<br /><br />I heard of Frankie growing up in the 1970s. We used to have a bunch of old sheet music from the UK, and I remember seeing Frankie's picture on the cover of some of the scores. Other singers I remember include Donald Peers, Gracie Fields, Jack Hulbert (and his wife Cicely Courtneidge), Anne Shelton, Anna Neagle, and Barbara Lyon. Thanks to Youtube, I've been able to hear some of these people for the very first time. Great blog -- THANKS again! Dave in Victoria, BCAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
