This is why I love Don Rickles' story about asking Sinatra to do him a favor while he's dining in a restaurant with a woman. He asks Sinatra to stop by his table to say hi. Sinatra complies. Rickles says, "Frank! Can't you see I'm busy here?"

Could be apocryphal, but Rickles used to tell it, and I so want to believe it's true.

except i think Rickles says: Frank, can't you see i'm with people!?!

This book is all over that - quoting FBI tapes & papers
  11:40am
Dean:

Ha! I think there's a related Rickles story along those lines. He claims when Sinatra first saw him do his act he points him out in the audience and says, "Frank, make yourself at home. Hit somebody."

Both James Kaplan books on Sinatra, The Voice and the Chairman, are first rate in every way. Similar bookends to Guralnick 's Elvis.

re Sinatra- my friend told me that he had toupees of slightly different hair length. He'd wear them in order so that it seemed like his hair was growing. Clever.

Michael from the Left Coast:

Paul--if you like Jerry Fuller, listen to some of the Knickerbockers' songs (he wrote and produced many of them). Andrew Sandoval's Come to the Sunshine show on the FMU website has an hour of Knickerbockers' music. If you're not familiar with it, you're in for a treat. If you didn't know, Fuller also wrote and produced Arizona for Mark Lindsay and Show and Tell for Al Wilson.
