Volume 173: Dean’s Swingin’

This is the second of the three main Rat Pack members we will hear from here in season four of this show. This crooner is the one we DIDN’T get to see in concert with the other two back in March of 1988 at the Richfield Coliseum.

He’s a singer, actor, and comedian. One of the most popular entertainers of the mid-20th century, he was nicknamed “The King of Cool”. And his music is still among the most streamed today.

So, get ready to hear the voice that had just as many teenage girls swooning as Old Blue Eyes did in Volume 173: Dean’s Swingin’.
