Frankie Vaughan

Real Name: Frank Abelson
Birth Date: 3rd February 1928
Birth Place: Liverpool

Frankie Vaughan's singing career began during the late 1940s in the Variety theatre. His song and dance routines became a popular stage act and he became renowned for his sexy image and stylish clothes- tail suit, bow tie, top hat and cane. During the 1950s he extended his audience through records. His singles sold well being especially popular with female record buyers. In 1955 he recorded the song that was to become his trademark and theme, 'Give Me The Moonlight' which he generally sang at the end of his high stepping stage act.

Frankie had a very long recording career and could be relied on to reach the chart in most years up to the end of the 1960s. He was also recognised as a fine ambassador for his home city, Liverpool long before the Beatles. He also gave of his efforts freely in aid of his most favoured charity, the 'National Association Of Boys Clubs' for which he was eventually awarded an OBE.

He appeared in several movies and starred alongside Marylin Monroe in 'Let's Make Love' during 1960. However, press stories that have tried to concoct a romantic link between him and the actress are apochryphal in nature.

Frankie Vaughan was one of the greatest British performers of the mid-20th century. He successfully made the transition from the variety stage to films and television and has one of the most enviable histories of record making of the era.

I had the privelidge to see him performing in the Musical "42nd Street" in London in the mid 1980's and he was just amazing even then. He had the voice right up until the end which came in 1999 after a long battle with heart problems!!

I AM HAPPY TO COMBINE POSTAGE ON MULTIPLE PURCHASES

eBaY IN THEIR INFINITE WISDOM HAVE VERY STUPIDLY PUT A FALSE CEILING ON THE COST OF POSTING 78s IN THE UK OF £4 !!

THIS IS A FRAGILE 78 AND THE COMBINED COST OF SAFE PACKING AND POSTAGE BY 1ST CLASS MAIL OR BY AIRMAIL SMALL PACKET IS - IN THE UK £ 5 , EUROPE £ 8 , AND REST OF WORLD IS £ 12

So for UK customers unless you pay the optional £1 "insurance" charge this record will be posted 2nd class - sorry
