Jack D'Amico as Frank
Sinatra
Jack D 'Amico, as Frank
Sinatra, is probably the most impressive
character in the show, wiggling his hips in a
subdued but very Sinatra-ish way. It is his
voice, however, which makes everybody sit up and
pay attention: it is exactly the great master's
voice and intonation. Incredible! That's what
the Aruba News said after his recent appearance
at the Alhambra Casino, with The Chicago Rat
Pack. Although he has performed tributes to
Frank Sinatra for the past seventeen years,
Jack's talents are not limited to these
tributes. Having shared the stage with numerous
headliners, and entertaining audiences for years
in a variety of arenas he has been favorably
compared to the most popular of the saloon
singers. Dave Hoekstra of the Chicago Sun-Times
has written: "Chicago's favorite Sinatra
stylist, Jack D 'Amico, is a brilliant saloon
singer in his own right."
His favorite kind of music; music that comes
from the heart. If you want the world on a
string, or someone to tug on your heartstrings,
look no further. Jack D'Amico has arrived!
