AT THE 5 IN ATLANIC CITY

5AM SHOW"

THIS IS THE 5AM SHOW IN THE SINATRAMA ROOM AT THE LATIMER CAFE.  THIS IS A SOUVINEIR RECORD THAT WAS GIVEN TO VISITORS OF THE LATIMER CAFE, AND COULD NOT BE PURCHASED. 

Rodstein obtained a tape of a show featuring Frankie, Dino and Sammy, dubbed it a "Summit Meeting" and released it on the Latimer label. There are plenty of disclaimers: "Restricted collectors item," "Non published album," "Souvenir," "Not available anywhere else," "Offered as a gift," "Not for sale or resale."

On to the "Summit Meeting." Rodstein introduces the album as having been recorded at the 500 Club in Atlantic City, NJ, August 15th, 1962, the 4 a.m. (!) show. It starts with an emcee's introduction of Dino "direct from the bar." Dino croons his way through "I'm Going to Sit Right Down and Write Myself a Letter," "Volare" and "An Evening in Roma(?)." Dino sounds a little drunk, but with him it's hard to tell. Suddenly there are loud female screams from the audience. Frankie takes the mike: "While they sober up the drunk, I'll sing a few songs" he croaks. Frankie is definitely drunk. He staggers through "Goody Goody," "At Long Last Love" and "I Get a Kick Out of You." Next up is Sammy, who starts off with "The Lady is Tramp." His voice is very hoarse (Frank at one point interjects "I think you're blowing your reed"). Sammy stops after a verse and starts complaining about how he can't sing "The Lady is a Tramp" because it's a Frankie song. But hey, wouldn't it be neat to hear how other people might interpret the song? Sammy proceeds to do imitations of Jimmy Cagney, Marlon Brando, Edward G. Robinson, Lionel Barrymore and George "Kingfish" Stevens doing "their" versions of "The Lady is a Tramp." Besides his hoarse voice he's pretty good.

Side two opens with interminable drunken clowning around by the boys. Finally they realize they owe the audience a few more songs. Sammy promises to dance while Dino and Frankie sing. Dino starts with "Can't Give You Anything but Love." Frank (who sings too loud and swears throughout) takes over and stumbles into "Too Marvelous for Words." Dino and Frankie alternate through "It Had to Be You," "The Lady is a Tramp," "Where or When," "All of Me," and "Got the World on a String." Sammy joins in for "Birth of the Blues." They introduce the piano player, Ken Lane, and orchestra leader, Johnny Silvera, and the show mercifully comes to a close. The "Summit Meeting" is a success, at lease for the liquor distributors.
