Nice to get a look at the 1960 Sands Summit. It's especially neat to see Bishop and Lawford on stage since most of the surviving Rat Pack footage doesn't include them. Thanks for uploading this.
Hello and thanks for tuning in- we have all the footage ever shot of the 1960 Summit- transferred from the original 16mm optical sound reversal camera original to D-Beta and U-Matic SP with burned in time code (source for the TH-cam uploads). We can't upload any of the actual songs by Frank, Sammy, or Dean due to copyright. :)
Thank you so much for posting all of these Rat Pack videos! I'm a huge fan, I regret I never got to see them live. These boys are the best, and certainly a hilarious and fun group.
Indeed, and I've read somewhere that Joey frequently prepared the routines for them. Plus, Dean lifted a few bits from his days with Jerry; he flipped the roles, giving himself Jerry's part and Frank the straightman role.
Took an interest in Peter Lawford's career AFTER the Rat Pack. Especially who stayed loyal to him when Frank showed him the door. Sammy and Peter worked on 3 movies. Joey Bishop had a small role in Peter's produced film (Johnny Cool) and in turn made him a one-time guest on his talk show. On the other hand, it seems Dean Martin would have nothing to do with the Brother-in-Lawford.
This is the kind of show I'd want to do with my friends. We all sing and can riff off each other with no problems, but putting it together like these guys did would be the hard part.
If Peter Lawford wasn't JFK's brother-in-law, he wouldn't be allowed within 100 yards of these guys and that includes. If Frank didn't think Joey Bishop was funny, he wouldn't be allowed withing 1,000 yards of these guys. But even still, I'd like to see an act with just Joey Bishop and Peter Lawford (and maybe a few minutes of Dean.) What would be their night? Either Tuesday or Thursday.
When Frank excommunicated Peter Lawford when he couldn't get Kennedy to stay at Twin Palms, Lawford went on a drinking and drug binge that ended in his death. He literally melted.
AHAHAHA! But is a hot dog really a sandwich? Jo and Kat debate the point... :) video.foxnews.com/v/5019799289001/is-a-hot-dog-a-sandwich/?playlist_id=4249245556001#sp=show-clips
Well... this is the Copa Room at the Sands- and there's an entire orchestra up there with them... it was the biggest room in Las Vegas at the time. Louis Prima and Keely Smith were at the Sahara's Casbah Lounge- you should check them out if you've never heard them before- they were the hippest act ever.
Always loved Peter law ford but he served no purpose on that stage. When he did crack a joke or try to sing\dance it wasn't just that he was the least talented but that he was untalented. Still a very love able guy and a competent actor in the right role. Never got over losing Frank.
+Nobody's fool Right on, on all counts! Thanks for tuning in! We produced the 1999 A&E Bio of the Rat Pack. Sonny King gave us the original 16mm footage.
Lawford was a reasonably good dramatic actor and a handsome man. Those things gave him a respectable film career. On the other hand, this song-and-dance stuff was just not him.

It's so fantastic to be able to see this!!

Yes, this is true. It's also discussed in a the definitive 2k+ page, 2 vol. bio of Frank.
I like sammy Davis jr & Peter lawford they make me laugh sometimes I remember the members of the rat pack after the 6o's
Miss them all
RIP Peter Lawford!
The Man who Kept the Secrets... Thanks for tuning in, we appreciate it. :)
Entertainers never dress. This classy now.

How fun!!!
I so agree with you!
0:42 funny part
Always thought the parody of "I Love Paris" -- "I Love Vegas" was Dean's tune.
"When you're drinkin'... when you're drinkin'... the show... sounds good to you..." :)
Paul Driscoll I know - I was half expecting Dean to come out on stage to object!!

LOVE FRANK SINATRA ALL THE WAY BTW HE HATED BEING CALLED "CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD!" & So would I
Liz Blue He liked "The Leader"... LOL! Joey Bishop: "How about the GOOD the Mafia does?" Frank: "Fine organization." :)

Adding insult to injury Kennedy stayed at Bing Crosby's place who was a Republican.
Never knew Joey was a magician...he palmed the hot dog or pickle or whatever...pretty slick.
Not in your league, Paulie! :) Hey long time no speakums, hope that you are well and swingin'...
The eternal question...hot dog or pickle? I'm doing well Pallie, hope the same for you.

This proves that I was born too late!
Looks more like a lounge act by today’s standards - small stage !

I actually really want to know what Joey pulled out of the bucket.
+Jojo, the Great Bibliophile AHAHAHA! That' a cunga drum... Thanks! i think it's a hot dog...
@ECO473 What'd he pull out? I couldn't tell.
I never heard of Peter Lawford.
Where is dean.
"He went down the river with a sack of cats"... (Dean's own line) :)
Thanks for tuning in and commenting, glad you enjoyed it.

After Frank cut him off, he proceeded to drink and drug himself to death. Yeah, he never even began to get over it.
What a bunch of goofs. Some entertainment would be nice.
Peter Lawford is absolutely useless up there. "Say something nice." "Something Nice." Wow! Sharp as a meatball, Peter, sharp as a meatball.
