My late mother told me a story many years ago ! Frankie was offered a huge glitzy contract to star in a movie I believe it was ‘Some like it hot’ co starring The late Marilyn Monroe and a once in a lifetime to break into Hollywood and a movie career, his wife did not want to uproot and leave England he declined the opportunity putting his wife first !! Devotion and loyalty you don’t see much of that these days !
My Mam and Dad went to see him in concert and my Dad let slip that he was the best looking fella he had ever seen. He never ever lived that down, bless him. Mam loved this song. She passed yesterday. RIP Mum.
