1969. Jack Sheldon. "Dragnet." USA.

Jack Sheldon, born November 30, 1931. Jack Webb and Harry Morgan.

Jack Sheldon has appeared in many productions as both an actor and a musician. In those performances
he always brings a humor and jazz improvisational style which may explain his appeal. Jack is one of the original West Coast Bebop lions. His contribution to the cool jazz sound is documented in his own work and all he has been invited to, including, Dragnet, Star Trek, TNG, and Thanksgiving Charlie Brown to name a few.

1939 Frank Sinatra and Tommy Dorsey USA

In November 1939, in a meeting at the Palmer House in Chicago, Sinatra was asked by bandleader  Tommy Dorsey  to join his band as a replacement for Jack Leonard (the vocalist, not to be confused the comedian Jack E. Leonard), who had recently left to launch a solo career. This meeting was a turning point in Sinatra's career. By signing with Dorsey's band, one of the hottest at the time, he greatly increased his visibility with the American public. Though Sinatra was still under contract with James, James recognized the opportunity Dorsey offered and graciously released Sinatra from his contract.
