The Rat Pack
The so-called Rat Pack wasn't a group in the normal sense, but consisted of a loose confederation of actors, comedians, and singers lumped together by the media under that name in the early '60s. Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Sammy Davis Jr., Joey Bishop, and Peter Lawford formed the core of the Rat Pack, and they appeared together in several movies, including Robin and the Seven Hoods and the original Ocean's Eleven.
Sinatra, Davis, and Martin, the singing contingent of the group, all managed long individual careers in the recording industry, and would occasionally band together to do nightclub concerts, frequently in Las Vegas, that were equal parts comedy and music, and heavy on caricature, playing off of the trio's huge public personas. Several of these shows have been released on CD, VHS, and DVD under various titles, and while they conjure a kind of emblematic nostalgia for a particular time and place in the mythic 1960s (a time when a martini and a tux were seemingly all you really needed), Davis, Sinatra, and Martin are musically much better served by the material on their individual albums. ~ Steve Leggett, Rovi

Call both. I did each one twice until i got through, in succession.
So, I got through on the phone to Art Laboe at HOT 92.3 in SoCal and he said himself that, and I quote from his website
I love the RAT PACK and the indivual members.
My one strong objection was the way Sammy Davis Jr was treated.
He was the BUTT of so much.
It was very unkind.
Many years ago I read an artical that Sammy Davis Jr wrote.
It was so long ago that i can't quote where to find it now.
It was not on the Internet.
In the artical the jest of waht Sammy davis Jr said was...
.if not for Sanitra he woud have had to contiune to stay in COLORED ONLY motels
