Description
Cary Hoffman has been wowing Manhattan night club audiences with a Capital Records-era fashion performance at New York's Famous Carnegie Club for four years. His show is distinguished by impeccable phrasing and Nelson Riddle-styled arrangements. Cary is living his dream to croon these great Sinatra standards of the 50's and 60's. Although he bears no resemblance to Sinatra and wouldn't even pass socially for Rat Pack material: a vegetarian who doesn't smoke and only occasionally drinks a glass of wine. He sounds more like the young Sinatra than even the older Sinatra did.
Hoffman's performance includes stories about Sinatra. He tells how the music was created and of the indelible impact Sinatra had on his life as a young man growing up on Long Island without a father, but with a dream of someday singing Frank Sinatra's songs with a big band.
The first airing of Cary Hoffman's Public Television Special, "My Sinatra: The Songs and The Stories" on New York's PBS station WLIW Channel 21 on June 3rd, 2003 was such an incredible success (high ratings and high pledge dollar response, beating out Tony Bennett's special that aired after Cary's My Sinatra) that 40 Public Television Stations around the country have chosen to air this marvelous recreation of Frank Sinatra's greatest songs.
