1960s - #1: On October 2, 1960, 64 years ago today, Frank Sintara perfromed a fund rasing concert for John F. Kennedy's presidential campaign (Note - some sources say this was on October 12). Sinatra was in Hawaii at the time shooting the movie The Devil at Four O'Clock. In response to criticism from Republican candidate for the House of Representatives, Frederick Titcomb who claimed show business people were making a farce out of serious politics, Frank defended the right of entertainers to campaign for their political convictions. Sinatra responed that "The Hearst papers throughout the nation are campaigning for Nixon and throwing a lot of propaganda in. If this organization of newspapers can do it, then why shouldn't I just by singing? I've been campaigning for Democrats ever since I marched in a parade for Al Smith when I was a 12-year-old kid." Interestingly, Sinatra would also campiagn for Demcrat Hubert Humphey in 1968, but in the 1980s raised funds for Republican Ronald Regan.
