  That is great that Dean Martin stood up for Sammy by not attending the Kennedy Inaugural. Seemed he also snubbed Lawford too.

  The Ratpack was an iconic group of well-known men in Hollywood that will NEVER be forgotten.  Much love to all of them :)

  I grew up listening to the Rat Pack and I loved it. The sixties and seventies had a lot of phenomenal music, however, nobody came close to the Rat Pack. I still enjoy listening to them. My youngest son is 29 and he is an old soul. Frank Sinatra is one of his favorites. We listen to Frank Sinatra, Perry Como, Bing Crosby, Johnny Mathis and Nat King Cole, just to name a few. Brings back some amazing memories from my childhood. Much simpler times...❤️❤️❤️👍👍👍👍👍

  I always loved Frank and Sammy since the 50s.   As a singer bassist I tried out for a trio playing at Ceasars in 74.  Frank sat in and got us the gig while playing in NYC.  Just to have a distant connection with these guys was quite an honor.

  Davis was performing with the Rat pack in a casino. The Casino refused to allow Davis stay in the hotel and said he had to use the backdoor bc he was black. When Sinatra found out he said he would not perform there if Davis couldn't stay there  Sinatra backed Davis all the way.

  As a 15 year old IM JUST OBSESSED with the Rat Pack my personal favorite is Dino and I literally listen to him everyday the class and style of these times will not be forgotten to me. Dinos show is just the funniest thing and just so iconic. (I feel like I was born in the wrong generation) Sammy davis and frank Sinatra also have great music and good performances!

  It has been said for a while that Dino used to drink apple juice instead of booze. &nbsp;He loved Martinelli&apos;s because he liked the name. &nbsp;He also loved having ice cold milk. &nbsp;RIP Dino.<br>RIP RAT PACK.

  Judy Garland and her (third) husband Sid Lift were members of the original Rat Pack. David Niven was also a member. According to one of Garland’s biographers, the original Rat Pack’s motto was “Never rat on a Rat.”

  They did represent an era that will never be repeated. I still enjoy their music, in fact, I am using some of their songs as inspiration for a novel that I am writing.
