Sinatra Fans – Close Your Eyes as Robert Davi Sings Sinatra

“Davi Sings Sinatra” is a superb love letter to the man who defined twentieth century popular music.  It’s theatrical, heartfelt, and beautifully sung, while incorporating a swagger and style that evokes Sinatra.”

….Charles Granata—Sinatra author, producer and historian…

Robert Davi: Actor, Singer, Performer

There are actors who can sing, and singers who can act and iconic screen star Robert Davi is known in inner circles as the “singer who can act.”

Davi, who studied opera as a young man, always intended to make singing his career, but as fate would have it his screen career took flight and there was no looking back.  Now after 100 movies with remarkable diversity, hit television credits and his directorial film debut, Davi is returning to his first love, making his major recording debut with a tribute to his mentor the legendary Frank Sinatra.

The project came together under the guidance of Disney Music Group Chairman Bob Cavallo and was produced by the legendary 14 time GRAMMY  Award winning and 33 time GRAMMY nominated producer Phil Ramone. Recorded with a thirty piece orchestra at the famed Capitol Studios in Hollywood, where Sinatra recorded many of his albums, DAVI SINGS SINATRA has all new arrangements by Nic Tenbroeck and was engineered by Dan Wallin. It was mixed by the incomparable Al Schmitt, who has 18 GRAMMYS and more that 150 gold and platinum selling albums to his credit.

DAVI SINGS SINATRA: ON THE ROAD TO ROMANCE is scheduled for release October 24, 2011 on Sun Lion Records, distributed through Fontana/Universal Music.

Backed by a 50-piece orchestra, Davi has been performing DAVI SINGS SINATRA to sold-out audiences and high critical acclaim in New York and Los Angeles.  Forthcoming live performances include Los Angeles and Las Vegas.  For further information go to www.DaviSingsSinatra.com.

Eddie Murphy Confirmed to Host the 84th Academy Awards

Eddie Murphy

I’ve always loved Eddie Murphy – through good and bad. From Saturday Night Live to his many movies from Beverly Hills Cop, 24 Hrs, Nutty Professor, stand-up comedy, music and to his upcoming movie Tower Heist.

From music to standup to action, Eddie has entertained us on TV, movies and live on stage and got a 2006 Oscar nomination for “Dreamgirls” for a supporting actor role (see clip below).

We’re excited to see what he brings to the 84th Academy Awards show.

 

… from the official press release: Murphy began his career at the age of 15 as a stand-up comedian. In 1980, at the age of 19, he joined the cast of “Saturday Night Live,” becoming the show’s youngest cast member to that point, and bringing to life many of the show’s most memorable  characters. His 1983 album “Eddie Murphy: Comedian” won a Grammy Award for Best Comedy Recording. It included portions of his groundbreaking HBO special “Eddie Murphy Delirious.”  In 1987, “Eddie Murphy Raw” was theatrically released and went on to gross over $50 million. Murphy made his feature film debut in 1982 with the classic “48 Hrs.” and would go on to star in such box-office hits as “Beverly Hills Cop” and the “The Nutty Professor” and “Shrek” franchises. All told, movies in which he has performed have earned in excess of $7 billion worldwide during their theatrical releases.
