The music is composed by Peo (his Master's Voice) the words by Dawn Sinclair and the vocalist is Terry Wigmore. This is an imaginary scene with the famous (or infamous) Rat Pack and all the main characters appear.

English lyricist working with dozens of composers and artists
I am a lyricist working with many composers and artists around the world and most frequently with 2 guys, Juri Rosenfeld and Mark Ellis who, although their styles are entirely different, are both extremely talented as musicians and composers, as well as producers. Along with these two, with whom I have written more than 50 songs....I have been most fortunate to collaborate with so many others that the list is almost endless but two very talented ladies spring to mind: Dawn Diamond and Amy Caldwell, who have not only both composed for my words but have also both are possessed of beautiful voices and have sung many, many times on songs I have written. There is no ONE genre I write for, since a lyricist has to be able to write for ANY category and I do, but one thing I try to be always, is honest in my work because when there is integrity, there is a way to relate to the song and if occasionally I meander into the poetic, it is because I am and always have been, since the age of 13 years, a poet...but that doesn't mean everything I write is flowery or full of metaphors...as I say, I strive always to be real and of course, most importantly, to be as unique as possible.

Story behind the song
I wanted to create a scene showing the camaraderie of The Rat Pack and their musicians and Peo's music was perfect for it.
Lyrics
The Rat Pack Blues By Dawn Sinclair Deano’s fallen in a whisky bottle ‘Cause Jerry’s nagging got him at full throttle Everyone else is looking at that paint that’s been a-peeling Since Ole Blue Eyes tipped his hat at the disappearing rat And they say that Sammy one eye - was a genuinely goy guy Who sang for his supper but I don’t believe that Charlie… Charlie play that cornet baby Yeeeeeah Kenny hit the keys at times like these and Joe’s cracks got them falling down to their knees Now Deano’s fallen in…and it’s oh so sweeeeeet Those crazy blues, crazy rat pack baby blues All daylong and through the nightlong too Peter Sammy Frankie Joey, Dean ---brothers all Hazy, Crazy, Fun… boy, they’re having a ball Share another stogy when you’re acting like ole Bogey Then prop up your mate Deano when he’s sagging on his stool WE got the rat pack…rat pack baby blues Got the rat pack, rat pack baby blues Those crazy blues, crazy rat pack baby blues All daylong and through the nightlong too Peter Sammy Frankie Joey, Dean ---brothers all Hazy, Crazy, Fun… boy, they’re having a ball Share another stogy when you’re acting like ole Bogey Then prop up your mate Deano when he’s sagging on his stool The rat pack crazy crazy blues

Love the story! Dawn didn't know you would know about the Rat pack. LOL! Great vocals. Peo in fine form. Glad to see the two of you back at it. Really like how this one comes along. Uptempo and lots of fun. Thanks for telling me about these. Merry Christmas to all of you. Hard to believe another year is coming and going. Craziest year of my life I have to admit. LOL!
