On December 3rd, 1990, the Society Of Singers honored Frank Sinatra on his 60th year in the entertainment industry with the Ella Award, which was established the year prior. The show consisted of many friends of Frank’s coming out to perform for him. Among the guests were George Burns, Tony Danza, Tony Bennett, Henry Mancini conducting the orchestra, Peggy Lee, and, of course, the award’s namesake, Lady Ella Fitzgerald. After singing a song for Frank, he joined her on stage to receive the award and, after saying his thanks, he and Ella did a spur-of-the-moment performance of The Lady Is A Tramp. Here’s the historic clip, which might showcase the last time these two legends performed together.
