Karen Morris, producer, writer, and founder of The Rat Pack Music Alliance (RPMA), which honors the music of Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, and Sammy Davis Jr., has announced a variety of original articles, videos, and entertainment projects to be added to the RPMA website.

This summer and throughout the fall/winter season, the RPMA site will include more upbeat and engaging tribute articles about versatile, talented vocalists and endearing film stars, including artists: Seth MacFarlane; Audrey Hepburn; Peggy Lee; and Sammy Davis, Jr., as well as a remembrance of a TV Christmas Show with Dean Martin and Frank Sinatra, and an exclusive interview with a feature film producer who visited Frank Sinatra’s recording sessions during his swingin’ era.

In addition to her exclusive writing assignments for The Dean Martin Association, Ms. Morris began narrating one-minute videos about the history of classic Sinatra and Rat Pack songs for The Rat Pack Music Alliance YouTube Channel.

Moonlight in Vermont and Summer Wind short videos have been posted, with more coming soon.

Looking forward, a special Holiday/Sinatra-inspired New Jersey event is being planned by Ms. Morris, to be held on Saturday, December 6th, featuring esteemed Sinatraphiles as guest speakers, with live music. The film High Society, starring Frank Sinatra, Bing Crosby and Grace Kelly, will be explored and discussed, including a celebration of Frank Sinatra’s birthday and a kickoff to the Christmas season.
