Though not a musician, Joey Bishop's association with Sinatra, Martin, and Davis makes him a suitable subject for a music-oriented board. Especially since his passing marks the end of the group known as The Rat Pack. (A name copied in the 80s by a group who were called "The Brat Pack".)
Bishop ... felt he was more the mascot of the Pack than a full-fledged member. A 2002 biography of him by Michael Seth Starr was titled "Mouse in the Rat Pack." (Does that make him a relative of mine?)
RIP, Mr Gottlieb.
The last of The Rat Pack has left us.

The last of The Rat Pack has left us.
Lord, you have filled my cup so full,
How can I fear tomorrow?
How can I fear tomorrow?
I will admit that I...
...don't know much about Joey Bishop but it's very sad and brings in the end of an era.
I'm not going to let my history pull me down and hold me back, you see.

I was very sad to see it, Papa. He was such a funny man but very sweet also. It's the end of an era! I was also sad to see Deborah Kerr pass away. She was so beautiful and such a fine actress. Both will be missed!
I'm not bad. I'm just drawn that way!
