Music and More from Frank Stallone

We’ve just received word that Frank Stallone‘s new CD ‘Frankie & Billy’ (with the Billy May Orchestra) has been released from Simba Records!! You can listen to samples at the Official Frank Stallone Website. You can buy the CD HERE or by clicking on ‘Buy Music’ at Frank’s Official Site.

Billy May says: “Recording this album with Frank Stallone, I felt the same excitement that I got in 1958 from another ‘Frank‘ [Sinatra], or in 1953 from Nat ColeMr Stallone is a straight-ahead type of singer, always swinging and always in charge, and it was a great honor to have worked with him.”

We’ve also learned that Frank’s big band hits are now available for licensing through Moviemaker Music. [All masters were recorded with the legendary Sammy Nestico and Billy May Orchestras!]

For information about MovieMakerMusic please visit their web site or send email to info@moviemakermusic.net.

Thanks to Simon, webmaster fo Frank’s Official Site for the info ! – Craig Zablo [July 13, 2002]

The Official Frank Stallone Website

Like most Sylvester Stallone fans, I’m also a fan of Sly’s extremely talented brother, Frank.

Simon Barber, the webmaster of The Official Frank Stallone Website has just launched a new version which features video, audio, and lots of rare/private photos – many of which feature Sly. The redesign is extremely well done and user friendly. The bonus materials are an added treat!

Please take a few minutes to check it out… and tell ’em that we sent ya!

Frank Stallone Checks In

FRANK STALLONE e-mailed the SZ to thank us for the kind words that he’s been receiving from SZ fans about his newly designed site. He also wanted us to know that he’s updated it again with a ton of never before seen photos! Included are some really cool family pics, as well as photos of FRANK and some of the many celebrities that he’s worked with over the years. Click |HERE| to check it out.

FRANK also wanted us to know that he will be starring in Walker, Texas Ranger on February 10th at 9 pm PST on CBS. Appearing with FRANK will be his “big band.” In addition to his dramatic role, FRANK will also sing three songs!

FRANK also answered a question that many STALLONE fans have been wondering about for some time… Will the film “The Good Life” [FRANK starred in the movie and SLY appeared in a cameo] be released now that the lawsuits have been settled? FRANK‘s response, “I would honestly say no. We have distanced ourselves from it. for it was bad scene. Now my brother and I are closer than we ever were, so after it all that was only positive thing that came of it.”

We really appreciate FRANK taking the time from his busy schedule to send us an update. Be sure to check out his site at frankstallone.com as well as his appearance on “Walker, Texas Ranger.” The SZ will continue to provide updates from FRANK as we get them!

Stallone News for the Week

The picture above (minus the SZ tag, of course) appeared earlier in the week at DARK HORIZONS in an item about Warner Brothers’ 2001 movie line-up.

Entertainment Tonight’s website ran an item on Thursday saying that Sly and Jennifer co-hosted the opening of Downtown Disneyland in an event which benefited the Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation. Sly also announced that his next movie will be a comedy. The picture above accompanied the item.

Earlier this week I received an e-mail from Simon Barber who is the new web master of Frank Stallone’s Official Website.

If you haven’t checked out Frank’s site in a while, you really should. Frank and Simon have updated and re-designed all areas (and have added more content as well)! You can find them at FrankStallone.com (they’ve moved from the old location) or by clicking |HERE|. Be sure and tell them the SZ sent ya!
