He was a singer and actor, he starred in alot of movies including a series with Jerry Lewis who was his comedy partner for a number of years and he also starred in the original rat pack oceans 11 movie plus the John Wayne movie Rio Bravo. He had dozens of hit records the most famous beibng Little Old Wine Drnker Me though his last big UK hit was a popular cover of the Jimmy Webb classic Gentle On My Mind ( I should write for Wiki) his son Dino formed a group in the 70s and was quite popular but can't drag the details on them from my brain at the moment

Wasn't Sammy Davis jr. the other member of the Rat Pack?

Dino Desi and Billy, wasn't it? Died young when he crashed his jet fighter

[oscarina]

He did have an unique voice, mellow and his songs are iconic! I would loved to have seen the Rat Pack perform in Vegas! My favourite was Sinatra, laid back, sexy and unforgettable classics!
