Love List: The Rat Pack by The Tap Pack
Thomas J. Egan and Jordan Pollard, co-creators of The Tap Pack, dipped into the musical genius of iconic cool cats The Rat Pack. Thomas and Jordan have a love for Rat Pack swing music, but their admiration extends to various funk, jazz and soul tunes that have inspired them along the way. We hope you enjoy their top shelf selections.
“As soon as he hits the first word, the crowd are with him. Frank Sinatra had a way with telling the story and his style is incomparable. I love this song and what it evokes and it has the best horn lines in the instrumental bit. Absolute Class.”
“As a young kid I had a singing teacher that was a jazz musician. He gave me many CDs with his favourite singers on them and I developed a taste for Sammy Davis Jr. There was a Greatest Hits album that had this tune on it and I wore the CD down to dust. The lyrics of this song make me think of a smokey, down-lit, wandering performer with his hat worn low, dancing carelessly out on the street. An image that fits with The Tap Pack vibe perfectly.”
