FRANK D’ANGELO (no, no relation to you know who!) is a new name to us, but in his native Canada he a leading light in their soul and R&B scene where his own YOUTUBE channel has scored over four million hits. He also fronts a late night TV show – ‘The Being Frank Show’ – where guess have numbered Al Pacino and Tony Bennett.
Frank began his musical career in the 80s fronting a band called Toronto which peddled soul an R&B across the States and Canada. His current band is a 15 piece and his shows, we’re told, are sell-out affairs.
His latest project is the theme tune to a new movie, ‘Sicilian Vampire’ which stars James Caan, Daryl Hannah and someone called Frank D’Angelo. The song is lovely four minutes worth of retro-flavoured soul, appropriately called ‘I Want To Live Forever’. The tune sweeps along briskly allowing Frank to show off his sweet and soulful falsetto… shades of Ron Tyson!
