Light-Up Time (1949-50)

Media critic John Crosby called the teaming of Sinatra and opera singer Dorothy Kirsten “what seems at first, or even second, blush to be the most unlikely combinations of singers on the air.” The two singers co-starred in Sinatra’s Light-Up Time, the title of which came from an advertising slogan for sponsor Lucky Strike cigarettes. The slogan: “Light up a Lucky — it’s light-up time.” Jeff Alexander led the orchestra, and Don Wilson was the announcer. The program debuted September 5, 1949 and ended June 2, 1950. In March 1950, film commitments prevented Alexander from continuing on the program, and Skitch Henderson became the program’s orchestra leader.

Overall, Crosby called the show “a very brief, very pleasant 15 minutes around cocktail time with old and new numbers about evenly mixed. Mr. Sinatra usually sings two numbers, Miss Kirsten one, and then they team up in a duet.”

Songs by Sinatra (1945-47)

Sinatra went back on the air on CBS September 12, 1945, at 9 p.m. Eastern Time. The 30-minute program had what a trade publication called “a flexible production format which will be changed each week as events, material or talent demand.” The cast included Bill Goodwin as “featured comedian.” Sponsored by Old Gold cigarettes, the program also featured The Pied Pipers, Axel Stordahl and his orchestra, and, in the latter part of its run, Jane Powell. Marvin Miller was the announcer “and sometimes took part in skits.” Guests such as Margaret Whiting, Tommy Dorsey, and Andre Previn were featured each week. Mann Holiner was the director and producer, succeeded in December 1946 by Ted Sherdeman.

The theme song was Night and Day, which Sinatra had sung in the 1943 movie Reveille with Beverly^. The program apparently was especially popular with women. The Hooper ratings survey of radio programs’ audiences (released September 30, 1946) showed that Songs by Sinatra “had the largest number of women listeners per listening set … with 1.43.”

As was true of most programs of that era, Songs by Sinatra was not broadcast in the summer. Its replacement (beginning June 12, 1946) was The Sad Sack, an adaptation of a popular wartime comic strip, which ran June 12, 1946^. September 4, 1946.

On April 23, 1947, P. Lorillard & Co., manufacturer of Old Gold cigarettes, announced that it would not renew its option on the program, concluding the program’s run as it ended its second year.

To Be Perfectly Frank (1953)

Sinatra was both a singer and a disk jockey in this program on NBC. Beginning November 3, 1953, the 15-minute show ran on Tuesday and Friday nights. A review in a trade publication noted: “His record selections indicated that he has retained good taste in pop music. His live songs, without the help of polished orchestration … were still easy enough to listen to.” His comments between musical segments, however, were described as “stilted monologue too contrived and superficial to describe.”

Gordon Auchincloss was the program’s producer and director; Bob Smith was the writer.
