Benny Goodman and Frank Sinatra “Switch” Instruments
No news caption is attached to explain this 1943 publicity photograph of bandleader Benny Goodman “singing” and crooner Frank Sinatra “playing” the clarinet.For an additional touch of authenticity, Sinatra dons Goodman’s glasses.
We can only leave it to the imagination as to the circumstances behind this amusing photo. If you think you know the occasion, drop us a line.
Just one of those wacky publicity photos that someone thought was funny. “Hey look, Benny’s making like Frankie!”
I wonder how Benny was as a singer?
