They don’t mean it literally, but their experience at clubs was less than pleasant. Unfortu- nately for Frank Jr., it was literal. He passed away on March 16th on tour in Daytona Beach, FL, at age 72. Frank’s sister Nancy shared the news with a Facebook post, saying, “Sleep warm, Frankie.” One of his last concerts was on December 12th [the centennial of his father’s birth] in Beverly Hills.
