Plot: Frank Sinatra plays Joe E. Lewis, a famous comedian of the 1930s-50s. When the movie opens, Lewis is a young, talented singer who performs in speakeasies. When he bolts one job for another, the mob boss who owns the first speakeasy has his thugs try to kill Lewis. Lewis survives, but his vocal cords are cut and he cannot sing. Several years later, his buddy tracks him down and tries to help him with little success. That attempt, though, leads to Lewis meeting Letty Page (Jeanne Crain). They fall in love and she inspires him to follow up on an offer to become a comedian (a result of his buddy's failed attempt to rejuvenate his singing career). Lewis has problems, though. The assault that nearly cost him his life also helped turn him into an alcoholic and an inveterate gambler. These two character defects become the basis for his act and help to make him a smash success. Unfortunately, they also work to wreak havoc in his personal life.

What can you really say about this brother. This is a man that brings back the raw, and gritty soulful vibe (reminiscent of Bobby Womack, Bill Withers, Al Green, among others) that is missing in a lot of R&B; out today. This is from the 2005 cd entitled, "Soulife", in which the label, with the same name, highlighted some of Anthony Hamilton's earlier tracks during his stint there. This is "Georgie Parker", one of my favorite songs on that album. Enjoy!!!!!

There used to be a little old boy
Riding my bus home from school, yea
Introverted, kinda frail, didn't think much of himself, no
He used to see the pity, his mother's drunken boyfriend
Hanging out by the corner store
There was a very old lady
That used to call him baby
And in his mind this is what he heard
Georgie Parker, get away, Georgie Parker, come with me
Georgie Parker, free your mind, Georgie Parker, let yourself be
Georgie Parker, come with me, Georgie Parker, ooh
Georgie Parker, George
Trying to be his only friend
He wasn't open to strangers then, oh no
He turned his head and walked away
As he turned around and started to cry, why me?
Stuck in the lion's den, to scared to let help in
He had to make a sacrifice, he tried to cope with it
And couldn't find the strength
Can anybody tell me what Georgie did?
Georgie Parker, get away, Georgie Parker, come with me
Georgie Parker, free your mind, Georgie Parker, let yourself be
Georgie Parker, come with me, Georgie Parker, ooh
Georgie Parker, George
They'll be a better place for you and me
Free your mind, get away, follow me
Follow me, to a place
Free your mind, let's go to, to a place
Where you can be free, oh Georgie
Free your mind, let yourself go the rest will follow
