This would be a lengthy list if you somehow could find names of all the performers who opened for Sinatra during his 7-decade career. In Vegas, he typically had comedians open the show; the best known was Joey Bishop. Pat Henry became something of a regular opening act for Sinatra in 1958, and remained so for the next 20 years. Buddy Lester was another comedian who "warmed up" the room for the Chairman of the Board. Other comics include Don Rickles, Red Buttons, Pat Cooper, John Pinnette, Charlie Callas, Pete Barbutti and Brad Garrett Another famous opening act for Sinatra was Steve Lawrence and Eydie Gorme, who opened for his notable "Diamond Anniversary Tour" in 1991.
He sometimes had musical acts open. At Royal Albert Hall, London in 1980, the opening act was Sergio Mendes and Brazil '66. Other musical acts on the bill through the years included Sam Butera, Trini Lopez, John Denver, Buddy Rich, Count Basie and even daughter Nancy.
In later years of touring comedian Tom Dreeson was the standard opening act for Sinatra.

∙ 14y agoFor most of Frank Sinatra's recordings, the Musical Instruments were played by jazz recording session men from the Los Angeles area. Some of them were former members of the Stan Kenton Band (innovative Big Band musicians). Others were members of local "West Coast jazz" combos. Perhaps the most well-known Sinatra musician is Milt Bernhart (formerly of the Stan Kenton Band), who played the famous Trombone solo on the recording, "I've Got You Under My Skin" (1956). A full listing of the musicians on Sinatra recordings can be found at the website, www.songsbysinatra.com.
