FRANK SINATRA JO DAVIDSON BUST

AS YOU KNOW, SOME THINGS DESERVE THEIR OWN PAGE. THIS PRECIOUS PIECE CERTAINLY MEETS THAT CRITERIA. JO DAVIDSON (1889-1952) WAS AN ACOMPLISHED SCULPTURE. IN 1946 (THE YEAR OF MY BIRTH, 'FIVE MINUTES MORE', BY FRANK WAS AT THE TOP OF THE CHARTS) DAVIDSON WAS COMMISSIONED TO SCULPT FRANKIE. ONLY 25 OF THESE BUST WERE PRODUCED THAT YEAR AND THEN THE MOLD WAS BROKEN. IN 1998, AT CHRYSTIES AUCTION HOUSE, IN NEW YORK, SOLD ONE OF THESE FOR $14,500.
