A Tribute To The Rat Pack- Starring- William Cintron, Dezhon Fields and Ray Livosi
Prepare to experience the best The Rat Pack tribute show you’ve ever seen, A TRIBUTE TO THE RAT PACK, starring William Cintron Dezhon Fields and Ray Livosi – and featuring the hit songs “That’s Amore,” “I Get A Kick Out of You,” “My Funny Valentine” and more!
Ray Livosi as Frank Sinatra
“It’s unbelievable, I thought I was listening to Frank himself.” -Howie Richmond
You will feel “Frank” in the house when Ray Livosi performs his incredible tribute, recreating the voice, mannerisms and big band sounds of Frank Sinatra. Livosi channels Ol’ Blue Eyes at his peak by incorporating songs from Sinatra’s legendary performance at Madison Square Garden.
Acclaimed for his act(s) in Las Vegas and Atlantic City, Livosi offers fans the chance to see “The Chairman of the Board” perform timeless classic such as “Fly Me to the Moon,” “That’s Life,” “My Way,” and “New York, New York.”
Howie Richmond, who published “Fly Me to the Moon,” said of Livosi, “It’s unbelievable, I thought I was listening to Frank himself.”
Dezhon Fields as Sammy Davis Jr.
“Fields is a dead-ringer for Sammy Davis, and when he hits those high notes in ‘What Kind of Fool Am I’, you’d swear the famous song and dance man was back.” -The Windsor Star
Dezhon Fields is an accomplished singer, actor and dancer with more than 18 years of entertainment experience. Dezhon began singing and dancing in school and church at the age of 10. He has since gone on to perform in theatre productions worldwide, beginning with a Tony Award-winning play called CINDERELLA BROWN, where he was a principle dancer in Long Beach, CA. Dezhon is a former ballroom/salsa instructor and trained for several years under the instruction of the National Ballroom/Salsa Champion, Sonya Cortes, in Los Angeles, California.
Having been told he looked like Sammy Davis Jr. most of his life, Dezhon decided to research the great entertainer. After reading the book “Why Not Me” in 2002, Dezhon realized that he identified with Sammy Davis’ style, as well as his passion for entertainment and outlook on life; this is what inspired Dezhon’s passion, and like Sammy, he has danced, sang, and acted his way into people’s hearts.
Dezhon has performed in Las Vegas where he is a member of “Legends in Concert” and has performed throughout the United States, Canada and Ireland. In 2012 and 2013, Dezhon completed a double run at the WestCoast Black Theatre Troupe in Sarasota, FL, starring in the production, SAMMY TONIGHT, a show he wrote and co-produced with Nate Jacobs. As he performed to sold out audiences, one critic said, “Dazzling with talent and bedazzled with Davis’ signature diamonds, Fields casts a magnificent glow as star of the show.”
In April 2016, Dezhon received a gracious invitation from Producers, Judi Mark and Mercedes Ellington (Granddaughter of Duke Ellington), to perform in a production called “TRIPLE THREATS” a Tribute to Duke Ellington, Ella Fitzgerald and Tito Puente, which was performed at the Friars Club in Manhattan, NY. And, in April 2018, Dezhon worked with Broadway & Off-Broadway Producer/Director, Herman LeVern Jones, adapting a sound score for the play, A CLASS ACT, also performing all vocals throughout the production.
William Cintron as Dean Martin
William Cintron is best known for impersonating the superb vocals of Frankie Valli, Dean Martin, Englebert Humperdinck, and The Stylistics.
Cintron originally hails from Brooklyn, NY, and has performed throughout New York City, and Florida (currently performing throughout Central Florida, South Florida, and Southwest Florida). He went on to perform at the Apollo Theatre, winning Amateur Night first place three times. He has performed with bands such as Legend, Sweet Touch, Rhapsody, and Bodacious. William now has his own Frankie Valli Tribute Band called “Sounds of the Seasons” for that authentic Frankie Valli and The Four Seasons sound.
Cintron has also performed and shared the same stage with The Platters, The Temptations, The Delfonics, Chubby Tavares of The Tavares, Larry Chance and the Earls, The New Supremes, The Marcels, The Diamonds, The Coasters, The Drifters, The Mystics, J.T. Carter of The Crests, Eddie Holman, Peter Lemongello, Jimmy Gallagher of The Passions, The Main Ingredient featuring Cuba Gooding Sr., and Ken Brady and The Casinos.
Past performances include The World Famous Apollo Theatre, The Four Century Villages of South Florida, The Villages of Lady Lake, Disney’s Contemporary Resort and Epcot Center, and Universal Studios City Jazz and Motown Cafe.
Cintron sings all the greats such as Al Jolson, Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Tony Bennett, Englebert Humperdinck, Tom Jones, and even Elvis. From Frankie Valli, The Platters, Temptations, to The Stylistics and Smokey Robinson, he can hit just about any range.

***** Charlie’s Mini Donuts & Coffee, 1023 East County Road 540A, Lakeland, Florida 33813, (863) 500-1414.
Got a real good donut joint for you guys to checkout, Charlie’s Mini Donuts & Coffee in Lakeland.
Simple tale to tell, something like 16 different mini cake donuts/coffe/tea menu, order at-pickup at counter, handful of inside tables.
Earlier this morning, Jeff Eats and Mrs. Jeff Eats “discovered” Charlie’s Mini Donuts & Coffee and I gotta tell you that the freshly baked cake donuts were just what the doctor ordered. For you guys who right about now maybe wondering “Hey Jeff, what the hell were you and Mrs. Jeff Eats doing up in Lakeland-on the Monday morning following the long Thanksgiving Day Weekend?” Not that it’s any of your business- but Jeff Eats had an early business meeting with Publix’s CEO Todd Jones at Publix’s corporate headquarters at Publix’s Corporate Office, 3300 Publix Corporate Parkway, Lakeland, Florida 33811.
Anyway, like I said three seconds ago, the mini cake donuts were exactly what the doctor ordered, that’s assuming you’re into cake donuts, which Jeff Eats and Mrs. Jeff Eats happen to really enjoy with our morning hot coffee. Just so you guys and Jeff Eats are straight with each other, if you’re not into cake donuts, Charlie’s Mini Donuts and Coffee is probably not gonna work for you- because there isn’t a yeast-raised donut insight!
Let me wrap Charie’s Mini Donuts & Coffee by saying that the joint is open Tuesday-Thursday 7am-8pm/ Friday-Saturday 7am-9pm/ Sunday 7am-3:30pm/ closed Monday, that you can check menu/prices/info at charlies-mini-donuts-coffee.business.site and that Charlie’s Mini Donuts & Coffee’s- Snickers Mini Donut is worth the price of admission alone!

***** Bagel Twins, 5130 Linton Boulevard, Delray Beach 33484 (561) 499-1925.
The guy who owns Bagel Twins is a smart guy.
A few years ago, when Bagel Twins was getting ready to open in a shopping center directly across the street from Poppie’s Restaurant & Delicatessen (see review-7/11/08) literally a Delray landmark… I remember commenting to a group of people that, Bagel Twins a bagel-deli joint would have no chance against Poppie’s and would die a fast death…Well low and behold, it’s now years later and Bagel Twins not only survived, but is one of the most popular bagel-deli joints in the area.
Since it opened, I have eaten at Bagel Twins at least 5 times…it does both breakfast and lunch. The joint does an enormous eat-in and take-out business. Its stuff is real good.
Just so you know, Bagel Twins is located in a shopping center which is right next to Delray Medical Center (Delray Hospital)…I got a sneaking suspicion that many of the doctors/ nurses/ workers employed by the hospital/or have offices in the shopping center and their patients are “supporting” Bagel Twins. I never figured, that crossing a little street named Military Trail (that’s what separates Bagel Twins and Poppies) was such a big deal, but I guess that it was/is.
Give Bagel Twins a try…the guy who owns it, makes some good stuff and is real smart.
