After successful performances at The Frank Sinatra “Twin Palms” Estate in Palm Springs, Vaughn was selected to sing at The Frank Sinatra Compound in Rancho Mirage–the only singer to appear there since Mr. S. left.
WHAT MAKES VAUGHN THE MOST REQUESTED SINATRA SINGER IN THE COUNTRY
Not only does Vaughn bear a striking resemblance to a young Sinatra, but he brings his own brand of humor and showmanship to every performance. This Brooklyn born performer studied acting at The New York Academy of Theatrical Arts and The Lee Strasberg Theatre Institute. While studying his craft, Vaughn developed his unique stand–up comedy act and began appearing at comedy clubs around the country. Vaughn then moved to Los Angeles and was welcomed into the improvisational comedy inner–circle as a member of “The Goundlings” and “Off The Wall”, where he worked with such notables as Phil Hartman, John Ritter and Robin Williams.
In addition to multiple “Tonight Show” appearances, “Jimmy Kimmel Show” and N.B.C.’s “Las Vegas”, Vaughn acted on many popular sitcoms, wrote for the hit series “The Golden Girls” and co–wrote several of Gallagher’s Comedy Specials for Showtime. With a strong visual and vocal resemblance to a young Frank Sinatra, when Vaughn would improvise a love song on stage, the audience would swoon and yell out, “Frankie!” Although Vaughn was making a name for himself in comedy, one night, on a dare, Vaughn entered a singing contest at a local night club…and won! The grand Prize was a singing appearance at The Hollywood Palladium. The response was overwhelming. Soon word of the “young Sinatraesque” character spread quickly and Vaughn was suddenly in demand to perform at prestigious private parties, corporate events and for such entertainment luminaries as Danny DiVito, Hugh Hefner, Jerry Vale, Ernest Borgnine and the honorable Senator Robert Dole.
