In 1974, Australian concert producer Robert Raymond got the gig of his life – organising the comeback tour of his musical idol, Frank Sinatra. The anticipation in Australia was huge and the tour sold out immediately. But when his opening night performance caused a scandal, Sinatra found himself caught in a stand-off… and Robert Raymond had the biggest test of his career – how to get Sinatra back on stage? This programme was first broadcast on 23rd of December 2018. Get in touch: [email protected] Presenter: Emily Webb Producer: Maryam Maruf Image: Frank Sinatra Credit: Jay Dickman/CORBIS/Getty Images
