History
The Copacabana was one of New York City's most famous nightclubs, located at 10 East 60th Street, and became legendary for hosting top entertainers during the golden age of American nightlife. Frank Sinatra performed there during his career resurgence in the mid-1950s, following his Oscar win for 'From Here to Eternity' and his signing with Capitol Records. These programs were given to patrons attending shows and featured the evening's lineup, including notable performers like Joey Bishop, Pete Conlow, and Jean Stevens. Programs from Sinatra's Copacabana performances are highly sought after by collectors of entertainment memorabilia, particularly those interested in the Rat Pack era, vintage New York nightlife, and mid-century American popular culture. These ephemeral items capture a glamorous moment in entertainment history when nightclubs were the premier venues for live performance. They appeal to collectors of Frank Sinatra memorabilia, vintage advertising, and 1950s Americana for their historical and cultural significance as artifacts of American entertainment's golden age.
