When I was five, I could operate the bulky, clumsy Magnavox console that occupied a corner of our living room. By seven, I knew what I wanted to hear: Ella at Birdland, Sinatra's 45 of "Chicago," with "Witchcraft" as the flip, Sammy Davis when he was still Junior, Sinatra's Christmas Album (only recently replaced in stereo), the two double albums of Ella Fitzgerald with Duke Ellington, with emphasis on "Satin Doll," and "A Train."

He has an original crooning style that is notable for its freedom from the Sinatra mannerisms that have intimidated a generation of pop balladeers. Gordon Jenkins' luxurious string-and-wind arrangements lend added gilt...
Divorced. Zeppo Marx, 72, the youngest Marx Brother (real name: Herbert), who quit the madcap vaudeville and movie team in 1934 to become an actors' agent; and Barbara Marx, fortyish, former model and current golfing and tennis pal of Frank Sinatra and Vice President Spiro Agnew; after 14 years of marriage, no children; in Palm Springs, Calif...
