The timeless music of Frank Sinatra filled the Sandel Senior Center in Rockville Centre on July 24, as tribute singer Jesse Posa brought the legendary performer’s signature style, charm and swing to a room filled with music lovers.
Singing into an old-style microphone, Posa entertained the audience with a collection of Sinatra favorites spanning the performer’s decades-long career, including “Come Fly With Me,” “All of Me,” “I’ve Got You Under My Skin,” “Fly Me to the Moon,” “That’s Life,” “You Make Me Feel So Young,” “Witchcraft,” “Love Is Here to Stay,” “Beyond the Sea,” “My Way” and “New York, New York.”
Known for his ability to capture Sinatra’s voice, appearance and stage presence, Posa has become one of the country’s leading Frank Sinatra impersonators. His performances have taken him to some of the most recognizable entertainment venues, including Radio City Music Hall, where he appeared as “Frank Sinatra,” as well as the off-Broadway production “Sinatra and Friends” and “Party with The Rat Pack” at BB King’s in Times Square.
A graduate of the Tisch School of the Arts at New York University, Posa studied acting at the Lee Strasberg Institute and has built a career combining his theatrical training with his passion for classic entertainment. He also appeared in Phillip Carlo’s off-Broadway production of “East of Evil,” which starred Frank Vincent and Tony Sirico of “The Sopranos.”
Posa’s performances have brought Sinatra’s music to audiences at corporate events, private celebrations and stages across New York, New Jersey, Connecticut and Pennsylvania. He recently traveled to Dubai in the United Arab Emirates to perform at a surprise 80th birthday celebration, continuing to share the music and legacy of one of America’s most beloved entertainers with audiences of all ages.
