Overview

James Young, Frank Sinatra Impersonator, former Police Detective. Young has the unique sounds of both a young Sinatra at times and the more mature Frank, the other. It’s like following Sinatra’s entire career in one show. In 2016, James won the award for Best Classic Crooner at The Reel Awards in Las Vegas!! The Reel Award is the highest award for a professional celebrity impersonator.

Young makes you believe the Chairman of Board is alive and on that stage! He has captured The Chairman of the Board's voice, style, and mannerisms. Either with a Rat Pack Tribute, or stand alone, this Sinatra act is one of the finest anywhere in the world!

Great guy, easy to work with

Not only did he sound great but he was super flexible. We set up for the party outside and it started raining, so we moved everyone into the garage to hear his performance. Highly recommend!

James Young Headlined Sinatra 100 Tribute at Oak Crest

When Oak Crest retirement community in Baltimore decided to host a tribute party for Frank Sinatra's 100th birthday, we researched artists around the mid-Atlantic and had to get it right. As is turned out, we made a terrific decision in hiring James Young.

Over 280 residents attended the event, and the feedback has been very positive. James not only performed three sets of Sinatra's standards, but he also interacted with the audience throughout the evening. He made them laugh and recall their fond memories of Sinatra.

James was very easy to work with; he arrived in plenty of time for the event set-up and communicated well with our employees. He is a true professional, and I'd recommend him to any business or group that wants to have a first-class event! As one resident emailed me, "this was a special evening for Oak Crest."

Corporate Event - January 18, 2014 - Baltimore, MD

Proud to take the stage with this consummate professional, James Young, as "Frank Sinatra"!!! The client was most pleased, as the following review states:
"We had a wonderful evening with Eric Richardson as Dean Martin and James Young as Frank Sinatra. They provided entertainment for the cocktail reception and dinner portion of our corporate holiday party. We would highly recommend both of them." - Kristi Pappas

What to expect

Young has been staging Sinatra tribute shows since 2004. Like Elvis impersonators, Sinatra singers seem to be a dime-a-dozen. But Young has a way of making you almost believe that Sinatra is alive and singing right in front of you. He has captured the personality and style that made The Chairman of the Board what he was: The Best!

His repertoire includes the songs that many remember the most about "The Voice". New York, New York, My Way, That's Life, Summer Wind, Luck Be a Lady, Nice N' Easy, just to name very few.
