Joey Bishop, the last surviving member of the Rat Pack, is dead. The Rat Pack was popular before my time, but each of the members remained popular among my parent's generation, and some of my earliest memories of television are tied to Dean Martin, Frank, Sinatra, Sammy Davis Jr., and Joey Bishop. (Not so much for Peter Lawford.) When I heard about Joey Bishop's death, I decided to stroll down memory lane with YouTube and found this commercial for Hai Karate, which was the Axe of its day ...
My older brother had some Hai Karate, and it may have been my first aftershave, though it did not have the same effect off camera.
By the way, would you recognize Joey Bishop's male sidekick without the prompt at the beginning of the video? If you wouldn't recognize his face, you surely would recognize his distinctive voice.
