Sandy Zacky, White Is The New Black

Looking Sharp For The Holidays
Sandy Zacky and Her Husband Ron Zacky

There are many traditions that kick off the Christmas Season. The lighting of the tree at Rockefeller Center, The airing of How The Grinch Stole Christmas and Black Friday, to single out a few.

Entertain Me's Christmas tradition is to always trot out it's resident diva, Sandy with a "Y" not "E" Zacky and her resplendent cover of the Irving Berlin chestnut White Christmas.

Sandy has been a busy chanteuse this year. Our Christmas wish is we receive the gift of new music from her in 2017!

Bundle up peeps, it's cold outside...jump to Sandy singing WC below & go white!

Spellbound, Sandy Zacky

Sandy With A "Y" Not "E"

"Those fingers in my hair, That sly come hither stare, That strips my conscience bare...It's witchcraft" - Witchcraft

Entertain Me's resident diva, one Ms. Sandy Zacky had been gone a spell. But as usual every October we love to let her put a spell on all of you with her masterful rendition of the classic song Witchcraft, not to be confused with Warcraft. 

It's the time of the year to twitch your nose and strike a pose. Let loose some of that Mojo and let yourself go into the land of pure imagination.

What better transportation than some old black magic with the coolest, jazziest witch around Sandy with a "Y" not "E" Zacky.

Are you ready listen closely and believe in magic!

Sandy Zacky On Orlando #WeAreOrlando

With the tragedy in Orlando still lingering. I held off on addressing it initially because I wanted to process my own thoughts and feelings. Everyone is still reacting as well they should, it was the biggest mass shooting in the United States ever.

People should be concerned, not just gay people. This is something we must pay attention and attend to. It can and most likely will happen again at a place and time you would least expect. 

As a gay man of course I am upset. However it hit me in a more general way, I think about the potential of such an incident in the many familiar places I travel throughout my day. Let's face it no where and no one is safe.

What I wanted to do was give a different point of view on this, perhaps not even mine but something that could add to the dialogue. Here is a fresh prospective. This is from a grandmother who worries about the country and what the future of it holds for her grandchildren. Her name is Sandy Zacky, you may remember her as Entertain Me's resident chanteuse. She wrote this powerful statement the morning of the shooting on her Facebook page:

"I am sure what is on my mind is what is on most people's mind.
I feel sick, angry,helpless and more. 

What now? It is my grandchildren and their generation that I fear for the most. 

What are we we leaving them? A sick world of people whose only quest is to kill those who don't believe as they do. They think we are immoral but who is more immoral than those who MURDER innocents who just want to live
their lives the way they choose?

Those of you who are that sick may murder but you will not take the US down. You are the cowards we will be the survivors!"

Perfectly stated Sandy. Here is a song she performed with her singing partner Mike Clifford dedicated to the victims and survivors of the tragedy, Love Is Everything -

With congress recently turning a blind eye to the problem at hand, something needs to be done...now, before a tragedy like this can happen again.

"I'm dreaming of a white Christmas / Just like the ones I used to know / Where the treetops glisten and children listen / To hear sleigh bells in the snow" - White Christmas

Happy 53rd Sandy Zacky!

Sandy & Ron
53 Years!

Today is resident Entertain Me chanteuse Sandy with a "Y" not "E" Zacky's 53rd Wedding Anniversary to her husband Ron, Zacky of course.

No they didn't move to the Hills of Beverly, but they did land in the Hills of Sherman Oaks, CA. 

53 years of being married and still in love. How many people in Hollywood do you know can say that?! 

So here is a song by one of my most awesome friends to celebrate the day. It's titled: You'd Be So Nice To Come Home To originally sung by Frank Sinatra from her jazz hot CD, One Olive Or Two. 

Think of it as the day before Thanksgiving celebration of love!

Happy Hump Day before TG, woot!

Sandy Zacky "Witchy Woman"

I Put A Spell On You
Sandy Zacky

'Cause it's witchcraft, wicked witchcraft, And although, I know, it's strictly taboo".... - Witchcraft

Everyone needs a resident chanteuse. Sandy Zacky is it, here on Entertain Me. Every Halloween we celebrate her rendition of the classic chestnut Witchcraft.

Passed through many singers throughout the years, most notably one of the masters, Frank Sinatra.

While she is not a master, Sandy is a maestra, the feminine version of master, of Witchcraft. 

I have seen Sandy with a "Y" not "E" perform this song and many others, live over the years.

Guess what peeps she is getting ready to go live, and record again in 2016!

What a treat!

Paint A Rumer

Nothing Unfortunate Here: Val Chmerkovskiy & Rumer Willis 

Although I do not watch Dancing With The Stars on a regular basis I did happen to catch the Disney themed dance off.

Rumer Willis, daughter of Bruce Willis & Demi Moore, stole the show as Ursula the Sea Witch from The Little Mermaid. Her and her partner Val Chmerkovskiy did a red hot Samba to the song Poor Unfortunate Souls.

Avid DWTS watcher and Entertain Me chanteuse Sandy Zacky had this to say about Ms. Willis:

"I knew very little about this girl except the obvious. Never gave her much thought really but she changed my mind the day she explained how difficult it was reading very negative things about herself as a young child and later a young woman. Shallow idiots talking about her looks and not in a positive way and how she overcame the hurt that it caused her.

I fell in like with this young woman and then her dancing,wow!!!! 

Great dancer. A natural really. She shows grace and talent. Beautiful dancer !

She is a beautiful person and I think she is stunning!"

Sandy Zacky "I Wish You Love"

50 Plus Years Of Marriage: Sandy & Her Husband Ron Taken On Her Birthday This Year

"I wish you bluebirds in the spring, to give your heart a song to sing,
And then a kiss, but more than this, i wish you love" - I Wish You Love

Nothing says love like a fifty plus year marriage and that's what Entertain Me's resident chanteuse Sandy with a "Y" not "E" Zacky has.

In 2007 Sandy with her singing partner Mike Clifford recorded an album Love is Everything. A compilation of songs about what else? Love! Including a duet by herself & Clifford on the title track and a solo rendition by Ms. Z of I Wish You Love.

Sandy has this to say to all of you on this Valentine's Day: "Whatever your plans and wherever you are I wish you all love, health and happiness, Happy Valentine's Day, Love Sandy." 

Thanks Sandy, back at ya!

Stay "White" With Sandy Zacky

"I'm dreaming of a white Christmas, with every Christmas card I write
May your days be merry and bright, and may all your Christmases be white" - "White Christmas" Irving Berlin 

OK, it's December 1st and Thanksgiving is over. Time to turn and face the reality that Christmas is only twenty four quick days away.

Well every year at Entertain Me we kick off the month of giving with our resident chanteuse Sandy with a "Y" not "E" Zacky and her beautiful rendition of White Christmas.

I actually saw her perform this live at her show at Cal State Northridge, CSUN for short in 2008 around coincidentally enough, Christmas time...

Sandy knocked them dead with her show and made everyone in the house sentimental and all warm and fuzzy with her special interpretation of this Holiday classic.

Deck those halls and hang those balls Christmas will be here before you know it people! 

Sandy singing White Christmas is a great kick off for the countdown to C-day. Sleigh it girl!

Sandy Zacky Puts A Spell On You

Sandy Zacky Is Magic!

It's time to get your witch on! Thus it must be Halloween, Yay! This is the time of year we turn and face the strange with open arms. It's also when our thoughts turn to music along the lines of Michael Jackson's Thriller & Bobby Pickett's Monster Mash.

Every year on Entertain Me we celebrate with the song Witchcraft covered by it's resident chanteuse Sandy with a "Y" not "E" Zacky.

Originally recorded by Frank Sinatra, Ms. Zacky's rendition is flawless and her vocals are on par with old blues eyes crooning.

Check out our one one one chat we had a few years back here on EM.

Sandy Zacky Wishes You A Happy Valentine's Day

It's that time of year again, Valentine's Day - and for this day I always call on resident chanteuse Sandy with a "Y" not "E" Zacky as she knows something about love, her marriage is going on fifty-two years!

So I asked Ms. Z to name a couple of love songs she was especially fond of to celebrate today, here is what she had to say:

First of all I don't  know if I have mentioned it before, but "Love Is Everything", from my CD with Mike Clifford is such a beautiful love song. He and I were discussing that just the other day. It is still doing, great on "Show Me Talk Radio."  Donna Linn put it up last Valentine's day and it was a listener favorite for months. 

Also "The Nearness of You"  and a song that goes back to when I was a kid from the Eddie Duchin Story, "You're My Everything."

Sandy Zacky & Mike Clifford

There is nothing in recent generations that stands out to me. There may be great ones but nothing comes to mind...Happy Valentine's Day Everyone!

Hey Sandy thanks for stopping by, Happy Valentine's Day to you and Ron and to everyone out there!

Sandy Sings "White Christmas" @ CSUN

David Letterman has Darlene Love, Rockefeller Center and now The Grove in Los Angeles has it's tree lighting...here at "Entertain Me" we kick off Christmas with our resident Chanteuse, Sandy Zacky.

I had the honor of seeing Sandy with a "Y" not "E" sing "White Christmas" live at her one night only CSUN performance in 2009...she was amazing!

Thus she is my Christmas tradition. So without further adieu on this December 1st 2013 the Christmas Season begins with Sandy with a "Y"

As this review of Ms. Z states:

 ...Zacky is a cross between Rosemary Clooney and Ella Fitzgerald. She is a truly great singer with consummate phrasing...

Chanteuse Sandy Zacky Speaks Out About Parkinson's

Sandy Zacky

Resident "Entertain Me" Chanteuse, Sandy Zacky recently spoke out about the ravages of Parkinson's when the news about Linda Ronstadt broke out. Linda was one of Sandy's favorite artists -

That being said Sandy also has a lot of first hand experience with Parkinson's, her husband, Ron has it as well.

She speaks so eloquently about Linda losing her the gift of her singing voice as well as about her husband Ron losing his speaking voice to his horrible disease that I found it worth re-posting.

Our voice, whether it be singing or speaking is the most important thing we have as human beings while we are alive. Either of them is a terrible thing to lose. Here is a re-print of Ms. Zacky's statement:

"Just heard about Linda Ronstadt, one of the finest singers in my estimation,ever. She can sing all genres so well. I just heard her the other day on Sirrius radio singing some songs from The American Songbook. It was beautifully done, I was totally impressed with her interpretation and vocals.

                                                Linda Ronstadt "Blue Bayou"

My husband has suffered from Parkinson's disease for several years now. It is a terrible disease that robs an individual of so much but most of all the essence of who they have always been. My husbands voice has weakened greatly over the years. Just his ability to converse can be difficult for him at times. I can only imagine as a singer how awful it must be to not be able to share the extraordinary gift that she had so long shared with those of us who so enjoyed her music.

My best to her and I pray she finds some joy in the love that is sent her way from her devoted fans"

Sandy & Her Husband Ron

Very well put Ms. Z.

Sandy Zacky "Love Is Everything"

Sandy & Her Husband Ron

Happy Valentine's Day Everyone ! On this day of love I thought I would check in with "Entertain Me"s favorite Chanteuse Sandy with a "Y" not "E" Zacky.

Sandy has been a busy performer with a Birthday Tribute of her music on "Oldies Your Way" with Bud Francis www.oldiesyourway.com . 

Also not one but two programs on Donna Linn's "Show Me Talk Radio" one called "Sandy Zacky Radio" www.showmetalkradio.com .

The other for the lover of life & people that Ms. Z is a Valentine's Day Gift "Love Is Everything - A Valentine's Day Special" with her singing partner Mike Clifford www,showmetalkradio.com/jukebox.php .

Ms. Zacky recently celebrated her 50th, yes that's right, her 50th Wedding Anniversary with her husband Ron. So who better to wish you all a Happy Day Of Love than Sandy with a "Y" -

Here with  Valentine's Day wishes for everyone is Ms. Sandy Zacky...!

1) I wish everyone love. All kinds of love. Partners,kids,friends,pets heroes, anyone that brightens ones life and makes them smile on this day or any day.

2) Sharing with one who may not have someone in their life to make them feel special. Call them, send a card, an e-mail, whatever lets them know you are thinking about them.

3) Complement someone. Someone you know, or better yet, someone you don't.

4) Smile at everyone you see that day. Even though they may not return the smile somewhere in their heart they're feeling it. 

5) Don't forget to call a loved one you may not have spoken to in awhile. It will make both of you feel good. Somehow we forget the ones we should never forget. 

6) Also,I don't care what anyone says, a box of chocolates,preferably See's, because all others, Godiva, or whatever is "the" chocolate of the day may be, nothing beats SEE'S,(even though I can't eat candy).

Bring on the See's! with Sandy at:
