Stars on Frankie
''Stars on Frankie'' was the fourth and final album by the Dutch soundalike studio group Stars on 45, released on the CNR Records label in The Netherlands in 1987. The album was the first proper Stars on 45 project since ''The Superstars'', released some five years earlier, during which time producer Jaap Eggermont had recorded three albums with spin-off group The Star Sisters.
''Stars on Frankie'' featured vocals by Peter Douglas who in 1987 had won ''The Supermixshow'' (the original Dutch format of TV show ''Stars in Their Eyes'') with his impersonation of Frank Sinatra. While the album revived the Stars on 45 formula of stringing together the recreated songs with an original chorus written by Eggermont and musical arranger Martin Duiser it was not set to a disco beat but had arrangements fairly true to Sinatra's original recordings, featuring a jazz ensemble with live strings and brass. The title track single "Stars on Frankie" became another Top 20 hit in the Netherlands, reaching #16 on the chart, and the album itself was also a modest commercial success, peaking at #59 and was also released in the rest of Continental Europe, Scandinavia and Japan. Douglas has since had a successful career in music, not just by interpreting Sinatra's repertoire but as a prominent jazz singer in his own right, singing both standards and evergreens as well as original material, releasing a series of albums under his own name and touring in both Europe and the United States.
''Stars on Frankie'' was the final Stars on 45 project to be produced by Jaap Eggermont, the creator of the original concept. A fifth studio album called ''The Club Hits'' using both the Stars on 45 name, the original logo on the album cover as well as a re-recording of Eggermont and Duiser's "Stars On 45 Theme" together with medleys of dance hits from the 70s, 80s and 90s was recorded in 1997 and released by EMI's sublabel Music Club International in Continental Europe to moderate commercial success. Neither Eggermont himself nor any of the original Stars on 45 musicians and singers were involved in the ''Stars on 45 - The Club Hits'' project.
''Stars on Frankie'' is to date the only original Stars on 45 studio album to have been released to CD. The 12" version from "Stars On Frankie" however has not been released on CD.
