The Fifties

The war years were lean times for Frank Sinatra and he was glad to get work doing a guest spot with Jones. Once his fame grew, Sinatra repaid his debt to Spike by inviting him onto his show in 1958. "The Perry Como Show" had him as a guest in 1956, and Jack Benny in the same year. Also in 1956, Jones released his first LP, Dinner Music For People Who Aren't Very Hungry. By 1959 his act seemed old-fashioned and work dried up. Spike Jones died in Beverly Hills on 1st May 1965. He is buried in Holy Cross Cemetery in Culver City, California.
