Photo Coverage: The Frank Sinatra Lifetime Achievement Award Presented to Marilyn Maye by Friars Club at 54 Below
It was the 7th performance of Marilyn's 8 show sold out run of "Her Way" A Salute to Frank Sinatra. The dynamics of the evening made it feel more like a Hockey Play Off Game, with Marilyn scoring goal after goal. The crowd rose to it's feet and cheered after her every song hit the mark of musical perfection. Then, as it became apparent that Marilyn Maye had conquered all, she was presented with the Stanley Cup. Friars Club Dean Emeritus Freddie Roman was led to the stage by Friar Laura Slutsky and "Marvelous Marilyn" was given the Friars Club Frank Sinatra Lifetime Achievement Award. The award states:
"In recognition of her invaluable contribution to music and entertainment. From belting to crooning she is the premiere cabaret artist of our time. Her sultry vocals transport us to a place where time stands still. From ballads to jazz her inimitable style makes her a dynamic force in an industry where talent rules...and this gal rules."
