Stars on Frankie

The Stars on Frankie album featured vocals by Peter Douglas who in 1987 he had won Soundmixshow (the original Dutch format of the 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 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.

A fifth and final studio album called The Club Hits uses 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 70's, 80's, and 90's was recorded in 1997 and released by Bunny Music in the Netherlands in 1998 and Demon Music Group's sublabel Music Club International in the UK in 2000 to moderate commercial success.
