One of the most talented and
handsome young Lynbrookites is
sure to make Lynbrook, U.S.A.
justly proud of his career soon as
he is so unusual. Frank Scafuri is
the lad with the wonderful Lyric
Tenor Voice and Lynbrook High
School graduate referred to.
After hearing this unsurpassed
solo this past Sunday I am sure of
it.
Frank was born in Brooklyn
but moved to Lynbrook with his
parents when he was 5 years old.
His father is Frank A. Scafuri
and his mother is Concetta who
are both justly proud of their
talented and fine son. He has two
sisters, Jeanette and Marilyn and
one brother who has become his
able Manager, Anthony.
Of course, the undisputed
"Boss" of the family is a two lb.
chuiawawa who naturally ex-pects
"His" family to do what he
wants. Little dogs and big dogs
and all manner of pets can
definitely become so loved and
part of a family that they no
longer are dogs but "people
dogs" which is the personality
plus of this two pound bundle of
energy and dynamite. His breed
are noted for their intelligence
and of course he adores young
Frank.
Frank graduated from Atlantic
Ave. and Lynbrook South and
then Lynbrook High School. He
credits Mr. George Breakwell,
Musical Director of the Lynbrook
School system with giving him a
great deal of attention, personal
encouragement and training in
his younger years which have
and still continue to have a
wonderful impact on his faith in
his voice and his talent.
Upon graduating from Lyn-brook
High School he went to
work at CBS Studios as a
messenger boy hoping to meet
some producers and get the feel
of actual "show business. " Frank
just needs a lucky break such as a
chance to be heard on a national
T.V. Show or some type of movie
or play as he is a good actor as
well as excellent singer. His
Voice Teacher Jane Robbin
Longo has continued to train his
voice and encouraged him to try
out for a Scholarship at the
Juillard School of where he was
accepted and graduated this past
May. He is a Steady Soloist at
several churches and has ap-peared
with the All-American
Banjo Team and with our own
wonderful Lynbrook Chorale. He
sings with great feeling and
emotion. At one time he lad a
Band and also sang with the
group.
One of his greatest thrills was
at the Westbury Music Fair when
he was called down onto stage by
comedian' Jerry Lewis and not
only sang but broke both Jerry
and the audience up with gales of
laughter with his Jerry Lewis
impersonation. Jerry was very
nice to him and it was a thrill he
will always remember.
He is 6 ft. 1 in. tall with dark
eyes, wavy brown hair and I
simply refuse to give out his
telephone number as the poor boy
has enough trouble with an eager
female populace as it is.
This writer has seldom met
such a personable young man or
one so dicated to his career. All
he needs is a lucky break or a
chance to be in the right place at
the right time. Are any producers
listening or reading this? He is
truly greatly talented and
deserving of a chance at the will-o-
the-wisp of national success. In
the meantime we can go right on
enjoying his fine voice at the
wonderful productions of our
great Lynbrook Chorale. All the
luck in the world to young Frank
as he is something special.
