Frank King’s lecture - “With Love From France” - will feature the surprising stories behind several American hit records that began their life as French songs, including Frank Sinatra’s “My Way”; Bobby Darin’s “Beyond the Sea”; and the beautiful ballad “If You Love Me”.
Mr. King holds a Masters in Broadcasting from Boston University and a BA from Princeton. A lifelong devotee of recorded music, he formerly hosted music programs on WBUR radio, was a News Producer at WCVB TV, Channel 5, and an Assistant Professor at B.U.. His lectures draw from the music and art from his personal collection of over 2500 record albums. He has presented over 900 highly acclaimed music lectures around Greater Boston and Cape Cod since 2014.
