Hello folks my name is Frank Cannella better known as THE GREAT FRANKIE RAYMOND ! For the past 35 years I have been performing as a professional musician specilaizing in percussion. I have learned the drums from some of the most talented Instructors/Musicians in the trade. I started my career back in 1942 in NYC where I was under the direction of Gene Krupa along with Cozy Cole, William Kessler and Henry Adler. At the time these musicians were the best that were available. Today they are all legends in the music business.

I got my feet wet with some of the most well know singers in the business. Jimmy Dorsey,Tommy Leonetti,Denise Darsell,Rudy Vallie along with Frank Fontaine (From the Jackie Gleason Show),Hellen O Conner, The Sheppard Sisters,Lou Monte,Vic Damone. I also performed with some well know comediens,Tiny Tim,Pat Cooper,Jackie Mason and performed at the Famed Palisades Amusement Park in NJ along with many others too numerous mention. I have performed all types of music from playing with a 40 piece BIG BANDS to SWING,BLUES and Traditional Orchestra.

I just retired in Sunny Venice,Florida (West Coast) after performing with a 6 piece Band known as the Eddy Cap Band where we performed a tribute to Frank Sinatra at the Famed Sogna D'oro in Elmwood Park NJ for 5 years !
