As of 2007, Joey Bishop is the only male member of the Rat Pack who is still alive.
2) In 1984, RAT PACK singer/founder Matt Ratt was covering the vocal duties for Rich Kids on LSD, while singer Jason Sears was away on "medical leave". During this time Rich Kids on LSD was signed on to record for the now infamous"NARDCORE" album on Mystic Records. Just prior to recording, Jason returned from his leave of absense. So left with the dilema of an album to record, and suddenly no band, Matt was told to throw something together quickly and record for the album anyway. So after a few rehearsals with Chris Rest and Alpo D.(borrowed from Rich Kids on LSD) Dave Casillas from STALAG 13 and Mike Torres from NARTHEX STRUCTURE, RAT PACK was born! Although originaly only meant to be a recording project for the NARDCORE album, RAT PACK ended up doing three records for Mystic, 1985's self titled 7", 1987's "Ice Cream Acid and Cigarettes" 7" and 1990's self titled full length Lp. Through the years RAT PACK has gone through long periods of hibernation, with many line up changes...people that have played in and recorded with RAT PACK include current and former members of bands such as NOFX, SOCIAL DISTORTION, STALAG 13, ADOLESCENTS, D.I., SUGAR CULT, HOLLYWOOD HATE, FOO FIGHTERS, Rubber Neck, LAGWAGON, Rich Kids on LSD, NO USE FOR A NAME, and ME FIRST AND THE GIMME GIMMES.
You're Nobody 'Til Somebody Loves You
Rat Pack Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You're nobody till somebody cares
You may be king, you may possess the world and its gold
But gold won't bring you happiness when you're growin' old
The world still is the same, you'll never change it
As sure as the stars shine above
You're nobody till somebody loves you
You're a nobody till somebody loves you
You're nobody till somebody cares
You may be a king, you may possess the whole world and its gold
But gold won't bring you happiness when you're gettin' old
The world still is the same, you'll never change it
As sure as the stars shine above
You're nobody, nobody till somebody loves you
So find yourself somebody
Gotta get yourself somebody
Because you're nobody till somebody loves you
You're nobody till somebody cares
You may a king, you might possess the big fat world and its gold
But gold won't bring you happiness when you're growin' old
The world, the whole world's the same, you'll never change it change it
As sure as the stars shine above
You're a nobody till somebody loves you
So find yourself somebody somebody to love
The lyrics to the Rat Pack's song You're Nobody 'Til Somebody Loves You are a reminder that no matter how successful or wealthy one may become, love and human connection are what truly bring happiness and fulfillment. The lines "You may be king, you may possess the world and its gold, but gold won't bring you happiness when you're growin' old" suggest that material possessions and power cannot replace the emotional value of love in one's life.
The repetition of the phrase "you're nobody till somebody loves you" reinforces the message throughout the song. This sentiment is especially poignant in the bridge of the song, where it is made clear that the world will not change for anyone and that love is the key to feeling valued and appreciated in life.

I hope music just hit a bump in the road, and will turn around and loop back to this kind of music. Music that people actualy put effort into!
@Jamesmac30
Just great - I agree that there is good music today if you look for it - but generally speaking, in my opinion the great songwriters and artists came from the 20's to the 40's 50's and 60's - Sinatra was fashioned in the 40's and still agreat artist in the 60's.
