Don't know about Patti Page, but Sinatra was definately a teeny-bopper
sensation like spears/etc., in his younger days, just after WW II.
So yes, I could definately see late 40s/early 50s teenagers defining
themselves as "frankie" fans. (Ever wonder about those references to
swooning females cooing "Frankie!" in the Warner Brothers cartoons from
the 40s?)
