Bar Band Favorite Don’t Call Me Francis Singer Dies

The lead singer from the long-time South Jersey bar band Don't Call Me Francis died Tuesday. Frank Orsini had a long battle with cancer.

Orsini was the lone-remaining founding member of the 10-piece cover band  known for bringing the party music to a host of bars in Wildwood, Sea Isle and Atlantic City over the last 25 years.

The band posted this tribute on Facebook....

A man of many hats- A father. A brother. A family man. A friend. A band leader. A businessman. An entertainer. A musician. An irreplaceable presence. An inspiration to many. A relentless fighter. An unforgettable person.

As a band, family, friends, and fans- we are all broken hearted. We deeply thank you all for your support and touching words. Frank poured his heart and soul into his band and his music. He built years of wonderful memories both on and off stage. In his own words, he would want nothing more than the Don’t Call Me Francis legacy to continue on. The band is proud to fulfill his wish.

If you believe in forever as a Don’t Call Me Francis fan, you know there is a rock and roll heaven, and they have one hell of a band.

Rest peacefully, Francis Orsini.

We love and miss you.
