There's only one word that can adequately sum up a life like Phil's:
That's a Trouper!
Phil started his professional career while only a teenager in the song-and-dance chorus of NBC-TV's Jerry Lewis Show as one of the Doodle Town Pipers, and went on to guest star on ABC network's 90 Tonight show.
Moving on to nightclub appearances, by himself and as lead singer of the popular 60s singing group Thanx, Phil's played singing and comedy dates from one end of the country to the other, including Los Angeles, Las Vegas, and New York.
 He's headlined in musical theater, creating the role of Annas in the original Broadway version of the musical Jesus Christ Superstar, and touring Superstar throughout the US and Canada - also appearing in the national tour as the Modern Major General in Gilberts and Sullivans Pirates of Penzance.
Phil has appeared in countless performances as guest vocalist with the Bob Gail Orchestra in a Tribute to Frank as a special guest for events such as private parties and weddings, at the Mirage in Las Vegas, Shutters on the Beach, Loew's Santa Monica and the Peninsula Hotel in Beverly Hills, and as a Las Vegas headliner for convention dates at Caesar's Palace, the Riviera, and the Las Vegas Hilton.
Also in Vegas, Phil has made multiple appearances fronting a 17 piece big band for dates at the Showboat, the Riviera, the Stardust, the Goldcoast and Arizona Charlie's.
Phil is widely acclaimed for his incredible recreation of the sound of Frank Sinatra at the peak of his popularity during the Pal Joey era of the late 50s which Phil originated for the Las Vegas production of Legends in Concert at the Imperial Palace Hotel. He's appeared as Frank, singing the classic Sinatra songbook from Hollywood's Atlas Bar & Grill to the Florida condo circuit and back. Always popular in Vegas hotel showrooms, Phil's presented his interpretation of Frank's songs in nightclubs, at conventions and private parties, even aboard cruise ships!
Acting, comedy, singing, and one unbelievable musical interpretation. More than 30 years in show business. That's a trouper - that's Phil Jeffrey!
