Frank Loconto, a singer and political commentator who wrote jingles for governors and congressional candidates, has passed away. He died on Wednesday at a nursing home.

The “The Bob Graham Song” from 1978, which Graham penned when he applied for a position in the Governor’s palace, was his biggest hit at the time, according to the news agency United Press International in 1986. Graham sang it in front of an audience, and it became known as “The Graham Cracker Song” and was shown on CSPAN.

Frank’s voice and musical talent were commended by former Fort Lauderdale mayor Jack Seiler. He requested Loconto to sing the national anthems at numerous ceremonies when he was mayor. He was a really kind individual. He never said anything negative about anyone.

Loconto portrayed the Lane Brothers on stage along with his brothers Art and Pete. Their family claims that they started performing when they first hired a manager at the renowned hotel Grossinger’s in the New York state Catskill Mountains. In the late 1950s, they cut “All Day, All Night, Marianne” for RCA.

The words and music for “Drug Free Society” for former Broward Sheriff Nick Navarro’s anti-drug campaign, as well as Pat Robertson, a TV preacher and future Republican presidential candidate, are just two instances of the politicians for whom Loconto wrote custom songs.
