On May 26th, 2007, Frankie’s 93rd birthday, swing dancers around the world purchased the book en masse from Amazon.com. This was in response to a viral email campaign spearheaded by Yehoodi with the goal of bumping Ambassador of Lindy Hop into Amazon's top ten list.

By the end of the day, Frankie’s autobiography was #7! Talk about a birthday present! What a thrill to watch Ambassador of Lindy Hop climb the charts until it beat out a bunch of bestsellers! (Actually, several people told me that it reached #6 by midnight on the West Coast, but I didn’t get a screen shot since I’d gone to bed at midnight in NYC, exhausted but exhilarated.)
