Solo entertainer on either Organ or Keyboards and 50% of time playing to guest singers. Most of my friends were in the same business and sometimes helped each other out. Sounds quality that. 👍 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same here Cressy, Motown was my era. I don't like Sinatra, don't like Bing Crosby or Sammy Davies Jr but I do think Tony Bennett and Andy Williams had nice voices.

Jim Hardie Posted September 21, 2023 Share Posted September 21, 2023 The best crooners are those that can sing an up tempo song and still sound great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cuttsie has only mentioned male singers, but if you include female singers then Weyes Blood is quite close in feel to an older style. Something of the Karen Carpenter about her, with lots of strings. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crookesey Posted September 21, 2023 Share Posted September 21, 2023 What you must take into account is that Crosby was born in 1903, Sinatra in 1915 and the others in the mid 1920’s, they must have had good voices when voice assistance was in it’s infancy.

cressida Posted September 21, 2023 Share Posted September 21, 2023 I took all the Motown records that were left behind in the house, anything lively as I can't stand slow, repetitive, smoochy type music, that's why I was thrilled when New Kids on the Block arrived in the UK (Jordan Knight particularly) then Take That copied them and it led to a whole lot of boy bands - never bought into them.

Agree with you about Motown Cressida and francypants. There's nothing better to get you up on the dance floor, is there? My taste in music is eclectic, I even like big bands such as Glen Miller, I suppose it's nostalgic, but my favourite period without a doubt is from the mid '50s to the early 70's. Teenagers were a new social class and they created a revolution in music, fashion and ideas. I was a very small part of that movement in my formative years, like many on this forum. Ah, the memories! echo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
