I'm Yours - Don Cornell (1952)
A big band singer, who had so much to offer..listen to this spectacular voice....
Memories are made of this - Dean Martin
no rehersals, just stand up outside the fire,and belt it out, so easy! Just melt us in your romantic, touching voice....
Marty Robbins Jr (Ronny) - It Finally Happened
Wow! What a nice voice, so much like his Dad's voice, but unique with its own qualities. Buy his albums and give him a chance!
Some Memories Just Won't Die by Marty Robbins (Live)
Thinking of lots of folks of the past...what a nice song!
A White Sport Coat and a Pink Carnation by Marty Robbins (1981)
Everyone had to know this major hit, country was coming on!
Guy Mitchell - Singing The Blues (Live!)
they said that country did not cross into poplular music until the 60's....oops it was in the 50's as far as I am concerned, and here is one that was a cross over country, swing combination, in my book, and it is still great.

This was one of my favorite movies in the 1950's, many of you have not seen it, because it has not appeared in recent times, however, Alec Guinness was superb in my view in that long ago time It is a great gift for someone that likes old movies.

Keely Smith on the Frank Sinatra show 1958
I think that Keely Smith is a natural singer and imagine her as an Indian maiden, standing before a teepee in a romantic scene, at the dawn of Indian Civilization in the Americas....Her voice is all that counts....
Sway
, Talk about natural talent, when I hear Dean, I often think that someone like him invented singing.....maybe he just stood up at the fire which warmed the cave on that night centuries ago and employed the limited language to start what we know as singing and song...and so was born myth and magic!
Amazing Karaoke!!! Girl sings Whitney Houston in grocery store
Talent just comes out of some people. Turn up the volume so you can get the sound.

Scientific Studies - CureYourOwnCancer.org There is excitement brewing in the laboratories...meanwhile there is some hope with hemp oil, always talk to your doctor before you try things.. read and print this out for him, it might be a ray of hope where there appears to be none. Maybe he knows nothing about the experiments going on , and you might need to do more investigating, if you need help doing this, drop me a line.

Della Reese - And that reminds me

Sarah Vaughan - Broken Hearted Melody
Introduction and arrangment make this song, Dinah has the voice! But the song is carried with a great arrangment
Billy Eckstine - I Apologise
Another monster hit, when we raided the record stores to get these fabulous songs!
Billy Eckstine - Everything I Have Is Yours
Billy in his prime! Phrasing, breath, arrangment, made this a number one record for me! Is it time to recrod it again?

"If It's The Last Thing I Do" Frank Sinatra
Never remember this being a major hit, but there is a voice out there that this song is perfect for ...don't you think it could be a big hit?
It's A Sin To Tell A Lie - The Ink Spots
Just think about this, when this was popular, a whole different world surrounded us. Mothers and Dad's long gone, old cars were common place, because then, they were new! Just meditate on this.
"Who's That Lady" - Peter White Live - Kettle Moraine Jazz Fest 2011
this will make you smile especially if you know and or remember the song. "Who's That Lady".

Dinah Washington call me Irresponsible
This arrangement is in focus with the singer as the main interest, she the centerpiece , just something to think about as you plan your songs and career...there is so much to learn. No big intro, no big back up needed here!
Madeleine Peyroux - Between The Bars
This makes me think of Eminem, and a crazy idea.....how about a mash up with the two of them?
Jo Stafford - You Belong To Me
Arrangement makes a song, introduction, pitch, voice, they all come together here and that is why this was the biggest hit for this number and this voice. For example, the introduction to this song, draws you in.....now go back to Peggy Lee and the introduction to Lover! Wow! Need I say more?
"You Belong to Me" Joni James
Listen to Joni James, if you have a voice like that, compare her other songs to this one, the pitch is better here, it gives more depth to her small young girl voice.....this makes this song one of my favorites by Joni James...
The Tokens - The Lion Sleeps Tonight
In the spirit of play today, this was one of the final songs in my fun years before I joined the serious world of adults. Boy, I should have listened to the lyrics, I certainly woke that lion from his sleep!
The Chordettes - Lollipop
Now for a lollipop and an invitation to my 7.5 year old granddaughter to come visit me and play with her leap pad learning vowels.

Rodgers and Hart "Lover" - Peggy Lee
this was a major hit and my favorite for Peggy Lee. The violins that start the song, that appear in the background, oh, this arrangment is just spectacular!
Peggy Lee: Fever!
this was the major hit...for the song...Peggy Lee had the right sound in her voice, the arrangment called up the fever! Fever still echoes in our music reportoire of long ago.
k.d.lang - Fever ( audio 2003 )
Interesting arrangement, different beat for a popular song...clever...sounds, and timing.
Billie Holiday - "i´ll be seeing you"
I always think of my aunts saying good bye to their boyfriends/husbands as they went off to the horror of the 2nd World War, none of us knowing if we would ever see them again....songs were tearful, songs of longing, songs of love, as we lost years of our lives, to a war like no other in the history of our known world, ending with the dropping of two atomic bombs.
And The Angels Sing,Ziggy Elman with Tommy Dorsey
I love the Tommy Dorsey intro to this song... and then Ziggy takes it......I guess this is my favorite version..
Benny Goodman, Martha Tilton - AND THE ANGELS SING
;ooking for a great song...this is one of the best...great for instrumental or vocal
Mario Lanza - Toselli's Serenade
If you listened to WKOX Framingham on Sunday, in the 1950's, I guarantee you, that you heard this song many times.
Mario Lanza - Parlami d'Amore Mariu
Here is a splendid voice of the 1950's singing the same song...what a beauty!
Parlami d'amore Mariù
If you grew up in the listening area of WKOX, Framingham, Mass., in the 1950's this was a song you would have heard on the Italian hour with Peal Oliver and her father Guido Oliver, they had the immensly popular show that was always on Sundays for those who longed to hear the beautiful music of Italy. Pearl and or her father had to love this song, because it was played almost every Sunday, it became part of my life.
baciami piccina
Everyone knows the Rosemary Clooney version....this is a great swing version of the song...I heard anothe version yesterday that was slower and really good, trying to find it.

Barry White - Can't get enough of your love baby
what a voice, what a presentation...great music...he just belongs with the sounds of the music...
Gladys Knight & The Pips - Midnight Train to Georgia_Neither One of Us
Oh, this is such a with it song....it is crying to be heard again....
The Skyliners - Since I Don't Have You
I try not to put this up too much, because.....I love love love it.....and hope we will hear it again today...tomorrow or soon
Ed Townsend - For Your Love
this was a hugh hit once upon a time, and fairy tales have happy endings, usually, so.....I hope someone will record this song again for another winner.
The Manhattan Transfer - Java Jive
A great song from the past brought back to enjoy another go around
Herbie Hancock - Jazz Fusion Cantelope Island
Guess this is one really appreciated performance, look at the hits...

You will not guess who the bad guy is...don't peek! Based on some of the discoveries we are finding in longevity, it educates as well as entertains. Good reading!

How Django Reinhardt survived German occupation
Interesting history of the times, I just stumbled on.
Boots Randolph - Night Train.wmv
Another star version of Night Train...good listening and comparing.
Night Train - Sam Butera
I love this number, and Louis Prima version, but Sam Butera does a good job, and he had to overcome the Louis Prima version to come out with his own...good job!
Sam Butera & The Witnesses - Let The Good Times Roll (Mafia II soundtrack)
Sam Butera was with Louis Prima for years, there is some of his music around, this is a good one.
Jimmy Dorsey - "So Rare"
This is one of my all time favorites, the instrument, the arrangment, the melody....just melt with joy for the whole creation.
RICKY NELSON - SOMEDAY
a whole new feel, a young male voice, answering his girfriend...no competition with the female singers..
patsy cline someday you'll want me to love you
The voice....her voice would sound good without any background, it had something special....what a difference between the Kitty Kallen version and this....Patsy had timbre, depth, a rich full sound...
Kitty Kallen - Someday (You'll Want Me To Want You) (1961)
The third great song, that could be revived, Kitty Kallen's sound is different for this song, notice?
Kitty Kallen - If I Give My Heart To You
In a long ago life, this was a song that your Mom or grandmother might have loved, as she dreamed of her boyfriend. Her voice is plaintif, young and trusting, just right for the song.
DON CORNELL - HOLD MY HAND (U.K.No1 1954)
Don Cornell, great voice from the past and a song never or seldom heard on the oldies lists...isn't it wonderful?
Kay Starr - Comes A-Long A-Love
A blast from the past to start your day, a song never hear amongst the oldies
