At Last-Etta James
This is the only way to say good bye to this gorgeous voice, as far as I am concerned this is her best presentation of all time, and will always belong to her.

ONCE IN A WHILE ~ Frances Langford 1937
Never forget.....Bob Hope, Francis Langford, and the wonderful entertainers who put their lives at risk to fly often in dangerous conditions, to entertain the troops longing for a taste of home during the 2nd World war
Bunny Berigan - Blue Moon (1934)
Listening to Bunny Berrigan on Satellite radio the other day, I heard the sounds of Artie Shaw and Billy May...each musician lends an aspect of himself to the future. Bunny Berrigan was a jazz great, that I am sure influenced these others, listen to his style the horn that lets the sound linger
CONNIE FRANCIS: "SENZA FINE" (1965 - Alternate Version)
A wonderful voice from the past with a song loved by our troops in Afghanistan
Dean Martin - A Hundred Years From Today
Posted this the other day, but can't help myself, the song is so pretty and it suits his sexy voice...Went to see the "Rat Pack" impersonators last night, and they tried, but can anyone really replicate them?
