The Vidal Brothers -Oldies Medley: Blue Moon, We Belong Together

This is a great version , Doo Wop style.

Mel Torme - Blue Moon

Can't resist, this is one of my  very favorties...slow, with pauses, that call for the next note....it showcases his voice, it resonates with music lovers, the horn sound is gentle, the orchestra is a gentle waterfall of melody, nice arrangment.  but, then Mel Torme was always one of my favorite singers, he could do no wrong.

Steve and Mel Tormé Scat Duo

Teaming up is good...this is great, Steve and his Dad, one of the greatest, Mel Torme

Moonglow / Theme From Picnic By Morris Stoloff

This is one of the best mashups, ever...a good singer has to find the right arranger for his voice, someone that can hear the the mashup songs...some one that can guide the singer.  My best example is Frank Sinatra, before and after Nelson Riddle.  Any Winehouse with her band...grab that band!

Eminem - "Lose Yourself" Official Music Video

Turn around the rap lyrics and use the beat...that is the key, can we do it!

Taylor Swift - Eminem's "Lose Yourself" and Uncle Kracker's "Smile" Gran...

Eminem has great virtuosity, and I would like to see him take his creativity to mash up with some outstanding non rap artists...Taylor could have really hit it, using Eminem behind a song that fits  it...

Andrea Bocelli -Solamente Una Vez-

Andrea is true to his inner rhythm, no matter what he sings, in Italian, or otherwise.  You Belong to My Heart, the English title might be a hit for someone today, the song is incredibly beautiful.

Light My Fire - Jose Feliciano (Doors)

this morning I am focusing on musicians with sight disability, because they are great artists and they exemplify their inner harmony and rhythm so easy.  Blind lead the blind, isn't it true?  Jose Feliciano just does it for me in all his recordings....doesn't he reach you...?

STEVIE WONDER- ISN'T SHE LOVELY

This song blew me away when it hit the air ....listen to the inner beat, harmony and love in this from the vocals to the melody.  It is true artistry on display, simple beat, simple melody he is on track with this song.

Somewhere Over The Rainbow - Ray Charles

Our senses are so important, that when a person can not see they become more attuned to sound.  Ray Charles, is an example of pacing, that does not kill a song, but rather lets it long for the next note...think about it...and listen to the pacing.

Lionel Richie "Tuskegee" Album Teaser (Out 3/26/12)

I love what I heard of this on Fox and Friends First, today.  His choice of singing duets, and his voice.  He is comfortable in his shoes.
Wonderful!

AL MARTINO - TILL

 Another popular singer from many years ago....ideas

Moonglow--Jimmy Forrest

You can tell he is comfortable, and you can hear his inner rhythm, listen to more...I have posted his Night Train before, he is consistent with his inner beat....

The Great Caruso, Ave Maria Gounod

 Gorgeous , lush singing, even if you don't believe..... this song should make you feel like it could be true, that we are spirtiual beings practicing learning love in all its many facets,  on earth.

Mario Lanza Because

when Mario Lanza ruled the airwaves with his magnificent voice, everyone sang along with songs like this....we hummed and sang this song for months, and maybe years...

Mario Lanza - Be My Love

It was 1950 and this song swept thru the airwaves, playing all day on the radio...Mom's sang it with their Victrolas playing over and over.....just as the songs of today ripple through society.  Imagine the grandeur of this song, the voice was spectacular, who can do this for us today?

Elvis Presley - I`ll Remember You (Lisa Marie) Studio Dub

 this is a song worth trying again...

Madeleine Peyroux - Dance Me To The End Of Love

I would love to see  James Torme try this song...

James Torme "Rock With You"

I want to see James Torme make it.  When you have a father who is fabulous to follow, you have to find your own place, and this is a beginning.  I think you need to  keep trying different sounds, you are getting there.  Notice in this version the voice is similar to Michael Jackson, not because it is Michaels song, but the timbre and the pitch are similar....try more songs that lend themselves to that sound, or try something  like   Unforgettable ...with Natalie and Nat King Cole....or try Etta James, At Last,   try singing with Tony Bennett...  I happen to like KD. Lang best when she sings with Tony Bennett...try Blue Moon with them.  Love to see you become as big as Mel Torme.  Rooting for you.  Hope you don't mind my crazy ideas!
