music, thoughts, books, dreams, more

Just my world of dreams, music and thoughts. Author of two books, one a novel of Love stories set in Framingham, Mass, Secrets of the Heart the 2nd book an autobiography of growing up in Framingham, Mass. Small Town America, Framingham My generation was the first teenage generation, that was when the word was coined. Ours was the generation that started cruising through town and to the drive in theater and drive in restaurant. In our area, Ernie Kampersal,from Holliston, drove his bucking car through town, picking up girls. It rose in the air, like a stallion! We went to the soda shops and played the juke boxes. It was a different town, a different time, and it belonged to us!

My favorites (playlist)

There was a time when contracts would not let you appear or share your talent with another talent or competitor.  Think about it, as simple as thinking food courts....they are successful, with more than one competitor together.  Who compliments your voice, your style....and team up for a try...why not?

Jerry Vale - You're Breaking My Heart (1963)

Here is a better quality recording and a better chance to hear his voice and compare it!  We loved this song!

Jerry Vale - This Is My Song (1967)

A little comparison of voice...

Don Cherry - It isn't fair

 we loved this song...notice the voices of the time, Jerry Vale, Don Cherry, Don Cornell, they sounded similar, but they all stood out...while Dean just sat back, not practicing , and knocking us all for a loop with his romantic voice...
It isn't fair....some people practice til they are blue...and others just have it from the moment they open their mouth...Isn't that true?

DON CHERRY (THE SINGER)- THINKING OF YOU

another major hit by Don
Cherry many years ago....romantic songs with a great voice, how can you lose?

BAND OF GOLD ~ Don Cherry 1955

Don Cherry had a voice like Don Cornell, great voice, know anyone that has a voice like this, we are waiting ....This is one of my all time favorite songs...

Don Cornell - As Time Goes By

A song for the forever, does it ever change?

DON CORNELL - HOLD MY HAND (U.K.No1 1954)

Looking for a great song to bring back....?  Here is another one...and we need another voice like this spectacular voice.

I'm Yours - Don Cornell (1952)

This voice was incredible!  The song took us to far away lands of dreams!

BILLY ECKSTINE - IT ISN'T FAIR

Yes, we swooned for Billy Ecksteing too!

Billy Eckstine - Everything I Have Is Yours

Where is there a voice like this today?  How I loved his voice and this song.

Michael Buble - Dream a Little Dream of Me

Good selection of great past hits by Michael, don't forget that the old folks will like his albums with all their old favorites!

The way you look tonight-Michael Buble

Love Michael Buble, my grandson knew I would love his music, when he gave me his album as a gift.

Michael Buble - Try a Little Tenderness (Live 2005) HD

This is the crooner you will be remembering in the far future, he has it!

VAUGHN MONROE - WHEN THE LIGHTS GO ON ALL OVER THE WORLD

This was a big song, because it expressed our hope that the war would soon end.  Vaughn Munroe, a popular local made it big, when he put down his horn, to start singing with his band.

Jerry Vale - I have but one heart ('O marenariello)

A romantic song for Jerry

ED TOWNSEND- FOR YOUR LOVE

the last song reminded me of this big hit....do you have the voice to make this a big hit again?

Julie London - Let There Be Love

Here is another good one by Julie

Julie London - ♫ I Remember You ♫

Here is another one with guitar

Julie London - Gone With The Wind (1955)

Love this arrangement of the song.  Her voice is romantic and the arrangment with the guitar is superb
