Crooners from the past favourites

Still one of my biggest regrets that I didn't go to see Sinatra when he played in Glasgow in 1994 I think it was. Just could not afford it at the time. Love Perry Comp too, always makes me think of my late mum when I hear him. He was her favourite.

Not strictly a crooner, but before they married, my Dad was working in Peter Jones in London, while Mum was in Durham.
Their favourite song was Ev’ry Time We Say Goodbye, by Ella Fitzgerald, although they didn’t really like her jazz side.

Al Bowlly. A blast from the past. He was a beautiful singer. So expressive.

I tend to think of them as a little before my time, if you mean the likes of Bing Crosby etc but I used to melt at The Bachelors- do they count?

Yes, of course.
Pat Boone - Love Letters in the Sand.
I'm not sure if he could be counted as a crooner though.

A work colleague once gave me a Nat King Cole LP, I was really embarrassed as I was married. He then said he'd bought it for a girl he danced but chickened out of giving it to her, didn't want to waste it so he thought I'd like it 😁

Not danced! Autocorrect again
Fancied.

There were so many great singers back then, crooners as they called them. I liked most of them, in particular Johnny Mathis. But over and above them all, no one could beat Frank Sinatra.

Robbie Williams is a modern day crooner. I have a CD of his singing all these types of songs. His Dad was a big Sinatra fan. He is really good.

Thats’s lovely seadragon ❤️

Every time at Matt Monroe came on tv or radio , without fail my dad said ‘ He was a bus driver’.

How about Dickie Valentine? My sister’s favourite

Dean Martin too.
‘Everybody Loves Somebody’ and ‘That’s Amore’.

And Roy Orbison singing ‘It’s Over’ is magnificent isn’t it?

Al Martino singing “Spanish Eyes”, absolutely beautiful!

Not too sure if he could be classed as a crooner but I do like Bobby Darin.. especially Beyond the Sea!

Oh yes Roy Orbison. I saw him once on tour with The Beatles. I loved him singing It's Over and also Crying.

What about Gentleman Jim ??

Oh yes, Jim Reeves.

‘I Love You Because’ and ‘Welcome To My World’.

Another rich, velvety voice.

Oh yes Roy Orbison. I saw him once on tour with The Beatles. I loved him singing It's Over and also Crying.

We saw the hologram Roy Irbison - it was very weird.

Yes I bet that was strange kitty.

David Whitfield

my sister was a great fan of David Whitfield

I love Frank Sinatra's voice, Andy Williams, Johnny Matthis, Nat King Cole. Really dislike Bing Crosby singing - his voice is okay, it's just that he warbles so much. Never liked Dean Martin either, although I'm not sure why.
