Some singers have distinct vocal qualities or stamp their own unique interpretation on standard songs so that once you hear them you at once know who is singing without being told. To these group of vocal stylists belong Frank Sinatra, Tony Bennett, Perry Como, Louis Armstrong and Nat King Cole. Lesser known, but also quite excellent are Billy Eckstine, Johnny Hartman and Freddy Cole (younger brother of Nat King Cole).

 

If you can find them, try listening to:

 

My Foolish Heart - Billy Eckstine

Imagination - Billy Eckstine

Lush Life - Johnny Hartman

In The Wee Small Hours Of The Morning - Johnny Hartman

For All We Know - Freddy Cole

Somewhere Along The Way - Freddy Cole

Who can forget Dionne Warwick, Burt Bacharach's favorite singer for his compositions?

 

You can relive those memories with this DVD:

And Janis Ian of At Seventeen and Fly Too High fame?

 

Get Jodie Brooke Wilson's Halfway To Paradise CD and you'll find her covers of "At Seventeen" plus Beverly Craven's "Promise Me." Jodie was a recent visitor to the Philippines to promote her album.

Ayos to!!! A thread for Oldies lovers. Syempre ako lalo na dahil I play in a band that have this type of songs in our repertoire. Pero sa akin Rock and Roll songs from the 50's and 60's ang favourite ko talaga. The Beatles, The Beach Boys, The Shadows, The Ventures at marami pang ibang rock and roll bands especially the Brit Band nung 60's.

 

 

 

Newbie here. Ayos talaga. Saan kayo tumutogtog. D naman siguro sa joint nila RJ; medyo kakasawa na sila RJ. Sa Chef and Brewer every Thursday, okay doon.
