another vinyl another artist-

Actually I wonder if his music ever was to find on a CD. Maybe when you look under Jazz in your store. 

He is not so well known, but was in his time one of the best singers in Jazz/ Swing and went on to populare Hollywood music. Very much alike Frank Sinatra. And most people who knew both would not have said that one has been better then the other. As far as I know.
He was inspiring, someone with a passion and who knew to entertain.

When he made this vinyl he was just 30 years old but already has been in the show business about 25 years. 

So, no wonder he sounds very good and smooth. His songs like cremé and chocolade are pure enjoyment, thought most of them ar slow songs on this album as it was quite popular to have music to just listen to at home. 

Mel Tormé and his -It's a blue world- album is worth listening and gets never boring. No it is not a sad love song album or just an album with songs of depression and -all is hopeless- feelings. Not at all. It's quite positive, romantic and he interprets the songs with such a warm voice and deep feeling, you can't deny it makes you dream. Although this music is not that popular anymore these days, I will say you should try it no matter what, and let those songs sink into you. 

Yes, most of the songs are called classic and some are maybe still known these days.

12 songs, that's not bad, isn't it? Perfect for an afternoon with tea or coffee or even a glass wine. And you will wonder why he is so unknown, but I guess it's the way it is. Some become the big stars, others are just good singers and artist and you know what.... no matter what.... enjoy them!

discover old vinyl... today la Streisand

Yes,it is about Babs before she became really famous. 

Some of you may remember that she did TV shows in her beginning and showed how good she already has been then. 

And as it is those songs have been banned on vinyl. So we can hear them again and again and again. 

I was not exactly looking for that vinyl of hers but found it.

Since then I looked up the same vinyl to see what the prices are and interessting thing is, the prices differ quite a bit from very cheap to quite expencive. And also different countries made up different prices. And I am talking about the original vinyl. 

Anyway the album contains all the classic from that time and some are still famous today and well known like - Happy days are here again- or -cry me river-. 

The nice thing with this album is, it shows la Streisand as a young girl, with a young voice just before she got better and better and even that young lady was more then promising. 

What a wonderful sound, though it is a soft album and not a dance album but if you look at the most ablums from these days, they are made for chilling and listening to great music and enjoying a soul, an artist. This album is after all a quite perfect production and not a single song is making the enjoyment less. 

So look up your parents vinyl collection and listen to it again..... Have fun.
