First, Happy Independence Day to all my fellow Americans! :)
Before I get on with the Weekend Song and Drink post, I want to direct you all to a post I wrote on Memorial Day weekend, about a great artist, Poto Leifi and his project “Freedom’s On Me”, who is using retro-style artwork to pay tribute […]
It’s definitely summertime here in the northeast. FINALLY!
Lots of rain the past couple weeks, but when we get a nice, hot day, what’s better to guzzle down than some lemonade?
For this weekend’s song and drink, I’ve selected something different and cool.
Something languid and sexy, that kind of makes you just want to be on a […]
(Originally posted August 2007, I want to try to get this idea rolling again!)
Okay everyone - it’s time for the first ever Crooner Culture blog project!
Here’s the skinny…
Everyone has old family photos from the 40’s and 50’s laying around somewhere. Maybe your cousin’s got them all, or your sister, or your 80 year old Uncle […]
I’m shooting for another regular series here at Crooner Culture, the “Weekend Song and Drink”, where I’ll highlight a tasty beverage (usually alcoholic, but often can be made without) and a song that would just go along well while drinking it.
You know how drinking that first sip of hot coffee in the morning gives you […]

My friends Chris and Nicole are getting married this afternoon. :)
One of the things I love about weddings is finding out what the bride and groom have chosen for their “first dance” wedding song. I know, most people like the romance of it all, the […]
I love the motion picture soundtrack for Chicago (2003), and have wanted to see it on stage for a long time, but the movie made me want to see it even more. Queen Latifah (as Matron Mama Morton) sings “When You’re Good To Mama” in probably the best way I can imagine. Her character in […]

This song is just nothing but happy. It’s penned by Michael, and you can almost “hear” his smile in this song. […]
Okay, I know he sounds like Elvis. Or an Elvis impersonator. A bad one. But still, here’s Frankie Laine’s “Jealousy”
Jealousy! Night and day you torture me
I sometimes wonder if this spell that I’m under
can only be a melody for I know no one but me
has won your heart but when the music starts
My peace departs […]
This version is by Harry Connick, Jr. and I’m sure that before you click the “play” button you’re going to be scratching your head as to what this song is, but once you hear it, you’ll really recognize it. And yes, there’s lots of instrumental - trumpets and piano and it’s just a really great […]
1950’s music was so varied… You had those hanging on to the crooner-style of the 40s, and then you had the Rock-N-Rollers.
Some of these, I don’t even know! I noticed that Hank Williams was on the scene, however I wouldn’t necessarily call him either a crooner or a rock-n-roller, so I didn’t list his […]
All about the style, swagger, and sexy hip of the smooth-voiced singers from the 40's, 50's, and 60's era of music and life.
