Mr. Tony Bennett is going to be on ABC’s The View this morning - last week or the week before they had Paul Anka!
Is there some Crooner Clan out there working hard to promote these people again? I WANT IN!!! ;P

I always loved the “chatter” whenever crooners get on stage. Here we’ve got Dean Martin and Bing Crosby (whose voices have been compared for decades as they’re very close in sound) and they’re boppin’ out short little “diddies” and incorporating a little banter back and forth between them. Great clip!
“It’s doo-bee-doo-bee-doo-bee-doo-bee-doo”
“That style you know began […]

You heard it here, folks! Michael Buble is going to be on Leno in 2 weeks! I’m getting out the DVD recorder for this one!
Check your local listings and all that jazz, but before you do that, check out Mike and his Starbucks obsession:
“Nutritious, AND delicious!”

Okay, I ordered my Dean Martin “Forever Cool” CD/DVD and coffee mug on the 12th of August.
I got an email on the 21st, NINE DAYS LATER, telling me that it was on backorder.
I pre-ordered!
So I replied to the email, asking why it took them nine days, 7 of which were after the official release […]

I couldn’t let today go by without an Elvis post. It’s 30 years ago today that Priscilla found him collapsed, Lisa Marie was only 9 years old.
This is FAR from my favorite version of the song, and this was filmed just two months before he died, but there’s no denying that Elvis took ownership of […]

Sexy neo-crooner John Legend was on Good Morning America this morning doing a concert in Bryant Park as part of the Summer Concert Series. I SO wish I could’ve been there! He did a couple songs from his newest album, the first one was “P.D.A” and when Diane Sawyer asked him, “What’s that one about?” […]

Norah Jones, as I’ve said before, has one of the sexiest, sultriest voices of any neo-crooner around - especially a female. Her piano playing is as soulful as her voice, and the lyrics… oh, the lyrics!
Whenever I’m feeling really… er, amorous… this song just HAS to be played. It’s Norah Jones’ “Turn Me On”. Lyrics […]

According to some, crooners are only male. Others believe in female crooners. Here’s how Wikipedia defines crooner:
