With the age of electronics, crooners emerged as sweet and easy serenaders
who could sing intimately into the microphone. The days of early radio were
home to my idol Bing Crosby, whose gentle rendition of "Moonlight Becomes
You" is just one of the many gems featured on THE CROONERS COLLECTION
VOLUMES 1
& 2 (Gold Label). Vaughn Monroe demonstrates his hearty baritone
on his hit "Ballerina", Vic Damone provides a romantic serenade on "You
Stepped Out Of A Dream," the soothing sounds of Perry Como fill "It's
Impossible," and the one and only Frank Sinatra joins the Tommy Dorsey
Orchestra on "Fools Rush In". To complement this collection, the Gold Label
also invites you to dream along with these starry night voices on THE
CROONERS. I narrate this comprehensive video that time-travels back to the
megaphone days of Rudy
Vallee and into the thirties with the lustrous charm of Russ Columbo. We
soon move into the postwar fifties and early sixties, with rarely-seen
archival footage of performances by such luminaries as Crosby, Como, Al
Martino, Johnny Mathis, Nat King Cole, Eddie Fisher, Bobby Vinton and Mel
"Velvet Fog" Torme. I also do my own tribute to Old Blue Eyes, with the
Sammy Cahn classic "All The Way" that I performed on my fifties variety
show, The Chevy Showroom. I know you'll love this!
