I can't believe I never heard of Joni James. What a honey.

 

Joni James was very popular in the 50s, Dwight. All the boys were crazy about her. I had a boyfriend who bought just about every record she recorded. Her husband was the conductor of a large orchestra.

 

Friendly Persuasion, 1956
Two versions. ( neither is Pat Boone ) Good movie.

Harve Presnell, 1965


Aretha Franklin, 1967

 

If we're doing crooners now, here's my guy.

 

I ran across this list of crooners:

I'd forgotten about John Gary. I used to have one of his albums.
Once Upon A Time

 

That's a good song, but Tony Bennett's version is much better. ( IMO )

 

I like both of them.

 

I do like this girl's singing, Terry, and I too have some of her records.

 

Love is like a violin - Lesley Uggams

 

Tony Bennett: "Yesterday I Heard The Rain"

 

"Sand in My Shoes" - Connee Boswell & Rochester

 

Jerry Vale - Yours

 

The Folks Who Live On The Hill - Peggy Lee

 

That's wonderful. Thanks.
