I only know him singing Dizzy.
The Crooners Page 4
Heh. He did a good cover of Born Free, and lots of similar stuff on a very croony album (although I think Dizzy was on it too).
Look at his lovely little face.

Just had a watch, pure gold, thanks and what a fine looking man too 
I'm not a fan of this music but I think Charlie Brooker hit the nail on the head when he talked about how it is portrayed by shows like X-Factor. It really annoys me when you see them with their shirt unbuttoned, swishing their drink about looking slightly pished.

Well that's the rat pack way of swinging.
But their were other singers besides the Rat Pack.

Serge Gainsbourg had his moments.

Sammy Davis Jr - Rhythm Of Life.
Val Doonican derves a mention. The cardiganned crooner.
I don't think anymore has mentioned Perry Como yet either.
I had a Roger Whittaker tape when I was a boy. His version of Puff The Magic Dragon rocked. Plus he could whistle. He was like my Starter Crooner.
