This man was amazing. I'm just frustrated I was just a child when he was big. There will never be another like him.

[@johnmarshall6271]

Jerry vale is my all time favorite male singer. Broke my heart when he passed

[@LifeLiver.]

never got the recognition of Dean Martin or Sinatra , but JERRY VALE was definitely the best Italian singer of the three 👍❤️

[@arnolddavidson5245]

He seemed to me a most humble human being. God love him.

[@dianemahon3875]

Such a pure voice. I remember making the ravioli's on Sunday and my Dad playing his records. These are wonderful memories, God bless Jerry Vale.

[@Sincopare]

I miss singers like Jerry and the meaningful songs they sang. I'm lucky to be old enough to have experienced the art of romantic music.

[@ruthtagg3193]

Jerry Vale is by far my favourite singer - he is truly brilliant, and should have been much greater than he was. We won't hear anyone like him. God bless Jerry!

[@metropcs5020]

Ruth, U certainly know your music, Jerry spent the majority of time in Vegas, and went on the road during the summer months mostly in the Northeast, to sum things up JERRY VALE WAS THE MASTER OF THE VOCAL CORDS AS WELL AS THE DEAN OF ALL MALE RECORDING ARTISTS, I can attest to that because I was fortunate enough to see Jerry live approximately two dozen times, he also had a great personality and was great at telling jokes, HE WAS SIMPLY AMAZING.

[@ruthtagg3193]

@@metropcs5020 Thanks for your reply. I live in England, where sadly Jerry Vale is not well known - unlike Sinatra or Tony Bennett. There are no radio stations here that play crooners such as Jerry - it is either classical music or mainstream pop, so generations are missing out on his great music. I have been trying hard to spread the word about Jerry wherever I go and my friends love him. I am a member of The Amazing Jerry Vale Facebook group which keeps his music alive. Best wishes, Ruth.

[@doroteotimtim8854]

I've always loved his smooth and powerful baritone voice singing beautiful romantic songs. If you remember Eddie Fisher, they both shared similar mannerisms and singing styles....

So great to see and hear a singer that can actually sing. Not like the so called singer today. I tell you our generation got cheated so bad. Our grandparents got Elvis, Nat Cole, Jerry Vale, Patsy Cline and so on..... Drove a better looking car. What do we got Beiber and plastic car.

[@catherinebramante2370]

I wish he was singing again. I just loved his voice and his appearance Love that voice

Very truly well said about the singing style of JERRY VALE . His voice has a unique tenor sound that evokes excitement because he really is so expressive and animated in his love songs that you instantly fall in love with his amazing voice! The years have taken away his magnificent style, but he will be remembered for songs that have kept loving families together because of his inspirational and passionate manner that leaves a lasting impression on people that loves his songs! He has sang so many Italian songs that are unforgettable.....

[@kathbowen9310]

What a voice, what a style! 🎶💎

[@judyogayan1550]

RIP my eternal idol

[@metropcs5020]

When Jerry performed live before the audience and sang the song TILL, he would always tell the audience THIS NEXT SONG, I HAD ONE OF THE FIRST RECORDINGS OF IT AND IT WENT ON TO BECOME A BIG HIT, BY THEM, BUT NEVERTHELESS i'm gonna sing it for you now, and in my opinion his recording of TILL was best of all the MALE RECORDING ARTISTS that recorded it, in my opinion, undoubtedly a BEAUTIFUL LOVE SONG. RIP, JERRY, YOU CERTAINLY WAS THE BEST OF THE BEST.

[@keithbehling1690]

He Started His Singing Career At The Age Of 20 At The Ted Mack Amateur Hour! And The Rest Is History! He Is My Favorite Crooner Along With Englands Matt Monro!

[@ruthh.stabile925]

Jerry Vale's ability to go up and down the scale of notes with no strain or change in his beautiful voice was truly amazing. I cannot think of any other singer that had the smoothness in the transition of notes. He is truly the best!

[@josefinamarino291]

Jerry Vale's songs can never be beaten by other singers. His style/rendition is his own from his heart...the reason why he's my number one singer of all times. Just so sad that he's gone forever. RIP idol.

Oh my God, I am already 74 years old abd as young as 10 years okd I have geard the very beautiful voices of Jerry Vale, Johnny Mathis, Steve Lawrence, Jerry Fuller, Al Martino and many more great singers of the 50s and 60s are far more enjoyable to listen. Hiw I wished they live longer. They are incomparable.

Sinatra was asked by Johnny Carson who he listened to musically. He mentioned Jerry Vale.

[@josephpalermo4538]

Knowing how Sinatra was ...he meant it sarcastically....he was jealous of Jerry Vale...he used to call him "Jerry Fail".....not a nice man!!!

[@metropcs5020]

@@josephpalermo4538 Frank Sinatra gave Jerry his first break, it's been said Frank saw Jerry performing and asked Jerry when are you coming to Vegas and Jerry responded when i'm invited, Frank who owned the Sands in Vegas told Jerry to be there next week for a weeks engagement and I believe that weeks engagement was extended for 33 consecutive weeks.

[@johnbellocchio66]

Frank loved Jerry. He got Jerry his first big break, at the Sands. When Jerry died, Frank's wife lead the mourning ceremony before the funeral. Stop reading the enquirer.
