Mel Torme on his amazing career!

[@HolgerRuneFan]

Listen to how articulate Mel was. No celebrity, singer or movie star could hold a candle to his level of discourse. Very entertaining, thank you for this!

[@acohen1980]

The one...the only.....saw his concert in 1974.....best live music experience of my past 50 years.....

[@blueskye6372]

So pleasant and articulate. 📺🎬📽️🎶🎵🎼☺️😉

[@garylawrence7011]

I played piano for him in the early '80s. We had a musical disagreement and I did not find him to be the "nice guy" you see in this interview. However, I must say he was an incredible vocalist, arranger and musician. We won't see talent like him again!!

[@Jay07110]

Was he rude to you while disagreeing or was he just disagreeing with you with no bad intentions. Crazy he seemed like a nice guy in the interview

[@PaulDunn-uw6pq]

@@Jay07110 Deal with it

Jerry Sharell, KJAZZ Radio LA. 10/6/2020. Every song Mel Torme sang was a vocal lesson presented by the only man/only boy singer who "sang his sox off" and had no equal! He practically owned every ballad he sang and when it came to an up-tune at a "ridiculous tempo" and many chorus' of skatting he almost dared anyone else to top him! There will always be the one and only Mel Torme!

Great interview of one of America’s greatest entertainers, singer, very intelligent, a great person as well.

[@petershaw80]

A huge talent. One of the best songsters if all time.

[@vincemastro1822]

My all time favorite singer. I actually preformed his life story at the smith center in Las Vegas in 2017 with my dear friend Mr Frank Laspina and his daughter Angie who sang several duets with me. Plus ‘ my son Vince Mastro Jr. Played drums. What more could I ask for. Mel was the most musical singer I ever heard. I love singing his songs. What an influential preformer he is to me even now. He helped shape my vocals to this day. Thank you Mr Mel Torme’ where ever you are. And the Angels sing.

I miss this guy; one of the all time greats and unpretentious

[@chenzenzo]

He only got better. His range only grew and he grew so much as a singer and a person. There was such a beautiful depth to his voice and his character held true throughout his life. His son exemplifies his legacy and it's so wonderful to see him hold court with anyone. As much as I love Sinatra, Davis, Hartman and just about anyone, I've never heard anyone sing like Mel Torme. He really broke the mold and made this world a beautiful place for everyone around him. The greatest jazz balladeer in the world. Check it out.

Eileen, thank you so much for posting this interview. I've been a fan of Mel Torme since my teens (I'm 68). An incredibly talented man. If you have never heard his rendition of the standard "That's All", I encourage you to check it out. A lovely song made that much more beautiful with his voice. How wonderful that we have youtube to bring these amazing performances to young people who weren't around at the time and to the not so young who want to relive them.

Christmas Magic. Top Of The World. Feb 1972. Fond memories. Thank you Mel. And Merry Christmas to YOU. Jan Taylor

[@VinnyDrysdale]

Out of all the people he mentioned at the end, he was perhaps more talented than all of them.

[@kathleenhutton1566]

Michael Bubbly has this guy to thank for his phrasing!Singing over the bar etc!!

[@MishaBenlevy]

good interview

[@desperatetimes5873]

What a wonderful interview. Gorgeous and erudite interviewer. Mel was so articulate. What a talent!

[@fasbc]

Mel was a great one.

[@eileenprose8472]

And one of the nicest people I've ever met. Thank you for watching, Bud. I hope you will check out my channel. It has been such fun to share my interviews. Best to you....

[@fasbc]

Thank you, Eileen. I created a Facebook page for him. It is Mel Torme ~ Smooth As Velvet. Turns out there was an album titled that. I stayed away from ''The Velvet Fog" title, he disliked that. I managed to get "velvet" in nicely though. Lol Have a great day! Bud Oh, come join the page. Love to have you.

[@alexandermarquis6197]

Love this man's voice, very melodic

[@kathbaker4412]

Harry Anderson loved him... Night Court ... So I thought I'd find out about him. I appreciate words/lyrics too much the first time around but maybe in my reflective years???!

[@monsieurlewop]

Lovely interview.

[@marthagarrett4997]

What a classy guy.

[@danielstanwyck2812]

like it or not, and tho' it may not be liked by him, the velvet fog befits even his speaking voice. he's a genius of the voice. catch him in seinfeld; great. too young to go

[@PlanetRockJesus]

What a great interview. I was born in 1953, and was a Beatles fan and such, and Mel was a guy I'd see on Carson occasionally with people like Buddy Hackett or Don Rickles. I really didn't appreciate him until recently, but I HAVE been a fan of Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin. But what a great interview here. Seems like a great guy who cares about people.

[@PaulDunn-uw6pq]

So do you
