Perry Como has such a smooth voice

[@RicP351]

My father was a singer with Tommy Dorsey Orchestra, and Ralph Flanagan Orchestra, and he filled in for Perry Como to host a radio show called the Chesterfield Show. To thank my dad, Perry Como gave him a gold cigarette lighter. still have that lighter and the note he sent with it.

Give a listen, his last his hit "IT'S IMPOSSIBLE ". Basically a crooners were smooth, slow and romantic singers.

Oh, I still love It's Impossible!!!

Ahh love his voice... reminds me of Sunday evening’s when my parents would lift the lid on the radiogramme and play the 45’s & 33’s in the 1970’s

[@jillwanlin9558]

Hi Trish. I have those same memories ❤🎶😊

[@joepimentel306]

You guys are on the right track. A crooner, for better lack of definition, is someone who sings and women swoon.

[@thomastimlin1724]

Between 1944 and 1950 Como starred in his own NBC radio show, The Chesterfield Supper Club, which from 1948 was also televised. By this time Como was one of the most popular singers in the country. The Perry Como Show, a 15-minute variety show, began appearing three times a week on CBS in 1950. This was a major hit for Perry Como in 1973, hE was about 60 years old. Many years ago in his early 80's he did an Irish Show in Ireland, for PBS, and in the middle he sang this song. His voice was old and faltering, but when he belted out the middle part ["And yes I know how lonely life can be..."] in full voice, the crowd went nuts, cheers and applause, some with tears in their eyes including mine at home. Mom loved his voice. For a brief moment, the young Perry Como was back. It was very moving.

[@artmanjohn2]

Perry Como had the most number one hits of any recording artist in recording history! Thankyou, it's about time someone is playing his music especially for the young people who have never heard of him before. This is a Don McClean's song that Perry Como covered and was number one in the UK charts from 1973 -1975 and hit number one here in the United States too. Elvis Presley also recorded "And I Love You So" because he was a very good friend of Perry Como and he admired his music a lot. Perry Como and Elvis Presley both played Las Vegas sometimes at the same time in the early 70s and Elvis would sometimes go watch Perry perform his show when he wasn't on stage himself. Elvis also covered and recorded "It's Impossible" another number one Perry Como song. Elvis Presley loved Perry Como as did everybody back in the day.

[@philpartynski3125]

Beautiful song written by the great Don McLean. I used to play this song for weddings, back in the day. Try Don’s version. Much better, IMO. Thanks for another great reaction. Keep up the good work! 👊🎶❤

[@deegomez2089]

[@larryunsworth9573]

Perry Como was my first favorite singer. I wasn't even in grade school yet but he sang a song called "catch a falling star and put it in your pocket" and being a little kid I had never heard that you could catch a falling star so I loved it!

[@surlechapeau]

Asia & BJ, you’ll love his "Some Enchanted Evening" and "Till the End of Time"!!!

[@moloney118]

Catch a fallen star,❤

[@marthaz]

My absolute favorite of his (my top 10 romantic love songs of every genre) is entitled, "It's Impossible." The melody was written by a Mexican born composer who was honored in the US Latin Composers Hall of Fame back in the day and my lyrics in English were written by a composer who was famous for writing a number of songs for Elvis.🔥 Perry Como has a uniquely smooth voice and is an early crooner legend. ❤ Other "crooners" are Nat King Cole, Johnny Mathis, Smokey Robinson, Bing Crosby....

[@michaellazzeri2069]

This Masterpiece is from 1971-------------and, because I KNOW you 2 have listened to him, it will not surprise to tell you this is a Don McLean composition. Perry was 74 y/o when he recorded this. The man had a career of 40+ years. In the 50's, &60's, Saturday Night on NBC at 8 PM in Denver, it was Mr C --------The Perry Como Show. MY Dad----------and Mom, when my Brother & I spent time with her--------both, LOVED that show, & never missed it. -----------------SO--------" CROONERS " were generally male singers who sang in night clubs, lounges, & " crooned a tune ", to the ladies. THE best ever : Mr Tony Bennett--------Mr Nat King Cole-------Mr Billy Eckstine --------Mr Dean Martin-------Mr Sinatra-------Englebert Humperdink-----Matt Monro-------and yes, Mr Perry Como. IMO. The ladies were simply referred to as " singers " , though many also began in Night clubs & lounges. --------IMO-------Jo Stafford is the very best--------Miss Nancy Wilson, also-----THE legend, Lady Ella Fitzgerald--------Billie Holiday, Ethel Waters------Dorothy Dandridge-------The gorgeous Joni James--------Rosemary Clooney [ George's Aunt ] ------------Barbara McNair------& of course, " Babs " : Ms Barbra Streisand. ---------To name a few.

[@gmunden1]

"And I Love You So" is a popular song written by folk singer and guitarist Don McLean and released on his 1970 debut album, Tapestry. Many performers have done covers of this song. Perry Como's version was one of the more popular of the covers.

[@jamesdamiano8894]

P.S. SCTV used to do a skit about Perry being so relaxed that the guy playing him would just be lying on stage with a microphone by his mouth to sing into. Too funny.

[@DanielFrost21]

Perry Como was born in Canonsburg, PA, which is where I was born. Bobby Vinton was born in Canonsburg also, which is about 20 miles south of Pittsburgh

[@jamesdamiano8894]

Perry Como has a ton of great easy listening songs. "Tina Marie", "Juke Box Baby", "Majic Moments" "I Know" and "Glendora" is awesome. That's a cool one about a guy falling in love with a store window mannequin. These are just a few recommendations has many more.Don't let the tag of easy listening fool you, quite a few of the songs are upbeat and catchy. Gotta get into some Andy Williams also.

[@thecottagemouse2713]

Love!!!! My dads favorite back in the 70’s when I was a child. And my brother and dad resemble Perry as well. Very handsome. Just a gentle soul. That’s what I hear in his voice. Angelina Jordan Love don’t let me go. Amazing I am waiting for your reaction. Also want to hear rap before rap was rap React to Louie Prima. Another great from the 1950’s

Song written by Don McLean. An unusual song in that most song verses usually rhyme the 1st & 3rd line and always rhyme the 2nd & 4th line. In the verses of this song, the 1st & 4th rhyme while the 2nd & 3rd lines rhyme.

[@flutesong5527]

It means a soft spoken word into someone's ear, became crooners because they were not singing in a raucous manner and it sounds intimate like he is singing to you like a lover

[@Eyes-of-Horus]

One of the earliest crooners was Bing Crosby. There was a supposed "rivalry" between him and Bob Hope. Hope called him not a crooner but a "groaner." One of the better and popular crooners of the 30s was Russ Columbo. He was a real rival to Bing Crosby but sadly died from an accidental gunshot wound only a few years after his career began. He was 26.

[@melvinwomack3717]

I heard this in 84 when I was in elementary school and I loved it so😅

[@northernlight2598]

Crooning is a laid-back relaxed vocal style, usually baritone for men, really big before the 60's. That's my story and I'm sticking to it. Gotta do some Bing Crosby BJ! He was the #1 singer of the 30's and 40's. Try 'Swinging On a Star'. This will further your already formidable music education.

[@moloney118]

Everyone before Elvis was a crooner, Bing Crosby, Nat King Cole etc

[@cindyerrington7099]

Crooners were the singers of love songs of like BJ said the 40s and 50s.

[@lessaqueensrider8571]

It has been said that if you put Perry and Andy Williams on stage together that the audience would be so relaxed they would go to sleep to sweet dreams

[@joankisloski6972]

No too bad for a guy who was a barber. I loved watching him as a young girl. So dreamy. "Crooner is a term used to describe primarily male singers who performed using a smooth style made possible by better microphones which picked up quieter sounds and a wider range of frequencies, allowing the singer to access a more dynamic range and perform in a more intimate manner."

[@TheOriginalRick]

Como always kept his barber's license current. His philosophy was that he never knew when his singing career might fall apart and he wanted a backup plan for that event.

[@MrCnurse]

The singing barber, Perry Como.

[@SEANBANOG4]

sweet song

[@timcarr6401]

You closed with "Bing Crosby. I don't know who that is." Oh no. He was the definitive crooner. Every crooner was influenced by him. Dean Martin did many duets with him. One of Dean's songs was "If I Could Sing Like Bing." Wonderful. Anyway, Mister C, was a class act. He was true gentleman. I much prefer listening to him rather than Frank Sinatra. You should check out his humorous song "If I Could Almost Read Your Mind." Next month Perry would be 111. He and Bobby Vinton are from the same town, "Canonsburg, Pa.

[@TheOriginalRick]

Crosby was the first major singer to understand just how significantly the improved microphone changed the entire possibilities in using the voice to communicate to the audience. You no longer had to stand back and shout at the mic in order to be heard, or to record. In their defense, the shouters were just doing what singers had had to do for thousands of years pre-technology, so it came naturally to them to carry that style over in the teens and twenties. Crosby dropped the volume, got closer to the mic with a more intimate style, and crooning was born.

[@donnalong402]

BJ, you know Bing Crosby. You hear him every Christmas. His version of White Christmas is the standard. He introduced it in the movie The Holiday Inn, then sang it again in the movie White Christmas. It is played repeatedly EVERYWHERE at Christmas time.

[@traceycater]

Perry was a great crooner! Elvis covered this and did it very well!

There were a group of crooners whose songs were unabashedly sweet and romantic. Some could see it as corny but it's so smooth and soothing. I had a crush on him when I was a tiny girl. Should take a listen to Bing Crosby and Nat King Cole too. It's those 50's crooners who had that style down. Sorry, but Manilow, Elvis and Valli just aren't in their ballpark or generation of singers.

Crooner: "a singer, typically a male one, who sings sentimental songs in a soft, low voice"..... nothing compares to Don McLean's original version, covers are great, but will never get the views the originals do...
