Crooners 2 (1075)
This time on the program, we’re taking another deep dive of male singers of the lounge era. The age of the crooners. The close, inmate crooning style was made popular in the 1930s and 40s by folks like Bing Crosby and a young Frank Sinatra. It was a time when singers could get right up to the microphone and sell songs with a light but confident touch. The romantic leads of popular music, if you will. We’ll hear from Bobby Troup, Jackie Paris, Andy Williams, Steve Lawrence, and many more!
