Advice on Music


Hi,

This might be a weird question or request but I have been wanting to hear some particular or specific type of music on LP's and am trying to search for them.
I will provide 2 example's of what I am looking for. I don't know the genre exactly but have some slight idea I think.
Kind of looking for older soft vocal music or just music from long ago.

The music would be from the 1940's to the 1960's I think.
First example, Frank Sinatra One For My Baby. I have this album and love listening to this song and the others on the LP but especially that particular song.
Second example, Music: "It's Been a Long Long Time"
I like that really old skool music and songs.

Would that be big band or some other genre?

Obviously Frank Sinatra is one artist that I probably need to get more LP's of if I want that type of music but I am also thinking Nat King Cole, Dean Martin maybe? Not to familiar with artists from those times or the music but I know I like it.

I prefer LP vs CD for this type of music.

Any other suggestions?
Thnx

Linda Ronstadt recorded three albums of standards with Nelson Riddle and his orchestra. Performed straight up classic, no schmaltzy flourishes, superbly recorded and mastered, more than homage they are pure yet somehow manage to sound new at the same. Another great is Harry Nilsson, A Little Touch of Schmilsson In The Night. In fact now you made me think of it thanks, its going on in a minute. If you don't love it I will eat my hat. And its a big hat. Has to be. I have a big head. Just ask anybody.
The Great American Songbook is the general genre

and the saying in Texas is “ all hat no cattle”

but perhaps, perhaps Miller is in this case spot on about Linda. Immaculate and recorded on the big soundstage at Skywalker Sound.
Thanks for all the suggestions. 

I think what I am going to do is, first pull these albums/tracks up on Qobuz ( if they have it), find which ones I like to get a taste and then go on the hunt to find them on LP format.
Johnny Hartman. His album with Coltrane is a classic, but I think you'll enjoy the others, too.
Here's a REC per my old post.

Not much info on these, but they used to come up on Ebay years ago...

Oh, and they are MONO,


If you ever run across box sets of Jazz vocalists by The Easton Press check them out.

They were produced in the mid 1980's and the boxes are a dull Gray/Silver.

I have Ethel Waters, Mildred Baily, Sarah Vaughan, Harry Belafonte, Lena Horne and Fred Astaire.

The Astaire box is my favorite.
