For older guys

On a recent Good Will LP foraging trip, I came across a Perry Como album new still in wrap .
Now, I never cared about Perry as a kid growing up but I had had a very beloved aunt
who adored him, and in her honor bought the album .

Spun it today and ,through the tears for my aunt, I saw why she adored him.
What I took for a sap when I was a kid had changed into a master of what
he did , perfect phrasing and timing , he just made his art, and art it was, seem easy and I was the sap.

Wonderful post, asvjerry, hit several nails right on the head.
I once heard Cole Porter say Astaire was the best singer of his songs .
Said. "Fred Astaire does what he does better than anyone else does what they do " .

When I was a really young kid, we used to watch TV show called "The Hit Parade.". Each week they would play the top ten billboard hits...with dancing and other such entertainment...the first music videos.  Perry Como was often in the top ten.  Great entertainment.

I played all these songs as a club and summer resort pianist in the '50s and early '60s. Actually, I played some of them in the '40s. I can still play many of them from memory, even when I can't remember what I had for lunch.
