Crooner Culture’s Very First Post…
I wish there were more of you now than there was then… but the truth is that I think us crooner lovers are too rare a breed…
Welcome to the latest addition to the b5media network’s Music Channel – Crooner Culture!
This blog is for lovers of crooners as well as the culture surrounding crooners over the years. This is more than just “The Rat Pack” – it’s Bobby Darin to Michael Buble, Paul Anka to Harry Connick, Jr. and Vic Damone to Bing Crosby.
However let’s not forget the ladies of crooning either – Billie Holiday and Nina Simone to Ella Fitzgerald and Norah Jones. And groups? How about The Platters, Righteous Brothers, and Andrew Sisters for starters…
Any of these get your swoon going? If you’re anything like me, I’m willing to bet you’re already humming a tune.
Crooners have a style, a swagger or a sexy hip. The clothes, movies, décor, and even the dances over the years have been inspired by the music of these smooth voiced seducers.
My goal is to explore all of it, and share it here with you. I have a passion for this classic style, and am thrilled to be working with b5media to bring that passion forth.
Now forget the jive, you cool cats and dangerous dames, and let’s swing!
