| 493291 | 2007-08-03 15:47:00 | Right now listening to (you got me started on Hendrix this AM) 1983..(A Merman I Should Turn To Be) | SurferJoe46 (51) | ||
| 493292 | 2007-08-04 01:39:00 | Hi Joe, Have I posted in this thread yet? Jack p.s.(A Merman I Should Turn To Be)? I suppose that's better than, E. Merman I should be. I can't imagine Hendrix as Ethel Merman. |

| 493293 | 2007-08-04 05:35:00 | Hi Joe, Have I posted in this thread yet? Jack p.s.(A Merman I Should Turn To Be)? I suppose that's better than, E. Merman I should be. I can't imagine Hendrix as Ethel Merman. Giving away age clues there, Jack. .. I doubt that the youngies here have the faintest idea what Ethel Merman sounded like. But she's certainly on my list of "always identifiable" voices. And when I think of that list, there's nobody "recent" on it. So - to help Joe's thread along ( & see if anyone can always identify any of today's vocalists?), here's my quick off-the-top-of-my-head list: (Solo artists only - not groups) Ethel Merman Louis Armstrong Bing Crosby Peggy Lee Jimmy Durante Dean Martin Frank Sinatra Rosemary Clooney Joan Baez Al Jolson Perry Como Julie Andrews Gene Pitney Judy Garland Kate Bush Frankie Lane Tex Morton Harry Seecomb See? Some are retired, but most are dead. |

| 493294 | 2007-08-04 06:02:00 | Ethel Merman; "The Mouth That Floated Broadway" Louis Armstrong; The Official UN Peace something or other Bing Crosby; Known child and wife beater, drunkard Peggy Lee; manic-depressive with a death wish and acute alcoholic Jimmy Durante: just a guy who got his schnoz in the right place at the right time . Dean Martin; probably the MOST talented person on this list Frank Sinatra; acute nihilist/misogynist and alcoholic Rosemary Clooney; as a chid was ADD and born to an alcoholic father/mother . Purported to have had a "love child" with Bing Crosby on their "road trips" together in Ireland . Joan Baez; decent singer, although not controversial, her darkness makes her "mysterious" Al Jolson; never saw anything in him Perry Como; crooner au-natural . smooth and smokey voiced . Julie Andrews; low self esteem as shown in the movie SOB where she went topless . . . Imagine . . Mary Poppins topless! Gene Pitney; perhaps the most homely but best voiced singer of crescendo music where the end is several octaves higher than the beginning . Judy Garland; daughter of alcoholic schizo-mother, also partook . Totally wasted, over-hyped singer of no talent . Most performances she was sloshed . Kate Bush; did you mean Kate Smith? Now she was a "great" singer if you catch my drift . Always sang sappy nationalistic and choking-in-the-throat "momma" and "I love my child" stuff . Frankie Lane; just a natural singer who, although not trained in voice, had a unique sound that got trained and therefor worse as he aged . Tex Morton: who? let me Google him . . . . Ah! As a runaway child who attempted to join the circus, he gets popped by the fuzz and later (1937) falsely claiming he sang on Australian radio circuit, twanged some US hillbilly music and parlayed it into a paycheck . Harry Secomb; must be more local UK/Aus/NZ talent . Aha! Wiki says: Welsh/humorist/tenor of good repute . Reported to have found great humor in the loss of an artillery piece in WW-II where he coined his first punch line: "Has anyone seen a gun?" |
