<description><![CDATA[Bing Crosby was a revolutionary figure in music -- he adopted singing to the microphone, brought jazz into white pop, and was our first multimedia star (radio, records, movies, TV). He crooned it all -- from Hawaiian to Country --but was at his best on easygoing, improv heavy rhythm tunes. Crosby always paid his respects to Louis Armstrong (and loved working with him) but much of his best jazz recordings are currently out of print. This is a shame because to paraphrase Tony Bennett, Crosby was the first cool white man in American music.

<description><![CDATA[One of the most popular singers of the post-World War II years, Perry Como's vocal style and personal demeanor were always relaxed, unruffled and seemingly untroubled. Como studied the "crooner" style of Bing Crosby and fellow Italian-American Russ Columbo, mellowing it out even further and becoming a beloved presence on radio, record, and television well into the 1960s. Sadly, it's hard to think of another American singer who was as big as Como was, for as long as he was, yet whose recorded legacy has almost completely disappeared from the public consciousness. Though he deserves better, two things have probably kept Como's vast catalogue of songs from seeming relevant decades after they were recorded (the way that Frank Sinatra, Tony Bennett, and Dean Martin's catalogues have). First, Como never fought against the tidal wave of goofy novelty numbers labels and publishers passed his way, so digging out the gems requires some patience. Second, his serene "sailing above the clouds" style lacks the attention to lyrics and the jazz foundation that even Bing Crosby, the king of the lackadaisical crooners, displayed. This is a shame because Como was a very good singer, and much of his material, especially his swing era work, is a whole lot of fun. If all you've heard is "Magic Moments," you may want to check out the fun, Crosby-on-Quaaludes side of the cardiganed crooner, which can be found on such CD reissues as <I>Perry Como With the Fontaine Sisters</I> and the first couple discs in the box set <I>Yesterday & Today: A Celebration in Song</I>.

<description><![CDATA[Forever associated with her perky, Hollywood created "girl next door" image, Doris Day was one of the biggest singers and movie stars of the 1940s, '50s and '60s. A much finer (and jazzier) vocalist than people care to remember, Doris Day started singing professionally with the Bob Crosby and Les Brown big bands while she was still in her teens. Day's pure, unaffected voice (think of a non-scatting Ella Fitzgerald) swung, even on ballads, and she became a star before her fresh-faced beauty helped her land a movie contract. Day's bright appeal developed in Tinsel Town but her movie roles and recordings slowly started to turn into chirpy, upbeat vehicles. Even then, Day still cut good albums it's just that her sugary fluff for Columbia Records sold so well and was so popular with the public that it came to dominate her recording time. Day's vocal purity and her love of swing-era jazz would've found a better home at Capitol Records (home of Peggy Lee, Frank Sinatra and Nat Cole) than Columbia but she was usually just happy to sing anything between movie roles. Every once in a while Day put her foot down and instead of cutting novelty numbers and goofball tunes, she would record fine band sides with Paul Weston and small group jazz sessions with Andre Previn, Harry James and others.

<description><![CDATA[The songs Patti Page sang may have mostly consisted of novel standards and Vocal-Pop Standards, but it was her seductive and playful voice that seemed to woo the original cocktail generation. Whether she was doing childlike inflections on "(How Much Is) That Doggie In The Window" or romantic escapism as heard on the household hit "Tennessee Waltz," Page's voice displayed a versitility that has influenced many female singers to this day. Although she stopped recording in 1968, she continued to perform into the 1990s, and over the course of her career, Page has sold more than 100 million records.

<description><![CDATA[The Mills Brothers brought astoundingly intricate harmonies to the masses during a four decade run. This brother (and father) act recreated instruments with their voices and kept shifting the vocal textures behind each other. Their heyday spanned from the 1930s to the mid-'60s, during which time they went from being a cutting edge jazz act to a classy, MOR group. Their monster hit, "Paper Doll," sold over six million copies in the space of a few weeks and is still in heavy rotation on oldies stations. The Mills Brothers had a direct influence on Doo-Wop but were always in their own, unique genre.

<description><![CDATA[Vaughn Monroe led a sweet big band during the '40s -- a rarity for a vocalist at that time. His baritone croon sent a heap of recordings onto the charts but his vocal style was so unswingingly square that he made Perry Como sound like a feverish hepcat. During the '50s he made a surprising about-face and successfully retooled himself as a Country singer. Like such cowboy converts as Bing Crosby and Dean Martin, Monroe really sounded like he was sitting around a campfire singing to his horse under a canopy of stars.

<description><![CDATA[The Spaniels were one of the most well-rounded Doo-Wop groups during the 1950s. They excelled at street-corner harmonies but drew considerable inspiration from such past Vocal group masters as the Mills Brothers and recorded a wide spectrum of harmony-filled pop music. Sha Na Na did a note-for-note cover of their biggest hit, "Goodnight, Sweetheart, Goodnight."

<description><![CDATA[Though today he seems almost as square as Pat Boone, Frankie Laine was one of the biggest chart-toppers of the early 1950s. He had hits with every conceivable kind of material -- Big Band, ethnic folk, Rockabilly, and Gospel. In the '60s, he became a country and western sensation in Europe.

<description><![CDATA[At the dawn of the 20th Century, Al Jolson ushered in the age of the media superstar. He ruled stage, records, and screen with the first crossover talking picture, <i>The Jazz Singer</i>, but his over-the-top style went out of fashion following the commercial ascent of Louis Armstrong and Bing Crosby. He earned a new audience by tirelessly entertaining the troops during WWII, and by his old LPs being name-dropped as the collector's <i>ne plus ultra</i> on <i>Seinfeld</i>.

<description><![CDATA[While Danny Kaye's movies are fun, and all contain brilliant bits, almost none of them show what this comedian was capable of. Kaye worked on his unique physical humor and song skills while performing in Asia in the 1940s. Songs like "Madame I Love Your Crepe Suzette" featured sly English lyrics, but even foreign audiences found them hilarious. Kaye was such a good musician that he could work rapid-fire send ups of highbrow musical genres with a mixture of foreign accents and half gibberish vocals and find favor with both café society and the beer-hall crowd. Likewise, he could perform an extended scat duet with Louis Armstrong in <i>Five Pennies</I> and then turn around and sing "Inch Worm" for the playground set. Danny Kaye was irreplaceable.

<description><![CDATA[Smith, who has often been compared vocally to the late great Patsy Cline, was one of the most successful female country artists of the 1960s and early '70s. She is a prime example of the Nashville Sound, and many of her records were produced by Nashville Sound architect Chet Atkins. Her first record went to No. 1 in the country charts, and she stayed near the top for most of the '60s. When her star began to fade somewhat, she launched a new and successful career as a Gospel singer.

<description><![CDATA[Nelson Eddy was the original singing Royal Canadian Mountie, and one of the biggest stars of the 1930s. His swell baritone and a wooden acting style bounced effectively off his partner of song and screen, Jeanette MacDonald.

<description><![CDATA[If you are planning to woo any widows on the French Riviera, you better slick back your hair, wear a red velvet smoking jacket and carry around a few Tino Rossi 78s. Rossi equaled continental amour in the 1930s, and his light, romantic sound has aged as well as Catherine Deneuve.

<description><![CDATA[Maurice Chevalier knew he wasn't the greatest singer in the world, but he had such charisma and eye-twinkling charm that he became France's biggest vocalist of the 1920s and '30s. He was also a major Hollywood star and most Americans know him for his roles in <i>Love in the Afternoon</i> and <i>Gigi</i>. On both screen and in song, Chevalier's whimsical yet wise persona delighted fans worldwide for close to forty years. Who else but Maurice Chevalier could have sung "Thank Heaven for Little Girls" with such simultaneous irony and knowing innocence?

<description><![CDATA[Belter Kate Smith was an American institution in the 1930s and '40s and recorded frequently with Guy Lombardo (whose square sound suited her well) before moving into television in the '50s. Smith even sounded anachronistic during the height of her considerable popularity. This was a big part of her charm -- in an era when Bing Crosby and Louis Armstrong were joking, scatting and tossing hip lingo at one another, Smith was there to sing "God Bless America" and make everyone feel that the world wasn't changing so much after all.

<description><![CDATA[Eddie Cantor was one of the fearless founders of modern American entertainment. He ruled theatre, radio and film during the Roaring '20s and the Great Depression of the '30s before easing into television work after World War II. Though his singing style has gone the way of the giant river otter, his wild antics remain very influential -- even if today's comedy and rock stars don't know Eddie Cantor from Cantor's Deli. On the humanitarian front, Cantor co-founded the March of Dimes, which helped fund the fight against polio.

<description><![CDATA[Born of humble origins in England, Noel Coward went on to beat the British upper crust at their own game. Coward was a tireless sophisticate and all around Renaissance man -- he wrote witty plays that are still widely performed, penned short stories, acted regularly, directed films, and wrote literally hundreds of great songs. Coward had a crisp, stiff-upper-lip delivery that worked best when delivering such sly works as "Beatnik Love Affair" and "Why Do the Wrong People Travel." The original Brit popper, much of his material doesn't translate when performed by Americans; but many of his songs (such as "I'll See You Again," "If Love Were All," and "Mad About the Boy") are aching laments that have become popular with American jazz and Cabaret singers. Coward, often clad in a velvet smoking jacket and ascot, wrote the play <i>Design for Living</i>, a title which sums up his life. He designed a life for himself that is so much richer than anyone today would have expected -- which explains why the English are now in the middle of another Noel Coward revival.]]></description>
