100 Hits Of The Great Crooners Compilation
100 Hits Of The Great Crooners
Compilation
Once upon a time it was virtually unheard of for musical performers to
write their own songs. That was the province of a separate breed, the
professional songwriters who worked for music publishers in New York's
Brill Building, or else touted their wares down the Tin Pan Alleys of the
world. Essential to the whole process were the vocalists, because
someone had to sing the songs. These were often under contract with a
specific dance band. In the parlance of the day, these singers were often
referred to as 'crooners'. The hundred tracks on this 4-CD set are mostly
drawn from the 1950s and early 1960s - largely a mixture of standards
from the pens of classic songwriters like Cole Porter and George
Gershwin, as well as showtunes taken from musicals like My Fair Lady
and Showboat.
