| | Heart Beats: Closer Than a Kiss: Crooner Classics - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect |
 | | To use the title of two Jackie Gleason albums, this CD is music to make you misty and for lovers only. | | | Crooner classics are the soft sounds of tender vocals, ones that convey a powerful intimacy with or without lush orchestrations. | | | None of the songs here have the up-tempo swing of some famous tracks by Sinatra, Dean Martin, or Louis Prima. |

| | Crooner - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | A crooner is a singer (usually male) of a certain kind of popular music, often called "standards" or "American standards". | | | After that time, popular music became dominated by other styles, such as rock 'n' roll. | | | While both male and female singers sang in this style, the term "crooner" is rarely used to describe a female singer. |

| | Elvis Costello, Crooner - On his new album, the angry rocker turns into a lovelorn balladeer. By Elena Passarello |
| | Elvis Costello, Crooner - On his new album, the angry rocker turns into a lovelorn balladeer. | | | North might be an awkward transition into the world of a crooner, but Costello sings with such an awareness of his own voice that some of these awkward moments are the ones most worth a listen. | | | Costello's voice, which began a quarter-century ago with terse shouts to pump things up, now sports the awareness of an evolving balladeer: He's chosen the crooner's palate of vocal precision, lyrical grace, and world-weary charm over the intensity, irreverence, and irony of a rocker. |

| | Driving pop songs that don't insult your intelligence and are nevertheless honest and real(You can chew your gum and listen to CROONeR all at the same time!) Tales of infatuation, heart-ache, missed chances, alien-kidnappings and Parker Posey are only a few topics that turn into songs when CROONeR adds their distinct melodic stylings and arrangements. | | | Born and bred in Hollywood,ca, Christopher decided to go his own musical path when he realized that there was no place for his particular style of songwriting in the prior bands that he was involved with. | | | They are filled with a unique sense of humor which takes the dullness out of the pop songs but does not sacrifice the simplistic truth of one. |

| | In June 1932, Crosby quit CBS and moved back to California, while Columbo began switching his focus to road tours with an orchestra that for a time included Benny Goodman. | | | But it was a fight that would not go the distance, a fight that was over even before Russ Columbo's best friend accidentally fired a bullet into Columbo's brain on Sept. 2, 1934, making the young singer's most prominent legacy a spot on the list of American idols who lived fast and died young. | | | By the end of 1931, his show was said to be exceeding expectations, while Crosby's was falling short. |
