| | Hands on Centrozoon |
| | Opening with the aptly titled Pop Killer, Synapscape showcase a new intricacy to their own sound as they incorporate elements of breakcore and glitch into their disassembling of Centrozoon’s music, particularly the crooning voice of their newfound singer Tim Bowness. | | | The final track, Bigger Space, then presents the EP’s most overtly commercial piece – the most prominent elements being the repetitive 4/4 beat of a bass drum and the soulful crooning of Bowness. | | | Show of Exaggeration” release on The Rectrix saw respective members Phillip Münch and Bernhard Wöstheinrich create some nightmarish, dark soundscapes; on this release, however, they both return to their forte of up-tempo, driving beats and industrial sounds. |

| | Bing Crosby 's crooning displaced Vallee's, forcing Vallee into more screen work, which he did before and after enrolling in the Coast Guard and leading their band through WWII. | | | He became a band leader in New York City, and began his crooning career on a weekly radio show. | | | After WWI, Hubert Prior taught himself saxophone by listening to recordings of Rudy Wiedoelft. |

| | ESPN.com - A Pittsnoglian weekend! |
| | You'd be glazed over during a commercial break, wondering how Tubby Smith would X and O the next possession, or how your bracket hinged on North Carolina fighting off the never-die Wisconsin Badgers, and there would be Rucker, crooning in that white cowboy hat and purple blouse. | | | – in a tie game in overtime was the continuing, odd sight of Darius Rucker crooning about the ubiquitous Tender Crisp Bacon Cheddar Ranch. | | | Then again, Blood, Sweat and Tears also sang about the need to "ride a painted pony/Let the spinnin' wheel turn," so perhaps they had other, hallucinatory issues on their mind outside of Rajon Rondo's inability to get a shot off in an 81-81 tie and 25 seconds left on the clock. |

| | Nick Lowe |
| | Clearly, the album has a more vocal emphasis, a more crooning style than Nick's been associated with in the past. | | | Lowe switched gears fairly radically with 1994's Impossible Bird, trading the big beat for a subtler, but no less enchanting, crooning country style. | | | Thankfully, Lowe is beyond writing "hits," or at least songs that he thinks will have a commercial impact, and spent the last years constructing an album of low-key country/pop/soul gems. |

| | MOTION PICTURE SOUNDSTAGE album review |
| | "Goodnight Sweetheart" is a crooning song driven by a slow dance rhythm. | | | His use of vocal dynamics moving from crooning to torch song and concluding in a falsetto, whilst observing the dance motif is seductive. | | | "Pennies From Heaven" is a song in the same mould as "Hooray for Love/ Youre A Sweetheart" - upbeat and breezy with a jazz flavour. |

| | Frank Stallone In Love in Vain |
| | Its not quite clear why Frank Stallone has chosen to pursue classic big-band crooning, nor is it immediately apparent whether his is purely a project of nostalgia or something more ambitious. | | | Or perhaps what Stallone reveals is that every era has its context, and though supplanted by modern tempos, styles, and turns of phrase, the insights of yester-year often parallel the artistic and emotional discoveries of today. | | | With this album Stallone has provided something rare: a musical outing firmly entrenched in the styles, modes, and tonal decour of a bygone era which somehow simultaneously embraces the pleasures of nostalgia and the joys of resurrection. |

| | Amazon.ca: DVD: Nancy Sinatra: Movin' With Nancy |
| | From the very first glimpse of those legendary boots stepping out the front door, to the recording studio where we witness daddy Frank crooning a tune as only he can, to an abandoned amusement park that comes alive by Nancy's presence, "Movin'" is a fantastic, exciting hour of entertainment. | | | The results are intriguing: for Sinatra's fans, the chance to see her in all her leggy, miniskirted glory will be irresistible, but amateur pop sociologists will be at least as fascinated by the period details and some unwittingly bizarre undercurrents. | | | For the putative teen viewers of the day, there's the psychedelic montage of "Some Velvet Morning," one of several duets with Sinatra's frequent partner at that time, Lee Hazlewood (a country-tinged, B-team Sonny to her blonde variation on Cher), interweaving the two singers on horseback and making much out of bewildering references to Phaedra. |

| | There he was fledged on the folk music of his parents harmonizing and picking on acoustic guitars, or gathering around the family piano crooning out old-time folk songs and hymns. | | | Francis was born in Harlem and raised in a rural town in Southeast Pennsylvania. | | | Growing up with his admittedly hip parents who were constantly playing soul records by Otis Redding, Aretha Franklin, and Gladys Knight and The Pips, it was not long before Gaines decided he wanted to make music of his own. |

| | He also became co-owner of the DEB label, successfully producing Junior Delgado among others."With a no-nonsense, straight-ahead style, Brown was capable of wrapping a love song in a crooning caress or inciting a crowd (as he did memorably at the 1983 Sunsplash in Montego Bay) to heights of uncontrolled hysteria. | | | He made a series of albums for Joe Gibbs and had a U.K. hit with his classic "Money in My Pocket" the first of three incursions into chart territory. | | | In the '70s he freelanced between studios before recording his third collection, "Super Reggae And Soul Hits". |

| | Our Gang Follies of 1938 (1937) |
| | Plot Summary: The gang is putting on a show with Alfalfa billed as "King of the Crooners." But Alfalfa abandons the show saying his crooning days are over... | | | Interestingly enough, when MGM bought Our Gang from Hal Roach not six months after this short was produced, they tried a number of time to produce a short to match this one ("Ye Old Minstrels," "Melodies Old and New," "Calling All Kids," etc.) but it never happened. | | | A big-budget musical short that features a floor show in snazzy Club Spanky (thanks to the convenient plot device of having Alfalfa dream the whole thing), "Our Gang Follies of 1938" was the last truly great film in the Our Gang series and the last two-reel comedy Hal Roach would ever produce. |

| | Bryan Ferry Discography |
| | In the late '70s, Roxy regrouped, though Ferry brought his crooning ways with him, creating new romantic music that influenced a new (and arguably more banal) generation of singers. | | | After several albums, Roxy was gone for good, but their latter-day music lived on in Ferry solo albums like Boys and Girls, Bete Noire, and Mamouna. | | | To appreciate the music of Bryan Ferry originally depended on your view of the singer: was he a left-of-center revisionist or simply a frustrated crooner? |

| | The album ends with a charmingly schmaltzy vocal rendition of the title cut, featuring Brötzmann's crooning over the strangled bird cries produced (who knows how?) by Bennink and Van Hove's cocktail piano. | | | "This cooperative trio released a number of albums for FMP in the late '60s and early '70s, and affords the listener a chance to hear a lighter, more playful side of Peter Brötzmann, whose reputation is derived from more extreme and assaultive sessions such as Machine Gun and Nipples. | | | In terms of material to slap on the record or CD player, all of the Milligan writings were recorded by the artist himself as audio books, while the complete history of the Goons on radio has been released more than once in a confusing series of reissues. |

| | If there were an award for best performance, Keys might've won it with her medley, which began with her crooning "If I Ain't Got You" and morphed into a funky duet of "Higher Ground" featuring one of her idols, Stevie Wonder, on piano and Lenny Kravitz (shirtless, but with wings!) on guitar. | | | The Viewer's Choice Award, one of the ceremony's highest honors, went to Linkin Park for their anime video "Breaking the Habit," while another fan-voted award, the MTV2 Award, went to Yellowcard for "Ocean Avenue." "Tony Hawk's Underground" won the new and also fan-voted Best Video Game Soundtrack. | | | No Doubt took home Best Pop Video for "It's My Life," the first award handed out in the main show (by Will Smith and a noticeably thin but warmly welcomed Shaquille O'Neal), along with Best Group Video, the band's third win in that category over the years. |

| | But Junior's voice, both bellowing and crooning, his storytelling lyrics ("Cause yer wanted by the PO-lice and my wife thinks you're dead.") and his rawhide-raw guitar style was raucous country at its spit-finish finest. | | | Half the entertainment at a Junior Brown concert is Brown and his band, but the other half is his custom-made "Guit Steel" &; a double-necked beast that works as both a guitar and a steel guitar — that Brown picks with unequaled expertise. | | | But Junior wouldn't know; he says he doesn't listen to the radio. |

| | In addition to his fiercely twangin' country, western swing, blues-rock and surf vocabulary, Brown has a commanding baritone voice that can go from crooning to gutsy depending on what will best serve his well-crafted, frequently wordplay-laden songwriting. | | | Though the elements of Junior Brown's albums remain consistent from release to release, his remarkably high level of musicanship prevents things from ever becoming predictable or monotonous. | | | It's all Brown's show--the band is there to back up his triple-threat antics. |

| | Brown's singing, casual and with a drawl, was intimate and in the jazz crooning tradition, even if the group's sound was deeply based in blues. | | | One sign of the influence of Brown is that Ray Charles' early recordings are a direct imitation of his style; others are that Frankie Laine and Kay Starr were regulars at Brown's recording sessions, and scores of rhythm-and-blues singers based their careers on his style. | | | Brown was now on his own and virtually unknown as a solo performer. |
