On the am 740 radio in Toronto, Canada, I have heard a guy sing so beautifully. I had never heard of him before. His name is Keith Berry, from Ontario, Canada. I think they said he has passed away now, but his son is handling his music. He has such a nice mellow voice, and such nice soothing music. One of the songs I have heard is about the old lamplighter, and another song about a woman telling a little seagull to look after husband going out to sea. His voice is one of the richest voices I have ever heard. Unfortunately I have not found him on the Internet. So here are the Browns doing the honors.
About twenty years ago I heard Al Martino for the first time. He was singing: I love you because. I had heard that song by Jim Reeves and Elvis Presley when I was young, but I really love the way Al Martino does it. I love that high harmony that those ladies sing. That is so special. I also love his version of Blue Spanish Eyes. It is sad to hear he passed away recently.
Dean Martin is a real smooth singer. I guess his most famous song is: Ev’rybody loves somebody sometimes. He seems such a laid back easy going kind of a person. One of his trademarks is that he is supposed to be half drunk all the time. I heard recently that he actually had apple juice in his glass when he performed with Frank Sinatra. I wasn’t in America when his TV show was on, but I have seen Regis advertising the sale of them on TV, and they look very entertaining. All the famous old-timer’s on one show.
This song by Frank Ifield was a big hit when I was a kid. Our city had a train station that once boasted the longest train station in the world, or something like that. Bulawayo, Rhodesia. We often traveled with the train, and it always felt so exciting.
Years ago I sang and played with an old timers band, and this is one of the songs they did. I like the power point of Marty Robbins, so I have put this version in.
I heard this song originally by Harry Belafonte, but I like the power point presentation by Marty Robbins. This is one of my favorite love songs when I play the keyboard, with the fancy beats.
I have just found this song, so I must add it on here. It brings back memories of Uvongo (in Natal) where we used to go on holiday. Above the falls, people would be cruising in their boats.
A LOT OF THE SONGS I HAD LISTED HAVE BEEN REMOVED FROM THE NET.
