B-Man Posted March 12, 2013 Posted March 12, 2013 Certainly can't argue with any of the great suggestions given. Any male crooner/singer is fine by me I particularly applaud the Mills Brother, Cab Calloway, Louis Armstrong suggestions. Don't overlook Al Jolson or Eddie Cantor, corny to most (going by today's so-called standards), but some really nice music there.
Buftex Posted March 12, 2013 Posted March 12, 2013 Hank Williams Sr....one of the very greatest from any era....
JÂy RÛßeÒ Posted March 13, 2013 Posted March 13, 2013 I still can't believe Hank Jr. came out. He's gay?
Wooderson Posted March 13, 2013 Posted March 13, 2013 I throw this on at work once in a while, always puts me in a solid mood. I believe it's late 50's but I'm not positive. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hB669XXjnUg

Kind of Blue got me hooked on jazz upon that first listen. To think that the whole album was improv is incredible. Amazing album
Jim in Anchorage Posted March 31, 2013 Author Posted March 31, 2013 Wow thanks for all the great posts. This thread should be put in a collection. No Elvis?
boyst Posted March 31, 2013 Posted March 31, 2013 (edited) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=--_AXFcm48o Felt like adding a good song here. Bob Wills from 1940. Some good Texas Swing right there. It is just beautiful - got that Country infused in to Jazz kind of sound. Edited March 31, 2013 by jboyst62
Dibs Posted March 31, 2013 Posted March 31, 2013 (edited) For me.....Hank Williams Jr, early Johnny Cash(both mentioned above).....and this legend are my all time favourite oldies. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iTUKHMlbYGA Edited March 31, 2013 by Dibs
ChevyVanMiller Posted March 31, 2013 Posted March 31, 2013 I know this is from '67, but I hope no one will complain.
