Robert Young

Another one from across the Channel now...first time I have heard this Voice which is strange because although he is now not with us he was popular in the 70's and once again I must have been asleep !!....his voice has been compared to most of the big tenors over the years....Like "Mario Lanza" which I believe sometimes he does sound like him..."Bob" has sent me a couple more so I will be posting them as well .....so have a listen and comments would be cool !!

Paul Anka.

Paul Anka singing his Hit song "My Way" which he wrote the lyrics and other not so well known songs... All of them are written by him  either on his own or with collaborators... he now has a mature voice which comes through even though the picture on the front seems to be from his teenage years !!....Thanks "Bob" !!

Mary O'Hara.

A beautiful clear voice and an ocasional harp sound played by the Singer "Mary O'Hara" is as the L/P is called "Reflections" and you just do that !!....the songs are not well known so no "Hits" on this "Reflective" L/P ....so if you like a nice relaxing feet up eyes closed listening time go for it !!....The "Gem" on this one is "A Friend Of Mine"...great Lyrics !!!

          3. A Friend Of Mine

Rondo Veneziano.

This is the first time I have heard this orchestra and think they are great... and so different combining old and new concepts....I have more from "Bob" so looking forward to hearing them and posting them...in the meantime if you have not heard of this orch do yourself a favour and have a listen !!

Cannon & Ball.

Now we have an English comedy Duo from the 80's popular on TV with their "Cannon & Ball" show !!...as with all the comic duo's shades of "Abbott & Costello" "Laurel & Hardy" Lewis & Martin" was all incorporated in their shows, and this L/P shows that once the comic stints are over both have decent voices...nothing to get exited about but still easy on the ear !!...The "Diamond" in the bundle of songs is definitely "Let Me Rock You"....don't know which one has the "Gravely"voice but it should have been featured more than it was !!!
