A Portrait Of Arthur Prysock

Yep ! when I first heard this one I thought that "John" had sent me a "Billy Eckstine" by mistake but checking on "Wikie" and reading about him it is the right L/P !!
Its a great set of classic standards sung well !!
 Arthur Prysock Jr. (January 1, 1924 or 1929 – June 14, 1997) was an American jazz and R&B singer best known for his live shows and his baritone, influenced by Billy Eckstine. According to his New York Times obituary, "his heavy, deep voice projected a calm, reassuring virility."

John Primo Gregory (born Primino Giuseppe Giovanni Gregori; 12 October 1924 – 23 April 2020) was a British bandleader who also recorded as Nino Rico and Chaquito.
In the late 1950s, he recorded Latin-flavoured albums as Nino Rico, and then as Chaquito. In 1960, he began to make his own records, with The Cascading Strings, as part of the Philips record label's easy listening albums. More unusual was Melodies of Japan (1963), a reworking of the traditional folk music of the far east.
