Current "Vocal-pop", "Traditional Pop" singers??


Lately, I've been listening to late 50's-mid 60's vocal pop singers, Sinatra, Andy Williams, Johnny Mathis, Julie London, Peggy Lee,

is anyone else a fan? any other's that you listen to, I might have missed?

I just love that genre of music...the orchestrations...the way the singers could sing a range of material, and it was always polished and sophisticated

who are some current sings who you think carry that sound? I would say Buble', Diana Krall, Steve Tyrell, Jane Monheit

who are some other current singers, you think fit that mold?

I love traditional pop and there are too many artists to name but I especially love Ella Fitzgerald (her Gershwin album with Louis Armstrong is sublime), Garland and Streisand. I also enjoy Julie Budd and Linda Eder.

Some of my favorites from the 50's and 60's include The Four Lads, Frankie Laine, Johnny Ray, Jo Stafford, Patti Page, Teresa Brewer, Tony Bennett, and one of my most favorite of the current singers is Harry Connick Jr.

I agree with carolinakid that there are truly too many to name when it comes to great music of the 50s and 60s.
