| CD series featuring lounge-style vocalists from the 1950s and 1960s, including Wayne Newton, Bobby Darin, and Mel Torme. From the Ultra-Lounge website: These days,
everybody within
reach of a
microphone calls
themselves a
saloon singer.
Talkshow
tinklers, B-list
belters all lay
claim to the job
description. But
there was a time
(not all that long
ago) when a saloon singer was someone who
actually sang in a saloon. In the case of Las
Vegas, saloon singers sang in the casino bar
and, more importantly, the lounges. Those are the
types of singers on this CD.
Think of this CD as a remake of Ocean's Eleven--
the ultra-hip movie in which the Rat Pack gets
together for one more Vegas caper. Wild, Cool, &
Swingin' assembles a crew of Vegas heavies and
assigns them a mission-- bring back the lounges!
18 of the swingin'est vintage vocals by the kings
and queens of cool. After just one listen, your
fingers will be raw from snapping, your toes will
bleed from tapping and your grinning teeth will
need recapping! |
