[janzman]

..left of the truly original crooners.I can only find four.
Charles Aznavour 88
Tony Bennett 86
Buddy Greco 86
Vic Damone 84

Can anyone think of more

[jno]

I suppose Engelbert could count as one - he wasn't always doing Eurovision stuff.

[mrsmaveric]

is matt munro still with us???

[janzman]

Maybe jno but a decade younger,perhaps a different era all together

[Sipowicz]

Matt Monro, died 1985.

[janzman]

mrsm,the hugely talented Matt Monroe died in 1985 at the tragically foung age of 54

[mrsmaveric]

just googled matt munro im afraid he too,has shuffled off this mortal coil..

[janzman]

>>young<<

[jno]

Engelbert's 76, so a decade younger, but he was singing in the 50s, before he became famous.

Matt Monro died young, in 1985.

[mrsmaveric]

thank you janzman and sipowicz..my mum liked him...

[Sipowicz]

Monro, not munro!

[Brimoan]

Vera Lynn is still alive.

[emmie]

Jerry Dorsey shouldn't be mentioned in the same breath as these great singers.

[douglas9401]

Tom Jones has had his moments.

[MarkRae]

I have to agree. Arnold Dorsey couldn't hold a candle to Matt Monro.

[Caribeing]

Jack Jones , pity there aren't more great crooners I loved Frank Sinatra and Sammy Davis Jnr Dean Martin still listen to them.

[MarkRae]

As far as I'm concerned, it went like this:

Frank Sinatra
Tony Bennett
Matt Monro

and the rest...

[flipnflap]

Val Doonican
Vince Hill
Tony Christie

[emmie]

Frank Sinatra
then all the rest had to catch up

thought Engleberts name was Jerry.

[emmie]

Arnold George, worse still.
