Cocktail Hour: Perry Como
Editorial Reviews
<"b00000jpo37499"> Amazon.com
Before there was "laid back," there was Perry Como. And if anyone's vocal delivery could make Bing Crosby's seem jittery and angst-ridden, it was Como's. But his laconic musical persona was a deceptive one; Como possessed an unusually powerful and expressive voice, especially in the upper range. One of the biggest recording stars of the 1940s and 50s (believe in fate? Como was the seventh son of a seventh son), Como had literally dozens of chart hits. This double-disc collection is by no means definitive, but it does compile a generous sampling of live radio recordings, giving listeners a good introduction to the early years and vocal skills of one of America's most successful, if largely underappreciated, pop singers. --Jerry McCulley
