Hi gang! Here's my first 2021 thanksgiving present I guess. It came today from a super singer from LA. We promoted Gretje Angell last June. OK Gretje who ...? Please just listen to and look at this vid. Her looks might be a little distracting towards Gretje's best and strongest quality; her singin' 😉

THE VERY BEST CHRISTMAS CD OF 2021! With all respect to others we promote and will promote in coming weeks, Brett Eldredge's 'Mr. Christmas' cd made us all very happy. Superb voice, fantastic orchestra, and exclusive arrangements on this one. Of course, not all songs do fit in our format but most of them do.

Brett originally is a country singer from Paris Illinois and was nicknamed 'Mr. Christmas' a few years ago by DJ Bobby Bones during his radio show after 'Glow'his fist Christmas cd. You can hear this very moment during the special jingle we made for this top album! 😎🤩🥳🥰🎼🎹🎤

PAM GARNER! Another name of a great singer you probably forgot. Her album 'Sings Ballads For Broken Hearts' from 1960 is interwoven with strings and has the excitement of a first-class rhythm section, and along with the freewheeling improvisation provided by Jack Sheldon’s trumpet, the beat and the lightness of jazz are always present.

Pam’s creamy voice is as expressive and surprising as a jazz solo. The accompaniment Johnny Williams devised for Pam expresses her style exactly. Pam can also be heard soon on our station's playlist! 🎼😉🎵😘

GOOD NEWS! We ran into a long list of rare and nice American Songbook Singers who are totally forgotten these days. One of them is Tony Travis. Currently, we are checking two albums by Tony. "Come Swing With Me"(1958) and this one "I See Your Face Before Me" (1956).

In the summer of 1954, Tony Travis launched his recording career as a singer with a single for RCA Victor which included It’s Easier Said than Done. His Sinatra-ish reading soon attracted deejays, and by 1955 he was performing around the country in a promotional tour with TV appearances. By November he was being heralded as “4th Most promising male vocalist” on Billboard’s Disk Jockey Poll. Right until the end of 1956 he recorded several more singles for RCA, as well as the LP “I See Your Face Before Me”

March 1961, so exactly sixty years ago, this Ruth Price album was recorded live at Shelly Mann's famous Jazz club in Hollywood. Among others, pianist Russ Freeman & trumpeter Conte Candoli were members of this Manne's Quintet. The club was called 'The Manne Hole'. If the album cover feels like art to you, I assure you that Ruth's 'live' renditions are even better. So a selection of renditions from this album can be heard on our playlist soon. 🙃🤩❤🎤🎹

Hi All! I hope you'll have a nice Sunday! Today we celebrate the birthday of Rosemary Clooney; what a super great singer she really was! Her renditions do fit perfectly in our station format. I'm not exaggerating when I tell you that Rosie has about 260 different songs in our playlist. Only Sinatra tops that number ;-) A spoken introduction by Nancy Valentine can be heard six times during this day at a quarter to the hour. ❤😘🙃🤩🥳🥳So Happy Birthday Rosie!

I always get lovely, reminiscing, positive reactions about the vintage commercials we do here once an hour. We do anything in that genre as long as they are sung or funny. 😁 Gisele MacKenzie & The Melloman even made a whole complete two-minute song about this car product on their album 'The Best Things In Life Are Free' The 1953 Buick Roadmaster 4 Door Sedan is shown on the picture here and you can listen to the song.

Good morning! We're glad to see that the number of East Coast fans still is growing! Maybe other websites helps us reaching more. Our stream for instance also is forwarded by mytuner-radio.com. On their website we raised to number 135 out of 1102 top New York radio stations. A nice gadget on our page at their website is how our playlist is represented. Again one one white dot can represent more than one listener. And for privacy reasons we blurred the origal IP addresses of our listeners.

But most of all; thank you for listening! ❤🤩🎼😁

Gisele MacKenzie (1927-2003) To paraphrase Einstein: "The more I know about American Songbook Songs and their performers, the more modest I get". Today I discovered the work and voice of Gisele MacKenzie. What a joy to listen to her! Gisele's singing reminds me of another super famous female singer, yet she keeps her individuality. From tomorrow on you can hear a selection of her work in our 24/7 stream :-) ❤🙂🎼🙃😘🥃

Today we acquired a lot of albums by the legendary Jimmy Roselli. Jimmy was one of the most significant Italian-American pop singers of his time, during an era of competition from such performers as Frank Sinatra, Tony Bennett, Dean Martin, Perry Como, Frankie Laine, Vic Damone, Al Martino, and Jerry Vale.

Jimmy had brown eyes! And was widely known as the other crooner from Hoboken, who spent his life in the long, slim shadow of Francis Albert Sinatra. But in many traditional Italian-American communities in the Eastern United States, he was as fiercely venerated as Sinatra, if not more so. Anyway I do expect you'll soon hear more renditions by Roselli when you listen to our stream 🙃🎼😉😁😎🤓
