Boy you guys are a bunch of teeny boppers.
How about folks like Jo Stafford, the Mcguire sisters, Roy Hamilton singing my all time favorite song, Unchained Melody. Quite a few years later redone by the Rightous Brothers and a few years later again re:introduced by Leann Rhimes.
Other favorites, Perry Como, Dean Martin, Frankie Lane, der Bingo,
Groups, The Four Aces, The Lettermen, The Hilltoppers, The Platters.
Back to the hot chicks, Kitty Kallen and North Dakotas own, Peggy Lee.
And I must pay homage to my home state, Ohio. A few mile stretch of the Ohio river produced such great singers as Doris Day, Rosie Clooney, Margo Smith, Connie Smith, and Johnny Ace, Pledging My Love, and the artist David Alan Coe who redid the song a few years ago.
And Lord forgive me for all the great ones I forgot. It does not diminish their greatness.
Best wishes, Bill
