Teen Martin: My Love For What Dean Could Do!
Here I am talking about the great male interpreters of the Great American Songbook and leaving a few out. I've discussed Sammy Davis Jr., Bobby Darin, Tony Bennett, and of course Frank Sinatra but what about the "King of Cool", Dean Martin.
The Art of Live Performance with The Greats!
Tony Bennett:
I have had the honor and privilege of seeing Mr. Bennett twice in the past two years. Both times were incredible experiences. Not only is he the last of the living legends in regards to interpreters of the Great American Songbook but he is a true master of performance and a joy to watch.
