Which may be soon, as I don't know as much about this era. I hope pbrower can help fill us in.
Meanwhile, this academy award winner and big 1950 #1 hit by the greatest singer ever (who was also a great jazz pianist).
I like "Take Five." It is one of the most popular jazz tunes from that era.
And Nat King Cole was a great singer, of course. One of my mother's favorites, I believe. I think pretty much everyone liked him back in the fifties, and he is fondly remembered today.
