The guy who sang rockin tunes like "Stay With Me", "True Blue", "Hot Legs", etc suddenly got soft on us w/ those god-awful "standards" albums he put out!. I was embarrassed for him!. A total cash-in move that many others jumped the bandwagon on!.
I'm so glad that trend is over!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

I don't know if it qualifies as "crooning" exactly, but I was impressed by Sting's Songs from the Labyrinth!. The album is comprised of faithful renditions of songs by English composers from the 1500s/1600s!. Www@Enter-QA@Com
I think you're either a rocker or not!. I would never cross over into anything else!. I think people who cross over were lost in the first place, and later found themselves!. Www@Enter-QA@Com
I think Brian Setzer's big band stuff was not nearly as good as his early rockabilly stuff with the Stray CatsWww@Enter-QA@Com
