Thought I'd share a thought with you.
I use the internet a lot for entertainment. Use you tube to watch stars in their prime singing. For example Dene Martin, Frank Sinatra, Ella Fitzgerald, Eartha Kitt.
All super stars in their day. We remember them at their best.
Yet little or no credit is given to the composers, the song writers the musicians, without whom the singer wouldn't have a job.

I think credit is usually given on CDs/DVDs. It is those who put it on you tube who should give the credit I think.

Sinatra for me..I like all others mentioned,but Frank has the ease and phrasing that he practised ,apparently under water to perfect his lung capacity.
Ella Fitzgerald is also a favourite.

Meant to add...the composers ,Irving Berlin,Cole Porter,George Gershwin,wrote some lovely tunes that will last long after a lot of today's pop music!

Have you looked at BBC local radio around the country.

Here is just 4 programmes we listen to. If you don't like the times you have 30 days on i player radio for playback of the programmes.

Saturday night on BBC Radio Cumbria 22.00-- midnight Ann Hopper

Sunday all BBC

Radio Tees Vintage Vinyl Colin Bunyan 14.00 - 17.00

Radio Lancashire Unforgettable Gerald Jackson 16.00 - 18.00

Radio Manchester Unforgettable Gerald Jackson 22.00 - midnight.

The last 2, although called the same and the same style, the 2nd is not a repeat of the 1st programme.
