This is a compilation that was distilled from what was originally a 23 song mix that I made in mid 2008. I reduced it to about a one half hour group of songs that I believe will keep the listener entertained. Most of the vocalists are female, with 3 to every 1 of the male vocalists (the later as bookends). The outliers, or songs not in the range of most (1946-1963), are tracks 2 (1938) and 6 (1973). This is accompanying my Christmas CD that I'm sending out to about 16 people this year (to post that other mix in about a week)..

Great stuff Joe! I heard Della doing Puccini and Deodato doing Strauss, so presumably they all have classical roots?
Thanks so very much Mixxer, I am so glad that this has been well received here; it was a pleasure to make and share it. I think that at least as important as who did the song was 'how' they did the song. Nobody that I can think of could surpass the performance of Jo Stafford singing 'No Other Love'; which is done in such a haunting fashion (not to mention it matches well with the Sinatra at the end).. Thanks Mixxer, once again, Retro
