Oh geez, I'm listening to 'Nouveau Flamenco', Ottmar Liebert, right now.

And his signature, "Moon River", is such a classic from the famous crooners of that vintage. What I still admire about his performance is that it was capable of such real vocal beauty and portrayal of feeling, which, to me, seemed credible & approachable (as distinguished from overdone & cheesey). He's a great example of a memorably gifted and accomplished popular vocal performer. |

His recording of the Calvinist hymn "Morning Has Broken" is absolutely beautiful. And while his cover of Sam Cooke's "Another Saturday Night" doesn't threaten the original, it is a fresh take on a great song. |
