More Singers

Okay, these singers came to mind while reading/thinking/talking about my last post.

Max Raabe

This is a german singer who does 30's songs - in both German and English, in true 1930s style.

His english inflection is REALLY good. I love the showmanship from 30's music, and the sound. . .its just so vibrant and lively, and makes you want to get up and dance.

This is an example of his singing in English. I like it, but its not my favorite English singing that he has done. Saving the best for last here ;)

Max Raabe has also done a series of remixes of "modern" songs done over in a 30's jazz/swing/club style of music. A number of them I like better re-done in 30s style then I do the original songs. . . . .

And, another 80s throwback here, Scatman John.

I love his singing and the video because its just. . .totally random, but it somehow seems to all make sense at the same time.

I think that he was the first artist to combine scat singing with modern music, and I just love the fusion that came from it.
