Have you ever heard Perry Como? If not, you missed something wonderful. 22:27 - Sep 28 with 4148 views

I remember as a youngster [that's a long time ago] that Perry Como was one of my father's favourites. He never missed one of Perry's shows if he could help it. He referred to hm affectionately as "The Italian Barber," and reveled in the fact that Perry was also a Pennsylvanian.

Here's one of my favourite songs, made popular by the also-wonderful singer, Don MacLean, here done by Perry Como to the obvious delight of his audience.:

	I don't care. I'm old. I don't have to.

My old man had all his records when I was a kid and I absolutely hated it. I kind of appreciate it today but it's really not my scene like.

Speaking of Don MacLean, here's one of his very best, done for the ages in a duet with the incomparable Chet Atkins.

He was big in the 50's and then made a comeback in the 70's.

I saw him live in Birmingham. Lovely singer and apparently a very decent bloke.

Acquired a Perry Como CD amongst some others I was given. Passed it on to an old peoples home, they'll enjoy it no doubt.

No love for Mario Lanza? Heathens!

Side note, when I first moved to Morriston area about 16 years ago, I went on a night out and ended up at one of the pubs on the roundabout (immediate right as you come from the main street). Now I was drunk, but both myself, and my mate, swear hanging on the wall was a knitted pullover hanging with the sign "Donated by the late great Val Doonican". Bizarre in itself, but he wasn't even dead.

Yeh I appreciate him now. Love that Christmas type German flavoured track he did. It was featured in some sort of spy film I recall. I am showing my extreme ignorance on such matters now.
I like Matt Monroe as well. As good a crooner as any of them.
None of it is my cup of tea but I always find it worth a listen.

Bugger, was scrolling down to seen if anyone had done this. If someone asked me his best song I'd say it's impossible. Delaware was the song I liked and loved his Christmas specials on BBC1 at lunch time on Christmas eve.
