Question

[ChopperX]

Hi, since I think that you all have much more music knowledge and know way more songs than I do, could someone please tell me the names of songs that are like (The singing of): Crazy Little Thing Called Love from Michael Bublé? Help would be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks in advance,

Chopper

Not sure I understand the question. But "Crazy Little Thing Called Love" is Queen.

[ChopperX]

Yes, I can't really explain it well

But I mean the singing style, like the low voice etc. You know?

I went to the guy's site and listened to some of the new cd.

From what I hear you would look for a Tom Jones or Wayne Newton.

[ChopperX]

Thanks Shawn, I'll try to get some songs of them :]

But aren't there some uhm.. younger songs / artists like it?

[method77]

what Shawn said and add Tony Bennett, Harry Connick Jr, Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin

[method77]

younger ones are Matt Dusk and Peter Cincotti

[ChopperX]

Ok, thanks Method77, I think that I've got enough names now :]

[rainbowdemon]

In that vein, John Mayer should work.

Last question:

Are there artists with this type of voice that have non-jazz / swing or anything related kind of songs except for Tom Jones? Most of the songs I downloaded from the artists mentioned in this thread is the jazz type of music and since I'm not really a jazz singer.. :p

Most of those singers, I would classify as 'crooners'.

They tend to lean towards a mellower, more romantic sound. Bennett, Martin, Sinatra, Connick, and the like, sound best when they have a lot of accompaniment, (i.e., piano, brass, strings).

Martin and Sinatra are my favorites, with Martn getting the nod over Sinatra. Here are some that are easy to get.

Sinatra:

Fly Me To The Moon

I've Got You Under My Skin

Luck Be A Lady

Swing on a Star

Martin:

You're Nobody Till Somebody Loves You

Sway

Return To Me

Besame Mucho

you can also include Johnny Mathis, Andy Williams, Bing Crosby (although he's a bit before all these others). there are lots of guys who sing this sort of genre. I'll have to look some up.
