Sinatara, Dean Martin, Sammy Davis jr etc

again I wasn't sure where to put this, jazz? pop? whatever. I just stuck it here. Can anyone recommend me more singers like these guys?

I'd call them vocal jazz, torch/chamber music or something like that. I'm no expert though, so don't take my word for it. General Music'll do for this thread anyway.

Nat King Cole and Ella Fitzgerald are a couple of favourites of mine in this field - you should think about checking them out sometime.

My Way was my grandad's funeral song.

I grew up listening to a bit of Sinatra.
The mother had a couple of his CDs, listened to him in the car now and again.

I don't listen to him now, not really me thing. But the mythology surrounding Sinatra has always interested me.

I think Tony Bennett fits in this genre!
