Talk:Crooner

Could Elvis Presley be considered a crooner? While that was not the style he was originally known for, he did record a large number of songs in that style, and many of the men on the list were heavily influenced by Elvis?

In fact the list is bloated, and full of non-crooners. I've pruned a couple of obvious one; I'll go back and cut some more when I have a moment. --Mel Etitis (Μελ Ετητης) 06:10, 30 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]

What about Julius LaRosa? Just asking. Herostratus 05:21, 10 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Glenn Danzig

you have gotta be kidding right?

Crosby

I've just moved the following (edited) comment from the article:

"Bing Crosby was voted "crooner of the century" for the 20 century."

While I don't doubt this in essence, I don't think that we can include it without saying who voted, and in what context. --Mel Etitis (Μελ Ετητης) 20:39, 8 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Rod Stewart

Rod - a crooner? I don't think so. Leave that to the ones who can sing.

Amplification

Why were the references to amplification removed? It was critical to the development of the style. 70.174.143.186 13:30, 25 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Neil Hannon

Could you class Neil Hannon of The Divine Comedy (band) as a modern crooner? A.Grace

The 1990s

An anon removed this section, I replaced it. I can't believe there's no 1980s crooners, though.Rich Farmbrough, 21:43 10 September 2006 (GMT).
