Croon•er (n) ['kru:nər]: a singer, particularly a male one, who sings sentimental songs in a soft, low voice. Decades before Elvis, The Beatles, Michael Jackson, Justin Bieber, or Uncle Gregg captured the hearts, imaginations, and undergarments of a swooning audience, crooners ruled the earth. The term typically conjures up golden throated singers like Bing Crosby, Nat "King" Cole, Tony Bennett, and Mel Torme interpreting the timeless songs of Jerome Kern, Johnny Mercer, George Gershwin, Cole Porter, and Irving Berlin. But one crooner reigned supreme: Ol' Blue Eyes himself, Frank Sinatra. He was "The Voice," possessing an instrument of rare, pure, crystalline perfection, with a phrasing, tone, and ability to charge every word with such emotion that you can palpably sense his audience getting weak in the knees. Never has Sinatra's legendary 1940s performing career sounded as immaculately and pristinely alive as it does on the SING label's recent archival projects: At the Hollywood Bowl 1943-48; Christmas on the Air; and the 5-LP box set Long Ago, Far Away, all lovingly restored and mastered by an award winning team and featuring exquisitely detailed liner notes by no greater authority than record producer, historian, archivist, author of the acclaimed Sessions with Sinatra, and host of the weekly radio show Sinatra Standard Time, Chuck Granata. We are fortunate to have Chuck join us this week to chat about all things Sinatra: the innovative new sets, his important role in pop music's breakthrough, his classic and most underrated albums, and the use of AI for good. And, of course, because O3L is focused on classic alternative music, our lists cover some of our favorite singers who carried on crooning into the '70s, '80s & '90s. Learn more about your ad choices.

Nat King Cole's transition from a respected jazz pianist to a mainstream icon was a perfect storm of technical brilliance, a groundbreaking vocal style, and a persona that radiated "suave sophistication." While jazz purists sometimes lamented his move toward pop, it was his ability to blend jazz's complexity with pop's accessibility that made him a household name. He delivered hit after hit with a penchant for candidates (or entries from) the Great American Songbook. With this in mind, we'll take this week's show in an direction that honors the songs he became most famous for…from Bobby Troup's Route 66 to Billy Strayhorn's Lush Life…covered by others including some rocking tributes, some ballads in the style of country and bluesy soul numbers from Marvin Gaye and Sam Cooke. We don't stop there. Join Dave Stroud for another celebration from a hundred years of America's music

Nat King Cole war ein Superstar, lockerer Swing und samtige Eleganz, das waren seine Markenzeichen, und er hatte eine Jahrhundertstimme, aber Sänger wollte er eigentlich gar keiner sein.
This is a tribute to Bert Kaempfert, German orchestra leader and songwriter who was responsible for some of the biggest and most important songs of the pop era, including signature hits of Frank Sinatra and Wayne Newton. And he had a major impact on the career of the Beatles too.Kaemphert was born in Hamburg in 1923 and studied at the Hamburg School of Music. He formed an orchestra and had his first hit in 1960 with “Wonderland By Night”, which turned him and the orchestra into international stars. In 1961 he launched the recording career of the Beatles when he produced a song called “My Bonnie” for Tony Sheridan and hired the Beatles as the backing band. At the same session he recorded the Beatles first singles, “Ain't She Sweet” sung by John Lennon, and “Cry For A Shadow”, a song composed by John and George Harrison.Kaempfert composed the music to “Strangers In The Night” for Sinatra. Jimi Hendrix worked a bit of that song into his solo in “Wild Thing” at the Monterey Pop Festival in 1967. And Kaempfert wrote the music for the song “Danke Schoen”, which to this day is Wayne Newton's best known song.Kaempfert also wrote the music for the song “L-O-V-E” which was a hit for Nat King Cole, and “A Swingin Safari”, which became the theme song for “The Match Game” on TV. —----------------------------------------------------------- The Follow Your Dream Podcast:Top 1% of all podcasts with Listeners in 200 countries!

Charlie Parker was punk rock before there was punk rock. His bebop was underground music: subversive, intellectual, and a major departure from popular music of the day (think: Nat King Cole, The Andrews Sisters, Perry Como). He was an intellectual heavyweight, nearly untouchable in his technical ability and pushing music to places no one else was daring to go. So where did Charlie Parker with Strings, his most accessible album, come from?It's not Bird going commercial, like some have claimed. Charlie Parker with Strings is an album he fought to make. He loved Bach and Stravinsky (even quoting the opening of Stravinsky's 'Firebird Suite' mid-solo in one legendary performance), and had longed to make a record where his jazz saxophone was accompanied by strings.The resulting record is music's greatest improviser at his best. Jazz pianists Peter Martin and Adam Maness listen to select tracks (like "Just Friends" and "Summertime"), breaking down the theory behind the music to understand what makes this album great. Jazz is the foundation of the most GENIUS music in recent history: Stevie Wonder, Michael Jackson, Joni Mitchell, D'Angelo. In this popular music series, You'll Hear It, Adam and Peter break down the greatest albums of all time. These seasoned jazz pianists bring their deep musical knowledge to every joyful episode to help you hear the hidden qualities that make music AMAZING. You'll never hear music the same way again.Like the jam at the end of the show?

In the second half of our conversation with Nick from Pod of Thunder, we dive deep into music, emotion, and entertainment.We compare the emotional depth of Steve Vai's "For the Love of God" with Joe Satriani's instrumental work, exploring how technical skill alone isn't enough—emotional connection is what separates great performances from legendary ones. We discuss instrumental music's power to convey emotion without words, touching on artists like Nat King Cole and what makes truly vulnerable performances resonate.Plus: Todd's saga with terrible hospital cutlery (it's worse than you think) and a fun debate about movie sequels better than their originals—from Terminator 2 to The Last Crusade.Linktree: https://linktr.ee/seangeekpodcastPatreon: https://www.patreon.com/c/meetthegeeksWe are a part of the Boneless Podcast Network: https://boneless-catalogue-player.lovable.app/Merch:Tee Public: https://www.teepublic.com/seangeekpodcastRed Bubble: https://www.redbubble.com/people/seangeekpodcast/shop@seangeekpodcast on Twitter, Instagram and FacebookMentioned in this episode:New Merch AdAn ad that incorporates Red Bubble and Tee Public

Quelle place pour l'animal et le vivant dans nos sociétés et dans notre alimentation ? Et si l'on faisait voler en éclats la hiérarchie et les « classements » entre les êtres vivants ? Et si l'homme renonçait à l'animal pour se nourrir, y compris les œufs et le lait, nourriture d'origine animale ? L'humanité deviendrait végétalienne, mais est-ce seulement possible ? Choix subi ou choisi, prédéfini Au fil des paradoxes, et idées contradictoires qui ont émaillé le rapport de l'homme à la nature, nous remontons le temps. Après avoir mangé ce qu'il y avait autour dans notre environnement proche, nous avons élevé, transformé, produit ; changé de régime alimentaire, l'abondance et la révolution industrielle ont donné le sentiment à une partie du monde qu'elle pouvait choisir ce qu'elle mangeait ou refuser de manger : luxe ultime. Du végétal pour tous Est-ce seulement possible ? Les surfaces sont-elles suffisantes pour produire pour 8 milliards de mangeurs que nous sommes aujourd'hui ?

Gayle Levant is a remarkable musician. She has been a superstar harpist in records, television and film for more than 60 years. She's played at the Academy Awards show for the past 31 years. Listen to this list of just a few of the artists she's performed with: Liberace, Judy Garland, Nat King Cole, Julie Andrews, Frank Sinatra, The Beach Boys, Lady Gaga and Paul McCartney. She's Barbra Streisand's harpist. And most impressive, she once played the harp on a floating boat at a Las Vegas restaurant.

Multi-platinum recording artist Clay Aiken is back with a stunning new version of the Bing Crosby classic "Do You Hear What I Hear?," the first single from his highly anticipated Christmas album Christmas Bells are Ringing, set to be released on November 22nd. Aiken's unique interpretation infuses the classic carol with his signature vocal warmth and emotional depth making it a song for our times. Written in 1962 by Noël Regney and Gloria Shayne as a plea for peace during the Cuban Missile Crisis, "Do You Hear What I Hear?" is timeless in its message, yet even more resonant today. Aiken reflects, "The whole American political climate over the past few years hasn't really given us much in the way of hope or optimism. As much as I wanted to believe I might be able to make some positive change in that world, I've realized that music often does a better job of that." Produced by Grammy Award-winning producer Ron Fair, "Do You Hear What I Hear?" is the first release from Aiken's first studio album in over a decade, following a hiatus from music which found Aiken running for Congressional office in North Carolina, and raising his now teenage son. The album, Christmas Bells are Ringing, marks a return to the holiday music that solidified Aiken's place as a household name in 2004, when his debut holiday album Merry Christmas With Love broke records, selling nearly 300,000 copies in its first week. That album went platinum, becoming the best-selling holiday album of 2004 and earning Aiken three Billboard Music Awards.The new record boasts fresh takes on holiday staples like Nat King Cole's "Caroling, Caroling" and Paul McCartney's "Wonderful Christmastime", as well as a lush reinvention of "Merry Christmas, Darling" by the Carpenters (one of Clay's musical inspirations) and a show-stopping rendition of "Pure Imagination" which reimagines the Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory classic as a fitting soundtrack for the holiday season. Clay Aiken's rise to stardom began in 2003 as the runner-up on season two of American Idol. His debut single, "This Is the Night" debuted at #1 on Billboard's Hot 100, while his debut album Measure of a Man was certified triple platinum. Aiken has since sold millions of albums, launched national tours, starred on Broadway, and made his mark as a philanthropist and politician.Celebrating the 20th anniversary of Merry Christmas With Love, Clay Aiken's new album, Christmas Bells are Ringing' promises to bring the same joy and spirit to listeners, making it the perfect soundtrack for the 2024 holiday season.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-unplugged-totally-uncut--994165/support.

This Christmas, I thought it would be fun to analyze six popular Christmas songs referencing animals-other-than-humans (mostly mammals who are forced to pull people around the snow in sleds, and then some birds, mainly fowl who are killed and eaten by humans but sometimes avians humans admire for their beauty). The songs are Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer, Run Run Rudolph, Sleigh Ride, Jingle Bells, The 12 Days of Christmas, and Nat King Cole's The Christmas Song. In this 24-minute podcast (originally recorded Christmas 2024), I deconstruct these Christmas songs from a Critical Animal Studies perspective. In other words, as an animal rights activist who is sympathetic to the more-than-human-world and the perspectives and interests of other animal individuals and our shared habitats, I analyze these classic songs and what lessons they teach us about fellow animal species and how we could be more respectful, kind of like those Politically Correct Bedtime Story series that gives you a critical yet humorous perspective on classic tales in Western society. My Radio Free Georgia version of this episode has the license to broadcast these popular songs, but for my podcast friends, I don't have copyright permission to play the songs, so I linked to the youtube versions of the songs in the podcast notes here below. For the recording, I'll put a jingle bell sound in there when you can cue up the songs to play yourself if you want to. But I'll speak the key lyrics dealing with animals that I discuss.

"The falling leaves drift by the window …" as Nat King Cole so brilliantly put it. It is fall after all, and this week we appear to be at maximum color. Such a short time ago the leaves were just coming out, now they are falling. What else could fall? An obvious question! On today's show, we'll discuss a very good article from the recent late summer edition of the CPWA journal called "A Bear Market Survival Kit." Just when you thought it was safe to go outside … here enters the bear, possibly. Given the reality of how high the stock market is, now is a good time to review how to "win the war before the battle is fought." On the other side, Heidi Cartwright will discuss the "Five forces that could stimulate the U.S. economy" and how U.S. economic growth has continuously surprised to the upside. And Nathan will highlight the year-end retirement account planning highlights you'll want to pay attention to and possibly employ for your own best retirement planning by year end of 2025. Can you believe it? Here we are with about nine weeks left in the year. Lastly, Beth will close us out with some great tips to retire by from Warren Buffett along with some interesting factoids to round things out. Let's get crackin! Tune in and take control!
What better way to celebrate 2025 than on the air with the Broadway performer who made it her favorite year: Jasmine Amy Rogers. She joins us for classic songs for the holidays by Nat "King"Cole, the Jackson 5, Eddie Cantor and of course some Boop!
Before the playoffs and point spreads take over, Marc "Moose" Malusis and Nick Kostos take a detour into the festive spirit for a high-stakes Christmas Music Draft. Nick Kostos reveals his "1.01 overall pick" for the greatest holiday song of all time—Nat King Cole's "The Christmas Song"—and explains his meticulous process for building the "definitive" Apple Music holiday playlist. From the "Yacht Rock" vibes of the NFL sidelines to the timeless crooning of Frank Sinatra, Elvis, and Dean Martin, the duo debates which versions of the classics truly reign supreme. Moose throws a curveball with his love for "Do They Know It's Christmas?" (Band Aid), while the guys share how music from the likes of Burl Ives and Mel Tormé helps them survive the high-pressure "minimal sweats" of the betting season. It's a warm, funny, and surprisingly nerdy deep dive into the sounds of the season!

Thanks to our Partner, NAPA Autotech Training and Pico TechnologyWatch Full Video EpisodeIn this episode, Matt shares a personal Thanksgiving story that turned into a real medical emergency. A long-time family friend suddenly becomes unresponsive at the dinner table, and Matt walks through the moment he had to decide whether to act, despite not being “formally” current on CPR.He talks candidly about what it felt like to drag her to the floor, check for breathing, make the call to start chest compressions, hear ribs crack—and then watch her come back. From there, he connects the experience to life in an automotive shop: CPR and first-aid readiness, AEDs, fire extinguishers, panic, freezing, and why “somebody will know what to do” is not a plan.It's a conversation about preparedness, stress, and how our greatest weapon really is the thought we choose when everything suddenly goes sideways.Episode HighlightsOpening with the quote: “Our greatest weapon against stress is our ability to choose one thought over another.”Matt fighting a cold and joking about his “Nat King Cole” voice.Thanksgiving at his parents' house: Family and close friends gathered, including a 75-year-old family friend (“Jane”) who's been part of the family's holidays for years.Jane says she's really dizzy; Matt gets up to escort her to the living room.Her chin suddenly drops to her chest, she becomes unresponsive, cold, and clammy.The decision point:Matt checks for airway, tries to feel for a pulse, listens for breathing—only hears gurgling.Admits he doesn't fully trust his own ability to feel a pulse with his heart pounding.The mental calculus: If you can't be sure, what else is there to do but chest compressions?Starting chest compressions:Dragging her to the floor and focusing completely on her while the rest of the room “disappears.”Locking his elbows, using the beat of “Stayin' Alive” as a guide.First compression: feeling and hearing the sternum/ribs crack—and taking that as feedback that he's at the right depth.Before the second compression, her eyes fly open and she lets out a sound.The immediate emotional whiplash:First feeling isn't relief, but anger and self-doubt: “Did I just overreact?” “Did I crack her ribs for nothing?” “Was this some dramatic hero move I didn't need to make?”Reorienting to the reality that she was unresponsive and now is awake, talking, and oriented.EMS arrives:Very low blood pressure at the house (around 70/40).Hooked up to a 4-lead, showing atrial fibrillation with PVCs.Matt nerds out on the waveforms and explains AFib and PVCs in plain terms.EMTs jokingly ask if he's a doctor because of how well he reads the traces.Later imaging reveals:A cracked or stress-fractured sternum from compressions.Multiple blood clots in her lungs.The doctor tells her that sternum fractures are common with CPR and adds:Don't be mad at him — he saved your life.For Matt, the key relief is not the “hero” label, but confirmation that he did the right thing by acting.Connecting it back to shops and real life:Afterward, Matt starts calling around trying to set up CPR and first-aid training.Hard question: if he drops at the shop, who's going to act?Extending the concern beyond employees: what about customers?Preparedness checklist for shops:Is there an AED on-site, and does anyone actually know how to use it?Has anyone at the shop had recent CPR and first-aid training?Do...
