Youtube threw this up while I was looking for something else.

I've never heard of him. He's been and gone and I missed him. What a voice.

Off to find some more of his stuff

His album with John Coltrane is great. I think the most well know song on that is "My One and Only Love".

Fantastic singer - how can someone that good be virtually unknown? See if you can find the Boston concert tracks.

I must have heard him without knowing who it was.

He's all over the soundtrack.

I mentioned the Boston concert partly because some pf the tracks have him introducing the songs. He also had a marvellous speaking voice - a great singing voice and a great speaking voice don't always go together. He could have made a fortune as a voice-over artist!

He works the audience brilliantly - I'll try to put a couple of the tracks up on YouTube and post the link.
