You can find this Top Ten as a playlist here. That’s Top Ten Tuesday for May 2, 2023.
This was a fun list to listen to. Funny, I never would have thought that the #1 would be that Kaiser song. I do like the song with Sinatra but their voices don’t mesh as well as Nat King Cole and his daughter. Now, yes, Natalie sang it with a lot of help from the tech people dance her dad was long gone by that point but I just don’t think Nancy and Dad S jelled as well.

They can do so much with technology these days. My guess is that, if they still had the masterb tapes from the Frank and Nancy session, they could clean it up, too. the quetion is, would you want to?

Top of the list for me: Engelbert. What a delightfully full and rich voice. Too bad there was always that unavoidable comparison to Tom Jones.
