Easy Does It IV

I respect vocal/easy listening music’s bottom line which is to provide respite and pleasure to its listeners. Life is hard enough without subjecting yourself to music the World War II generation would consider noise, yet even they needed something to listen to while mixing cocktails to take the edge off. 

Tom Jones

Most of the big names in vocal/easy listening music have passed on but I continue to enjoy them and make new discoveries. I like the way vocal/easy listening artists actually have talent, carry themselves with class, and can make me feel as though they understand my every pain and desire because they have felt it too- and that is what art is all about. Here are some more of my favorites. Enjoy!
