Other than the obvious Frank Sinatra, Ella Fitzgerald, Louis Armstrong...I"m very weak in this type of music. I really like this Jazzy type of sound and could use your suggestions.

Here is a few of the songs I've put on a playlist I'm building:

1. Frank Sinatra - Fly Me To The Moon
2. Michael Buble - Cry Me A River
3. Ella Fitzgerald & Louis Armstrong - Summertime
4. Louis Armstrong - La Vie En Rose

    Nat King Cole: "When I Fall in Love"
    Dean Martian: "C'est Si Bon", "It had to be you", "By the Time I Get to Phoenix"
    Bing Crosby: "Moonlight Becomes You"
    Perry Como: "Try to Remember"

    And Caterina Velente has a few that I have enjoyed, but I cant remember them off the top of my head. OH! And one of my favorites is "Bushel & a Peck" it is a song that is covered by quite a few crooners in skits... Betty Hutton does a pretty cute version.

    #3 is one of my absolute favorite, probably because I played it once upon a time.

    This is the kinda of music I turn up when I get home from pretending I'm a professional woman in my 2pc suit, kick off heels, make a double martini and chill.
    I have lots at home, I'll post some of my favs later, have a weakness for Buble but not a huge fan of his latest.
    Other than above Miles Davis, Oscar Peterson, Etta James, Billie Holiday, Dinah Washington, John Coltrane, Tony Bennett to name a few more and of course Charles Aznavour (french)

    Well, at one point I learned a sexy dance to this one:

    Bessie Smith- I need A Little Sugar In My bowl

    The link took me to a video of Nina Simone (which I really enjoyed, thank you!). I think I'm gonna have to get me some of her music.

    Bessie Smith's version is even dirtier. ;)
