Dick Haymes
The Very Best Of, Volume 2

Description

Dick Haymes stands as one of the most gifted vocalists to emerge from the golden age of the American popular song, his warm, resonant baritone drawing frequent comparisons to Frank Sinatra and Perry Como. This second volume in the Very Best Of series on CD continues to showcase the qualities that made him a major star of the 1940s and beyond — effortless phrasing, emotional depth, and an innate musicality that suited both intimate ballads and sweeping orchestral arrangements. A compelling listen for fans of classic vocal pop and the Great American Songbook tradition, this CD makes an excellent companion to Volume 1 and rounds out any collection devoted to the era’s finest singing…
