Vaughn Monroe
The Very Best Of

Description

Vaughn Monroe was one of the most distinctive voices of the American big band and pop era, a powerful baritone whose commanding presence made him one of the top recording and radio stars of the 1940s and early 1950s. This CD collects the finest moments from a career that produced enduring classics, showcasing his remarkable range across romantic ballads, rousing Western-flavored numbers, and lush orchestral pop. Monroe’s crossover appeal — equally at home with sweeping strings and driving swing arrangements — is fully on display here, making this an essential listen for fans of mid-century American popular music. A superb introduction to one of the era’s most underappreciated talents…
