So great to see and hear a singer that can actually sing. Not like the so called singer today. I tell you our generation got cheated so bad. Our grandparents got Elvis, Nat Cole, Jerry Vale, Patsy Cline and so Drove a better looking car. What do we got Beiber and plastic car.

This man was amazing. I'm just frustrated I was just a child when he was big. There will never be another like him.

I miss singers like Jerry and the meaningful songs they sang. I'm lucky to be old enough to have experienced the art of romantic music.

never got the recognition of Dean Martin or Sinatra, but JERRY VALE was definitely the best Italian singer of the three 👍❤️

Jerry Vale is by far my favourite singer - he is truly brilliant, and should have been much greater than he was. We won't hear anyone like him. God bless Jerry!

Very truly well said about the singing style of JERRY VALE . His voice has a unique tenor sound that evokes excitement because he really is so expressive and animated in his love songs that you instantly fall in love with his amazing voice!

The years have taken away his magnificent style, but he will be remembered for songs that have kept loving families together because of his inspirational and passionate manner that leaves a lasting impression on people that loves his songs! He has sang so many Italian songs that are

At the same time a gifted crooner so difficult to achieve in a song, simultaneously.
We will always remember this performer!

The singing Boot black! He was fantastic, such a smooth voice - like silk. I saw him live at Trump Plaza in 1987 and I swear I was the only non - gangster in the crowd! I miss performers like him. The entire genre doesn't even exist anymore, sad.

When Jerry performed live before the audience and sang the song TILL, he would always tell the audience THIS NEXT SONG, I HAD ONE OF THE FIRST RECORDINGS OF IT AND IT WENT ON TO BECOME A BIG HIT, BY THEM, BUT NEVERTHELESS i'm gonna sing it for you now, and in my opinion his recording of TILL was best of all the MALE RECORDING ARTISTS that recorded it, in my opinion, undoubtedly a BEAUTIFUL LOVE SONG. RIP, JERRY, YOU CERTAINLY WAS THE BEST OF THE BEST.
