Fabulous voice, lyrics, and music...these qualities don't seem to exist anymore, and if they do you won't hear it on the radio!

One of a kind. This man had a talent as big as Mount Everest. We will never have another Mel Torme.

His voice and the tunes!! It just melts me. I grew up hearing him and will always love his music!!!! ❤🎼🎶🎵🎼🎶🎵 Such a talent!!

[davidfgarciagiffard]

Such a velvety voice. I've never been able to make up my mind between Mr.Tormè's and Johnny Mathi's version.

[malcolmlewis]

One of the greatest interpreters of the American Songbook, so underrated.

[icabod]

One of the greatest singers of the twentieth century.

[shelaghevans]

Just wonderful! Fantastic voice and musicality. His interpretation is just perfect.

[GaryMCurran]

I knew he was drummer as well as a singer, but I never knew he played piano.
What an amazing voice he had, what a great singer.

[carolbeilbymcgrath]

I was a month old when he recorded this ❤ I only ever knew the Kenby Rankin version. Thanks for the music Momma and Daddy 🎶

[GuillermoGarcia-ryxr]

Hermosa canción y muy bien interpretada.
A los amantes de esta canción les recomiendo la versión de Milt Buckner .
Saludos cordiales desde Buenos Aires, Argentina.🇦🇷

Wow, I thought Buble was based his style off Sinatra... but this has to be his main inspiration. My first time hearing him.

Mathis is the goat to me, but this guy has a whole different kind of voice. He doesnt use a lot of vibrato, its the phrasing and velvet airiness.

[HolgerRuneFan]

Mel was one of a kind. Check out his 1964 duet with Bing, it's here on Youtube. It's great!

'' the singers singer''

[AlHenryGarcia-moyj]

Wow. MELVIN TORMA (Polish- Jewish), "The Velvet Fog"! Perfect phrasing, stylish chords, and that be-bop scatman playing! Torme'(a) co-wrote the family favorite " The Christmas Song", with Nathaniel (King) Coles specifically in mind to sing it. RIP 🕊

Not my favorite jazz singer, but the talent is undeniable
