Greatest crooner…..Dean Martin or Al Martino?
This one really has me stumped. Dino was much more charismatic and lively on stage, while Al basically just stood there and sang, but singing with such an incredible voice, you didn’t want Al to do anything else which might distract you from his singing. These 2 guys in my opinion are the greatest crooners ever. Try as I might I can’t pick a winner here.
Mel Tormé is really in a different category. I’d give it to Dean Martin. Great voice, but also lots of charisma. A sonofabitch as a person, but a terrific entertainer.
The greatest crooner was neither of these guys. It’s between Bing Crosby and Frank Sinatra.
