Well done, David. I enjoyed your tribute to Buddy Clark. He had many hit records and fans in Australia. I was in high school when he died and I recall hat one of my classmates was quite distressed by the news.

I bought three Buddy Clark CDs on E Bay about three years ago,  a very good singer who died tragically young , up there with Bing, Dick Haymes, Perry Como, Billy Eckstine, Vic Damone, Tony Martin and Frank Sinatra.,I first became familiar with him when the late Frank Skerrett a radio presenter on Radio Clyde in Glasgow, Scotland had often played his records on his show he hosted from 1974 until his death in 1992 otherwise i probably wouldn't have known his music as his recordings were only available on imports.. Jerry Vale recorded a tribute album "I Remember Buddy in 1958. Frank Skerrett also hosted one hour special playing his music sometime back in 1986.

For years now Buddy Clark has been my second favorite singer after Bing.

Thanks for the Buddy Clark tribute,  i enjoyed it if it wasn't for you and other people like the late Frank Skerrett , there's a danger that Buddy Clark would have  been  forgotten today.

Another completely forgotten crooner is Dick Todd. I am working on a tribute to him as well.
