Re: Louis Armstrong and Gary Crosby
Stepo, I agree. He was even more irritating live. He would sing a song and then talk for an hour. Only person I did not enjoy live. And I saw many live.

Blimey, I hope he had Bing's facility with words. How was he rude to you, Carmela?

Was never much of Billy Joel fan apart from a few songs, sadly a lot of his songs tended to irritate me once heard several times on the radio.
I was introduced to Billy Joel's music, properly in the early 1990's by a relative and also my boss at the time at the nostalgia record shop where I worked. Previously, I only knew of Joel's huge hit of "Uptown Girl" but it was explained to me that he was a semi-throwback to the New York "Tin Pan Alley" period of songwriting and after hearing "Piano Man", "New York State of Mind" and "Just The Way You Are", I could relate to that. I know Sinatra did a grand swinging job of "Just The Way You Are" but are there any of his songs that anyone could imagine Bing (or indeed Louis, for that matter) recording?

Re: Louis Armstrong and Gary Crosby
"Just The Way You Are" perhaps, but not that many, i liked "Uptown girl" which was his homage to Frankie Valli and The 4 Seasons.
