William Frawley (Fred from I Love Lucy) was an old Vaudeville man, as you may know, and he released an album in 1958 called "Sings the Old Ones" (these songs were the "old ones" in 1958). The first time I heard it, I was listening for kitsch value, and thought it sounded like someone's grandpa singing old show tunes. But I kept listening, and began to perceive that his intonation was superb, his timbre was actually really beautiful, and that his renditions of these old tunes were just...Great. I eventually picked up on the fact that he, not some industry person, had selected the songs, and that they were chosen to give the attentive listener a sort of outline of his true self. Some of the subject matter, like "Dear Old Girl" can get quite emotionally affecting, while other cuts are a bit zany...But every track seems to hone in on a different passion or facet of his personality. I consider this album to be an unknown work of genius. It is easily in my top 5 of all time.
