Vic Damone – Live In Concert

•    The incomparable Vic Damone gives his best in this delightful set of live performances, recorded in Las Vegas in 1968

•    His accompanying band sounds jazzier than the plush orchestrations of his studio releases

•    Songs include Can’t Take My Eyes Off Of You, This Is My Life and The Song Is You

One of the prototypical Italian-American crooners, Vic Damone parlayed a smooth, mellow baritone into big-time pop stardom during the ’40s and ’50s. Early in his career, his inflection and phrasing were clearly indebted to Frank Sinatra, who once famously called him “the best set of pipes in the business.”

Overall, though, Damone’s style was softer than Sinatra’s and owed less to the elasticity of jazz, especially since he was a solo performer who never served an apprenticeship with a swing orchestra. Very much the heartthrob in his heyday, his repertoire relied heavily on romantic ballads, though he did sprinkle in the occasional pop novelty or Italian folk song. He managed a parallel career as a film actor and, later, a TV variety host, and remained an active nightclub performer for decades after he disappeared from the charts.
