Back in the 90's I was booked to play a weekend engagement with Mel Torme. Mel fell ill and Vic Damone stepped in to play the tour. What was special was he received permission from Sinatra to play the Sinatra songbook/Nelson Riddle arrangements along with Vic's own reportoir. A real standup class act!

Vic could sing but he couldn't sing everything a wee bit Bland I loved him but Jack Jones was different class Sorry fans,sorry I loved him

Much-overlooked these days, he had a stunning voice. His version of 'On The Street Where You Live' by is overwhelmingly beautiful.

Gershwin and Damone what a combination. Just listen.

RIP Vic. You'll be missed.

I am new to discovering Vic Damone. He does have such a charismatic voice. He beings back romance.

Vic's version of "Fascinatin' Rhythm" is my absolute favorite. So incredible.

Vic Damone’s voice is so charming! I find his voice really soothing. He says the lyrics so clearly. Beautiful voice, full whole and yet he does not sound old..

Wonderful to hear him again and he is better thab ever! Thank you Vic! I love you!

He sounded great as always! Just fantastic!!

Best pipes in the biz!

Vic Damone is the greatest singer of all time. I have been “in love” with him for over 70 years. He celebrated his 89th birthday on June 12, 2017. I hope he celebrates many, many more happy and healthy birthdays. I never tire of listening to him. Love ya, Vic.

What a lucky man you are !!! I wish I could have been a little mouse in your pocket !!!! I have been "in love" with Vic for over 70 years. He has been my favorite since I first met him at radio station WPEN in Philadelphia, PA back in the late 40's. I was about 14 and he was about 18. Still loving him today (September 20, 2017). I hope he has many, many more happy and healthy birthdays. I enjoy his singing on You Tube. I could listen to him all day and night long. I never tire of listening to him.

Steven, You cannot know how happy that makes me feel. When I see and listen to his "live" videos on KZread and there is a close-up, it makes me feel like he is singing just to me. His piercing eyes mesmerize me (even at my age! - just about 4 years younger than Vic). Do you get the idea that I really love his beautiful voice. I kinda l love him, too!!

Steven, I am anxiously awaiting the results of your next trip. I feel very special knowing that Vic will see my comments. As I said before, you are a lucky man to know Vic, to be able to shake his hand and to be his friend. Are you are able to visit Vic because you also live in Florida?

Vic Damone one of the greatest voice of all times. I was doing some reading found the fun fact Vince was Bruce Lee's first celebrity student put that in your back pocket as a fun fact.

It’s too bad he didn’t live in an era when recording equipment quality was more developed. His “The Shadow of Your Smile” is legendary.

His Columbia and Capitol LPs from the late fifties and early sixties are in stereo and hi-fi, so they give a very good idea of his artistry.

the great Vic Damone- wonderful

R.I.P... the great Vic Damone...

like watching a great fighter in the ring.....mesmerizing.

May he rest in peace. (June 12, 1928 - February 11, 2018) :'(

Way back when singers where worth listening to,decent voices and songs with good lyrics.

You're absolutely right tonyny77. I'm one of those rare young people that realize that THIS is what real music is. I've loved the great American songbook and traditional pop since 2004, there's nothing like it. And I'm not ashamed to tell my peers that I love it! :)

Sinatra was spot-on when he said Vic had "the best pipes in the business."

What a Voice.

The voice, the man: sexy....

I seldom have heard singers with such a charismatic voice and exquisite talent.

For his part, Sinatra was also quite complimentary of Vic. “If I had one wish,” Sinatra once said, according to the Songwriters Hall of Fame, “It would be for Vic Damone's tonsils. Vic has the best pipes in the business.”

DÍKY......KRÁSNÉ !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Un inolvidable

Class true Class you cant fathom or beat it man. Are you wising up and listening 21st Century? 😀 mark..

I agree with you

AMEN this is a good time for Buble to get over what competition does he have although Matt Dusk gives him a run but there both the same

Boy he was special.

Gentleman

Surperb what else can you say.

RIP Vic Demone ,say hi to Frank form all of us.....Later buddy

For my money the best male singer of his time. Sinatra may have been a better stylist, Torme a better technician, Crosby had his deep baritone, but I can listen to Vic Damone forever and not get tired.

a truly great singer … but even he couldn't rescue 'Fascinating Rhythm' a real dud of a song

RIP

too bad about the sorry arrangement for Fascinatin' Rhythm - the first and third song have Vic at his vocal best with very good arrangements - i could listen to both over and over

Anybody please? The titles of the songs in the medley so I can look up the lyrics to sing along. Xx

RIP Vito Rocco Farinola, aka Vic Damone

Now if only Buble would stop messing around with over slick accompaniment and few cloying modern ticks in his phrasing and step up and do what he was born to do straight up.

No offense but, Buble is an elevator voice, whereas Damone, Como, Sinatra and Bennett are the real thing. Buble bores me.

Buble does not understand phrasing-emotion-subtleties. Although his sound is pleasant, you can absorb everything he has to offer after only a few short measures of music. No drama....no feeling.

Vic was no “lounge lizard.”

Buble is a little bit trapped in fairness . By different times, the requirements of these times.

Charismatic voice? With a vocal register of maybe one octave. I was waiting for some hight note. This singer had none.

Terrible arrangements. Vic was the best voice of all, but lacked emotion.
