Billy Eckstine - Stardust download song

awesome voice. I'm in love with this voice

He was a beautiful man, top flight performer. I was born in 1951.

I try to never "VS" one artist against another because all truly great ones bring something different to the table but some are just incomparable. In a class by themselves. In my opinion, Billy Eckstein falls into that category. Frank Sinatra does not.

great remember him at the Chicago theatre in Chicago many years ago

and to you i say...."what a load of crap"...It's true, frankie never sang with the romantic gentility he did after the early 50s. I can't even say he grew...it was just a vocal decline.

Mr. B was my top favorite singer in the forties.Thank You for the wonderful listen to a really great vocalist.

not knocking sinatra , but this guy , this dude , this american legend , was and always will be the greatest crooner of all

When specifically discussing singing, I don't believe most listeners place Louis Armstrong in the same category as crooners like Cole, Eckstine and Sinatra, so I wouldn't expect him to be mentioned. Armstrong's version is dreamy however, and I cherish it. I agree with you about Sinatra's recording from his time with the Harry James Orchestra---indeed, to my ears, Sinatra's best singing was done when he was with James and later Tommy Dorsey. I haven't much use for anything he did afterwards.

My girlfriends and I used to go to Lawnside New Jersey on Saturday Nights, we went to a bar there and in came Billy Ecstein and he sang Stardust. His Voice and Presence was so inspiring and I was floating.....E

So Beautiful! Thank You Mr. B...Thank You!

Nothing can compare with the voices of those two.  Brings me back to better times.

Hoagy first recorded Stardust in my hometown. ;)

My Mother was in love with this man. Now I know why. May God Rest Their Souls. Peace.

I am one of those people who can listen and actually like to listen to different singers. version. For example Sarah Vaughn's version of "Send in the Clowns" and Frank's version of the same song. Sarah still had it going on voice wise where to me Frank's was fading and raspy. But his version had me in tears! Now to Mr. B. What a voice! like chocolate melting softly and sweetly in your mouth! He was for me the epitome of style and the meaning of the word crooner! And oh so very handsome!!!!

MY grandmom asked me to listen to this-- an I am so glad I did. What a marvelous voice this man had.
