I begin with an example of Bert Williams, the first African-American superstar, and offer a few other examples of important precursors, but I focus on the heyday of the crooner, from the 1940s through the early 1960s, including such honey-voiced singers as Billy Eckstine, Johnny Mathis, Nat King Cole, Ray Charles, Sammy Davis, Jr., Johnny Hartman, Lou Rawls, Brook Benton, and Arthur Prysock. Since I apply the term \u201ccrooner\u201d fairly loosely, I am also able to present singers from outside the traditional repertoire of the standard crooner, including Josh White, Leslie \u201cHutch\u201d Hutchinson, Harry Belafonte, Barry White, Bobby Short, and Lamont Dozier<em>.<\/em>The episode concludes with a tribute to Broadway baritones of color and with a stunning live performance of Jackie Wilson singing \u201cDanny Boy\u201d in honor of my birthday. Vocal guest stars include Miriam Makeba, Linda Ronstadt, and Mabel Mercer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Countermelody<\/em>&nbsp;is a podcast devoted to the glory and the power of the human voice raised in song. Singer and vocal aficionado Daniel Gundlach explores great singers of the past and present focusing in particular on those who are less well-remembered today than they should be. Daniel\u2019s lifetime in music as a professional countertenor, pianist, vocal coach, voice teacher, and journalist yields an exciting array of anecdotes, impressions, and \u201cinside stories.\u201d At&nbsp;<em>Countermelody<\/em>\u2019s core is the celebration of great singers of all stripes, their instruments, and the connection they make to the words they sing.
