Wow, has it been THAT long since I put up a swanky tune?

Poking around I saw it was Dean Martin’s birthday today. Being he’s my favorite of the Rat Pack and as he was a a fellow Ohioan this deserved a special commemoration of this momentous day.

Buon Compleanno, Dino!

Been awhile since I had a Swanky tune. (And it gave me a chance to test out Amadeus mentioned in the link in the post below - verdict? Can you hear this tune?)

The guy who made “miserable ovoid creature” that I posted about yesterday snet me the song! Here it is!

I realized I haven’t done a Swanky music post in a LONG LONG time! Here, take this! I promise to get better and stop talking so damn much!

Nina Simone has left the building, aged 70.

Did you think i forgot about the Swanky Spot? Ok, I did. But it’s back.
I love Louis, too much fun. If you don’t move you are dead.

Happy saturday fun time music.

Someone was kind enough to send me some new swankiness and this one hit me as a good addtion to the swanky spot.

Found this one hiding in my archives.. enjoy!

been awhile since I’ve had a music post, so here’s one for ya! think I’m going to be concentrating on posting more Cab Calloway soon.

Since I have nothing intersting to say for now, I’ll just give you some music for your boring Tuesday. Esquivel’s stuff is so so fun and quirky.

Jive, jive, jive!

Not much to say today, so instead I’ll put up a lazy kick-back song on this lazy Tuesday morning.

I wanted to get back to starting my Cab Calloway Music Series, and since Dave whined originally about wanting this song, I thought I’d do it next, thought his most famous, I dont think it’s his best. More from Cab in coming weeks.

If you don’t move, you’re dead, pally.

If anyone is missing my pls of wisdom, I am posting at Dave’s blog too as time permits, but I thought it had been awhile since we all were Swankified.

Bossa Nova Ville - Exotique Bossa Nova

I think this pretty well sums up the week thus far.

Ella Fitzgerld sings Cole Porter’s Too Darn Hot (from “Kiss Me Kate”

I feel rather prophetic now, just a few posts ago I posted some of her stuff.

Well, in honor of this famous Cincinnati natives (and Aunt to ER hottie George) passing, a VBB swanky tribute. A few of her most memorable classics.

Rosemary Clooney and Perez Prado - I only have Eyes For you

Rosemary Clooney - Hey There

Rosemary Clooney - Mambo Italiano

I never got to meet her, but you oculd just tell she was one hell of a broad.
