My gatchies are ready and willing …….

You know, did any of us ever really listen to this stuff? I remember artists like Tom Jones and Engelbert Humperdinck was stuff your grandparents listened to. Same with Barry Manilow. He was like super popular in the 70's but I didn't know anyone that actually listened to him. Never saw an album, poster, tshirt, etc. Nether my parents or older sister listened to him. He was the same grandparents music genre as Tom Jones.

Tom Jones was a cool cat. Would never lump him in with Humperdinck or Manilow. Jones was a staple in my best friend's Dad's Trans Am's 8-Track player. No ladies were tossin' their knickers at 'Bert or Manilow.

Still saving my SPECIAL undies for a final Neil Diamond tour.

Kinda sad, but i'm not kidding

Jones, Humperdinck, Don Ho, Wayne Newton, etc. artists like that was my Granny's jam. She loved that lounge lizard stuff.

And Tom Jones fought Martians.

Seen Tom Jones twice in my life …

First was in Atlantic City second was in Las Vegas...

BOTH times he gave his all and plus-plus-plus !!!

Wish (Mr. Dead on a toilet seat) ELVIS was as thoughtful to his fans

I have fond memories of my Gran jamming out to those guys on her ginormous davenport sized stereo system. Tiny Bubbles still reminds me of her.

Now, my other Gran loved her some Laurence Welk. That was her thing.

Goodnight, sleep tight, and pleasant dreams to you
Here’s a wish and a prayer that every dream comes true
And now 'til we meet again
Adios, Au Revoir, Auf Wiedersehn
GOOD NIGHT!

Good stuff !!!

I know those guys played lounges in the Vegas hotels and such, but I never thought of them as 'lounge lizards'... To me anyway, a lounge lizard is the guy in a piano bar with a tip jar, playing requests while the customers get drunk. (Kind of like the guy in Billy Joel's song 'Piano Man'.)

In defense of Elvis, even when his health was in decline, I do think he strived to give the audience the best he could do under the circumstances...

Granted, he was nowhere near what he was in '56/'57 or '68 to let's say '72, but I do think he was trying. I think something like the clip of him sitting at the piano, singing and playing 'Unchained Melody' shows he wanted to give them what he could, the best he could at the time.

That final rendition of Unchained Melody is one of my favorites. Even 'till the end, the King still had the pipes.
