I mean crooner in a greater sense. Exuding "cool", pure voice, presence. . .

. . .a guy that just needs a stage and a microphone to make all the women faint. Doesn't need pyrotechnics, on-stage shenanigans, or dancing.

I was always a fan of the Rat Pack, and always compare crooners of today to those legendary figures. You can't just stop at big band and swing, since music has evolved.

Here is my list:

1. Bryan McKnight
2. Harry Connick Jr.
3. Aaron Neville
4. K-Ci and Jojo
5. Buble?

I don't know if I would call him a "crooner" but I certainly prefer Jamie Cullum to Connick at least.
