The Great American Songbook is a hypothetical construct that seeks to represent the best American songs of the 20th century, principally from Broadway theatre, musical theatre, and Hollywood musical film, from the 1920s to 1960, including dozens of songs of enduring popularity. The Great American Songbook became (and remains) a vital part of the repertoire of jazz musicians.

Growing up in the 50's & 60's, I was exposed to much of this great music on a daily basis. My early listening experiences were filled with the great voices, Sinatra, Martin, Tony Bennet, Andy Williams, Robert Goulet, Judy Garland, Lena Horne, Peggy Lee and countless others. This was real music to be savored and many of the songs listed in this work I can still sing to this day. Thanks for the memories.

Sinatra is so damn awesome. I love his stuff and the attitude but for my money, Nat King Cole had the best voice. fricking cigarettes.........

That's a Doc Pomus-Mort Shuman song, so it really belongs more in this thread: Brill Building Rock: The Great Songwriters
I always meant to update that thread, but I never got around to it.
