Mel was a family friend. He was always gracious and friendly to me. When I grew up, my wife and I always went to see him perform in NY. He always came and sat with us between sets. Loved him.
I was a freshman in college hearing Torme in 1978. When he got going doing an uptempo number I was astonished - I didn’t think anyone could do what he was doing. Forty five years later, I realize that there are only a handful of singers that can swing like he can. In India there’s a pop singer who can deliver like Torme, Shreya Ghoshal. Even though she never sings in English, I listen to every song she releases, hoping she shifts into that special gear they both have.
Mel was so articulate, effortlessly talking without hemming and hawing, "uh'," or "you know's." Bing was the same way. I miss Mel!
My two favourite singers since the 50s.......Sarah Vaughan and Mel Tormé.
I could listen to these old school entertainers with extraordinary multi talented careers an experiences about life in the business and about life in general and a insightful intelligence and observations what a wonderful interview rest in peace mr Torm’e you did fine
His great "friend" Jerry Lewis was a notorious and arrogant prick, the most hated interviewee of all time. He died with about 55 million in the bank and left NADA, 0, bubkis to his first 5 kids from his former wife of 38 years!
I never knew that much about music when I was younger and definitely didn't know anything about jazz. Just listened to mainstream radio. However, I was always aware of the name Mel Torme. Only now, later in life, I see what a talented and smart and good person he really is. Thanks for the great video.
Wow he sounded incredible here. His voice never seemed to change!
I have great memories of watching Mel perform ❤️

Great legend!
Enjoyed his talent. 👍🏻
Yes, Mel you did stick to your guns.
He's so full of himself.
@Drummer J.L.H. Yes, he was all of those things and an arrogant SOB. Do yourself a favor and take your rose colored glasses off when it come to M.T.
As he should be, if he was.
He’s been interviewed so it’s supposed to be mostly about him. It should all be about Groucho Marx
@@EagleRockers You can say anything you want, I have seen many singers and Torme was one of the most talented. I think that you have to have a sense of self in order to survive in such a hard driving business.
@@tomkelly4336 I'll give you that, he was a very talented singer. I heard he had perfect pitch. But as a person, he wasn't very nice.
