Vic Damone is as handsome as he is talented. Miss him but thank God he left us a legacy of his amazing songs. He will live on with his music. RIP dear Vic..💔
Back in the 90's I was booked to play a weekend engagement with Mel Torme. Mel fell ill and Vic Damone stepped in to play the tour. What was special was he received permission from Sinatra to play the Sinatra songbook/Nelson Riddle arrangements along with Vic's own reportoir. A real standup class act!
Vic Damone’s voice is so charming! I find his voice really soothing. He says the lyrics so clearly. Beautiful voice, full whole and yet he does not sound old..
Vic Damone is the greatest singer of all time. I have been “in love” with him for over 70 years. He celebrated his 89th birthday on June 12, 2017. I hope he celebrates many, many more happy and healthy birthdays. I never tire of listening to him. Love ya, Vic.
My late Dad loved him and he was also a singer but now I see why............. I don't know about ''the best'' pipes in the business but a fine fine voice ;-)
i was lucky enough to have dinner with vic last night in south fla he sang "but not for me" just a couple of verses . he still sounds amazing at 88 soon to be 89 in june
What a lucky man you are !!! I wish I could have been a little mouse in your pocket !!!! I have been "in love" with Vic for over 70 years. He has been my favorite since I first met him at radio station WPEN in Philadelphia, PA back in the late 40's. I was about 14 and he was about 18. Still loving him today (September 20, 2017). I hope he has many, many more happy and healthy birthdays. I enjoy his singing on You Tube. I could listen to him all day and night long. I never tire of listening to him.
Steven, You cannot know how happy that makes me feel. When I see and listen to his "live" videos on CZcams and there is a close-up, it makes me feel like he is singing just to me. His piercing eyes mesmerize me (even at my age! - just about 4 years younger than Vic). Do you get the idea that I really love his beautiful voice. I kinda l love him, too!!
Steven, I am anxiously awaiting the results of your next trip. I feel very special knowing that Vic will see my comments. As I said before, you are a lucky man to know Vic, to be able to shake his hand and to be his friend. Are you are able to visit Vic because you also live in Florida?
Vic Damone one of the greatest voice of all times. I was doing some reading found the fun fact Vince was Bruce Lee's first celebrity student put that in your back pocket as a fun fact.
You're absolutely right tonyny77. I'm one of those rare young people that realize that THIS is what real music is. I've loved the great American songbook and traditional pop since 2004, there's nothing like it. And I'm not ashamed to tell my peers that I love it! :)
For his part, Sinatra was also quite complimentary of Vic. “If I had one wish,” Sinatra once said, according to the Songwriters Hall of Fame, “It would be for Vic Damone's tonsils. Vic has the best pipes in the business.”
For my money the best male singer of his time. Sinatra may have been a better stylist, Torme a better technician, Crosby had his deep baritone, but I can listen to Vic Damone forever and not get tired.
too bad about the sorry arrangement for Fascinatin' Rhythm - the first and third song have Vic at his vocal best with very good arrangements - i could listen to both over and over
Now if only Buble would stop messing around with over slick accompaniment and few cloying modern ticks in his phrasing and step up and do what he was born to do straight up.
Buble does not understand phrasing-emotion-subtleties. Although his sound is pleasant, you can absorb everything he has to offer after only a few short measures of music. No drama....no feeling.
Vic Damone is as handsome as he is talented. Miss him but thank God he left us a legacy of his amazing songs. He will live on with his music. RIP dear Vic..💔
Much-overlooked these days, he had a stunning voice. His version of 'On The Street Where You Live' by is overwhelmingly beautiful.
Seldom have I heard a singer with such a charismatic voice. A rare and exquisite talent.
Vic could sing but he couldn't sing everything a wee bit Bland I loved him but Jack Jones was different class Sorry fans,sorry I loved him

lucky you
Gershwin and Damone what a combination. Just listen.
RIP Vic. You'll be missed.
Vic Damone’s voice is so charming! I find his voice really soothing. He says the lyrics so clearly. Beautiful voice, full whole and yet he does not sound old..
Vic's version of "Fascinatin' Rhythm" is my absolute favorite. So incredible.
I am new to discovering Vic Damone. He does have such a charismatic voice. He beings back romance.
Wonderful to hear him again and he is better thab ever! Thank you Vic! I love you!
Best pipes in the biz!
Fond memories. Deepest sympathies to Elaine and family...you and the family are in my thoughts and prayers.

A great singer
Aww this reminds me of my grandma. She loved all these singers. I got all her records when she died.
Grandiosa! vic damone rules!
some vocal ability just effortless
Fantastic!
My late Dad loved him and he was also a singer but now I see why............. I don't know about ''the best'' pipes in the business but a fine fine voice ;-)
so beautiful as all his songs were.
Thank you Sir for your kind words. I will always continue to 'keep the flame going.' God Bless you!
It’s too bad he didn’t live in an era when recording equipment quality was more developed. His “The Shadow of Your Smile” is legendary.
His Columbia and Capitol LPs from the late fifties and early sixties are in stereo and hi-fi, so they give a very good idea of his artistry.
SO NICE TO FIND AT THIS SAD TIME...RIP, VITO

I'M 84 AND SO THANKFUL THAT WHEN I FINNALY PACK-IT-IN THERE WILL BE SOMEONG LIKE YOU TO PICK IT UP!!!!

like watching a great fighter in the ring.....mesmerizing.
This vid is so good.
May he rest in peace. (June 12, 1928 - February 11, 2018) :'(
I seldom have heard singers with such a charismatic voice and exquisite talent.
For his part, Sinatra was also quite complimentary of Vic. “If I had one wish,” Sinatra once said, according to the Songwriters Hall of Fame, “It would be for Vic Damone's tonsils. Vic has the best pipes in the business.”
What a Voice.
Sinatra was spot-on when he said Vic had "the best pipes in the business."
Way back when singers where worth listening to,decent voices and songs with good lyrics.
The voice, the man: sexy....
Un inolvidable
DÍKY......KRÁSNÉ !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I agree with you
As Sinatra said, “ best pipes in the business”!
AMEN this is a good time for Buble to get over what competition does he have although Matt Dusk gives him a run but there both the same
For my money the best male singer of his time. Sinatra may have been a better stylist, Torme a better technician, Crosby had his deep baritone, but I can listen to Vic Damone forever and not get tired.
Boy he was special.
Gentleman
Class true Class you cant fathom or beat it man. Are you wising up and listening 21st Century? 😀 mark..
Surperb what else can you say.
too bad about the sorry arrangement for Fascinatin' Rhythm - the first and third song have Vic at his vocal best with very good arrangements - i could listen to both over and over
a truly great singer … but even he couldn't rescue 'Fascinating Rhythm' a real dud of a song
RIP
RIP Vic Demone ,say hi to Frank form all of us.....Later buddy
What the hell is a Vic damone!! aint no god dang greatest , i ain't never heard of him!!
Anybody please? The titles of the songs in the medley so I can look up the lyrics to sing along. Xx
Now if only Buble would stop messing around with over slick accompaniment and few cloying modern ticks in his phrasing and step up and do what he was born to do straight up.
No offense but, Buble is an elevator voice, whereas Damone, Como, Sinatra and Bennett are the real thing. Buble bores me.
agreed. unattractive, second-rate, and striving to fill a gap in "good" singers. go back to Vancouver, and stay there, Buble.
Buble does not understand phrasing-emotion-subtleties. Although his sound is pleasant, you can absorb everything he has to offer after only a few short measures of music. No drama....no feeling.
Ain't no goddamn greatest I never heard of him lol Chris Tucker voice
I was looking in the comments waiting for someone too say that lol
He can't sang
RIP Vito Rocco Farinola, aka Vic Damone
Michael Bubble eat your heart out Vic wrote the book on lounge lizard first !
Vic was no “lounge lizard.”
Buble is a little bit trapped in fairness . By different times, the requirements of these times.
Charismatic voice? With a vocal register of maybe one octave. I was waiting for some hight note. This singer had none.
Ki
Not as cool as frankie, his body language is a bit insecure BUT still a great voice, good timing
Terrible arrangements. Vic was the best voice of all, but lacked emotion.
vic voice is amazing
don't remember sinatra saying he had something missing ? he's 88 years old looks great and still sounds great
sounds fair < he was my mothers all time #1
Mediocre single
R.I.P... the great Vic Damone...
