Subject: Your favorite song from Eddie Fisher
Written By: Nostalgic on 10/09/10 at 4:44 am
My favorite songs are the ones he sang with Hugo Winterhalter, like "Any time", "I'm yours", "Tell me why" and "Wish you were here".

It's a shame that artists from this "Post-Swing, Pre-Rock" era tend to be mostly underappreciated today (with the exception of Frank Sinatra). It really is a vacation from the currents, recurrents, and oldies that have been the standard for the past few decades. But I like I Need You Now and Oh! My Papa.

He did a cracking little duet of a very old (even then!) number called 'Maybe', with a certain Perry Como (following the trend of most record companies back then of pairing a couple of their artists together...)
I did mention that he didn't have a very distinctive voice (Eddie, not Perry), but he carried this one off well...

I have to agree with you. Until a few years ago, the only singers I knew from the pre-rock 'n' roll fifties were Frank Sinatra, Ella Fitzgerald and Billie Holliday. Then I made a conscious effort to find out about the other singers of the time, and many of them were great in their own right, like the late Eddie Fisher.
