Chulaivet,

You're absolutely right. The singers were quite incredible.

I have often wondered how people like Bing Crosby, Doris Day, Judy Garland, Mel Torme, Frank Sinatra (just to name a few of many) managed to get such a good vocal sound when technology was practically nothing compared to what's possible today. You had to be good in those days and you had to have a voice that was microphone friendly.

By the way, if ever you want a good read on Tin Pan Alley lyrics and their history, the below book by Philip Furia is excellent.
