However it was produced, and opera experts would know far better than I, Ramey's combination of pleasing tone and great power are impressive here. However, the more I listen to Tennessee Ernie Ford on his more serious stuff and compare him with other bass-baritones classical and popular, the more I'm inclined to think that he had the sweetest tone of any of them.

@larrydonguy i have to agree with you. Ramey is usually quite good at crossover, but most opera singers overpower the song with their big operatic voices.

@agreatgeat He doesn't. Perhaps what you're hearing is his careful and excellent diction.
-
Why does he have a foreign accent? :D
-
Listen to Cesare Siepi's recording of this great Porter song!

@larrydonguy That makes a great deal of sense. So often in early study I was told to not let my acting interfere with my technique. But in improv clsses or lessons different suggested emotions changed my tone and still conveyed the message. Lots to think about. Thanksyou!!!!!!
Well Mr. Ramey does push a bit but his technique is unshakeable. It's sad opera and musical theater singers can't make more cross over albums. I make it a point to mix anyway. I had to "suspend" my belief, but he's still dreamy. :P
