Buddy Clark - For You

Buddy Clark singing For You.
Buddy Clark was one of the most popular male vocalists of the 1930s and 1940s, a success on radio, in movies, and on record -- had he lived longer, in the estimation of pop music scholar John P. Cooper, Clark might easily have been a rival to Perry Como or Dean Martin in postwar America. A fixture on the airwaves for his first decade and a half as a singer, Clark didn't hit his commercial stride until the end of the 1940s, with more than a dozen hits in scarcely two years -- when his life was tragically cut short by a plane crash.

Buddy was a favorite in the fortys along with Vaughn Monroe. Wonderful voices. I missed him.  Glad you had these records of the great one. Thanks for sharing

Buddy Clark's short life left us with a small but wonderful treasury of great songs. His was as beautiful a voice as one could ask for. It's a shame that he isn't better remembered. He made some great recordings as Ray Noble's singer. Thanks for these gems of his

Superb singer, and thank you for posting this tender ballad. I am obviously, a BigBingFan, and Buddy idolized Bing, and Bing reciprocated as good friends. When I first heard Buddy's voice on a mid-80's local station, "The Music of Your Life"--I could have sworn that golden voice was Bing's. Buddy had some flourishes which Bing didn't do, and I like him very, very much. My next favorite singer--the Great--Buddy Clark.
