who from the past do you imagine singing on the radio

[broadway]

who was your favorite singer from the past
who would sing from time to time on the radio
or who should have been on the radio
a singer who had a special quality
who was like a friend to you
a singer you miss hearing today
such feeling in the voice
real warmth
a comforting feeling
depth
real music
who did you care for?

i simply say "Fred Astaire" as singer, dancer and actor.
I hear "Puttin on the Ritz" over and over...
