#QuickSidenote The ultimate Mel Tormé plot twist… he co-wrote “The Christmas Song” with Robert Wells in 1945… Yeah, the ‘Chestnuts roasting… / Jack Frost nipping…’ song. The holiday classic became a career-defining smash hit for Nat King Cole. #MelTorme #NatKingCole #OneHitWondered #MusicSky

#Interestingly Mel Tormé… full disclosure, he had 10 US Top 40 hits in the ‘40s and early-’50s, but only “Comin' Home Baby” hit during the #Billboard Hot 100 era. Does that make him a US #OneHitWonder? No, probably not… but we’ll toss him up here, anyway. #MelTorme #OneHitWondered

#Interestingly Mel Tormé did it all: singer, drummer, arranger, songwriter, actor. A NYC DJ, Fred Robbins, dubbed him ‘The Velvet Fog,’ and the name stuck for life. Tormé came up in the big-band swing era, then spent decades making the point that he wasn’t ‘just’ smooth. #MelTorme #OneHitWondered

Mel Torme sings the Duke Ellington & Count Basie songbooks.
#NowSpinning: @stylus66.bsky.social infected me with those #HornyHumpDay vibes so I gotta keep the brass blaring. I really like "I'm Gonna go Fishin';" better when Ella sings it, but then I don't get to take the A train.

The album Mel Torme & George Shearing: An Evening at Charlie's
#NowSpinning - More Torme! I put off exploring his catalog for *checks watch* about 50 years, but now I'm suitably impressed. He can sing, he can scat, he can hold a note until payday. Looking forward to seeing how his rap battle game is.

Mel Torme's album The Duke Ellington & Count Basie Songbooks
#NowSpinning - I felt it was time to get some Velvet Fog in my jazz section, so I started here. The seed was planted by Judge Harry way back in the day on Night Court, it's finally flourished and bore fruit on my turntable. (I think it's pomegranate.)
