Let's make this guy a star

[Marc Chevalier]

Folks, there's a very talented crooner who needs your help. His name is Tony London, a 42 year-old with an incredible voice. Unfortunately, he's not reached the big time like Michael Bubl?© has. In fact, he's struggling to get a fan base.


Here are some MP3 samples of his songs: http://cdbaby.com/cd/tonylondon

Check out his version of the Gershwin tune, "Mine." (Song #13 on the list.)


What Tony London needs is support from people like us. Thanks to the Internet, we can spread the word about him via grassroots word-of-mouth. If you like what you hear, please tell your friends to listen to this fella. And if you know anyone in the music business (including event organizers and promotors, producers, etc.), let them know how great Tony is.

I'd be very grateful to everyone here if they could share their opinion of this guy's voice. Tony needs all the feedback he can get -- positive or negative.


Thank you so much!

And ladies, I should have mentioned that he's easy on the eyes as well.


What do y'all think of his voice? Comments (both positive and negative) will be greatly appreciated.

I hope he get's together with one of the name big bands... I think it could be a great thing!

But seriously, Tony ... what did you think of him? Would your home shopping station sell his CDs?

No, no not at all! I am sure many fellows will like him, too! I bet my father would, in fact. I'll email him the link!

I can't speak to how good he is but I can say that you can save $5 by buying the album on iTunes.

Add another thumbs up from me. Although he ain't easy on my eyes.

Nice voice, not really my cup of tea. I tend to gravitate toward the rawer-voiced singers, like Frank after his vocal cord operation.

We've never sold CDs, but it's worth a thought. Don't know what the profit margin would be.

 

[Foofoogal]

I think he has a beautiful voice. He also has dreamy eyes! It is all in the eyes to me. lol

 

[Kentucky Blues]

Well, I gotta say it's not really my cup of tea. Great voice, a favorite-to-be for all who love this style of music. I'm just more a fan of faster songs, with more music in the background. But the man is quite talented

"Mine" sounds very Broadway musical. Does he act as well?

To make it in music these days, he'd better act and dance.

Tony was a singer in rock bands for years ... which nearly destroyed his vocal chords.

*Bump.*

Deep thanks to everyone for your comments and opinions.


More than 180 views of this thread thus far, yet relatively few posts. Please, folks, your input will be very appreciated. Please help Tony out with honest feedback. :cheers1:

*Final bump.*

Several hundred views so far, and only a handful of posts with comments. I'm scratching my head here.


No more comments mean no further opinions or interest. I've got to conclude that this singer doesn't stand a chance of success, if he can't even elicit opinions/criticisms/suggestions from folks who presumably feel a kinship with the golden era.


In any case, many thanks to those few who have taken the time to post their opinions.

Okay, I'm gonna add a little bit to what I said earlier. I think he'd be better if he sped things up, and think the Cavanagh Trio he's performing with may be part of why I don't like it that much. It's too much in the background it seems, and there just doesn't seem to be enough of it. Perhaps if he had a big band behind him, and a little more swing in his stylings, I'd be more interested in adding him to my music library.

And as far as other members, come on people! Marc doesn't seem to be asking that those who love this guy come out and tell it to the world. From what I can tell, he just wants the members here in general to state what they think, good or bad, be critical. Not necessarily asking that those who dislike it bash the guy, but at the same time, not hold your tongue just because you don't have anything good to say. Artists NEED to hear bad feedback in order to improve, and need to hear the good feedback to help guide that improvement. I agree with Marc on this... if a guy's trying to make it in the music business, and we can help, I think we should!
