From Frank Sinatra to Sammy Davis Jr, Liza Minnelli to Nat King Cole, these iconic performers left an indelible mark on the music industry. In 1989, the prestigious Royal Albert Hall in London witnessed a magical night as the creator Brian Foskett brought together legendary crooners for an unforgettable performance. Their music covered classics like "When I Fall in Love, " originally sung by Nat King Cole, transporting listeners into a world of romance and nostalgia. Another remarkable event took place at Fairfield Halls in Croydon during March 1988 when Tony Bennett and Ralph Sharon graced the stage with their mesmerizing rendition of "Love in Bloom. " This song gained fame through Bing Crosby's film and continues to evoke emotions even today. The influence of crooners extended beyond live performances.
