My Take
Dick Haymes is the sort of voice I love to rediscover. Born in Buenos Aires yet a fixture of the American songbook, he was among the most popular male vocalists of the 1940s and early 1950s, and you can almost hear that warm, unhurried baritone drifting through those postwar nights. With his brother Bob also working in music and television, this was clearly a family steeped in song. The star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame fixed his name in stone, but it is the records that keep him alive. I think singers like Haymes deserve to be pulled back into the light, not quietly forgotten.
