My Take
Tony Martin is a reminder of how long a real career can last when the voice holds up. Born Alvin Morris in San Francisco in 1913, he spent over seven decades performing, racking up hits like "Stranger in Paradise" and "I Love Paris" from the late 1930s through the mid 1950s. That kind of staying power across changing tastes impresses me more than any single chart-topper. He earned a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, but the number I keep coming back to is seven decades. Living to 2012, he outlasted the very era that made him, which is its own quiet achievement.
