Mel Torme -- "The Velvet Fog."
I always adored his sense of timing and his range.
When I was living in Puerto Rico he was appearing at the (then) Americana in Isla Verde. I saw him outside the theatre, ran up to him, hugged him and gave him a kiss (on his cheek). He kidded me about my husband being jealous!
What a loss he is.
