There are many singers who do older Pop Standards almost exclusively.

Michael Feinstein, Josh Grogan and Harry Connick, Jr, come to mind.

They can play the big clubs in Vegas and entertain an audience of older, more conservative patrons that have just as much right to be accomodated as the Rock, Soul and Country fans.

They are an improvement over the sewer sludge that has oozed into Pop music in the last 20 years.

We really had a good thing going, as a country, when great Pop singers like Bing Crosby, Jo Stafford, Frank Sinatra, Nancy Wilson, Perry Como and Nat Cole brought people of all backgrounds together.

Music right now is dividing people into distinct tribes. Not good for this country's future.
