1995 Unforgettable - Johnny Hartman

Born in Chicago, Johnny began singing early on and performed while in Special Services in the Army. Hartman studied music while at college and made his professional debut in the mid-'40s, performing with Earl Hines and recording his first sides for Regent/Savoy. After Hine's band broke up later in 1947, Hartman moved to The Dizzy Gillespie Big Band and stayed for two years, recording a few additional sides for Mercury as well. During the late '60s and early '70s, he recorded a range of jazz and pop standards albums for ABC, Perception, and Blue Note. Hartman recorded sparingly during the 1970s, but returned with two albums recorded in 1980, one of which (Once in Every Life) earned a Grammy nomination just two years before his death in 1983. I don't know what do you think about this guy, but to me the nickname "THE VOICE" (Awarded by Frankie, should be -at least-, shared with Johnny. I'm very proud to present it.
