List of crooners

This is a list of crooners—singers in a soft, intimate style made possible by the introduction of microphones and amplification. "Crooner" is an American epithet given to male singers of pop standards, mostly from the Great American Songbook, either backed by a full orchestra, a big band or by a piano. Originally it was an ironic term denoting an emphatically sentimental, often emotional singing style made possible by the use of microphones.
